Do Betty and Daniel become together after the show?


They didn't clearly describe their relationship in the ending.
What do you think?
Did they become a couple?
Will they get married?

reply

I don't think they were a couple.The ending was really rushed.It seemed like it was more one sided where Daniel had feelings for Betty but she didn't feel the same way about him.If they get married then they would need another season or a movie because they would need time to explore their romance.

The ending suggested that maybe they would get together, like it was the beginning of something.

i agree, betty started her new job in london as a fresh new start and daniel quit mode to start afresh and be near her in london. the start of two new beginnings that are developing together

the first time i watched this years ago, i sort of think that they copped out by doing the whole "betty and daniel get together". then after watching it for the past few weeks again i love it <3

I would've accepted them being together if 1) he wasn't still getting over his dead wasn't I mean wasn't it the same season?
2) if he gotten a crush on Betty before the braces came off and she got "beautiful" I would've loved it but once she wasn't "ugly" then she took notice

reply

I think it was supposed to be vague. He clearly was working through what his feelings are for her and they both needed fresh starts. Do they get together? Who knows.

As for him not taking notice of her until the braces came off and she became more attractive? She also became increasingly more confident and matured a lot. She probably felt attractive and that can go a long way in others finding you attractive.

I never felt the ending was rushed. I'm pretty sure the show had half a season's warning that it was ending. They tied some loose ends up but they also never made it feel 'tidy' or convenient. Betty got a job that was better for her but she made less money, Mark knew he'd have more creative responsibility but its not like they made him creative director or something unbelievable. Daniel realized he might have blossoming feelings for Betty and with all that has happened with Mode and all his personal stuff in new York it makes sense that he would want a fresh start somewhere else. But did they ride off into the sunset together? No. The writers left it open. Open for so many possibilities. Everyone seemed to be on a good path, but not an 'everything's perfect' path. I thought the ending was done very well.

I like to think that yes, they got together and lived happily ever after.

Betty Suarez Meade--has a nice ring to it.

"Betty Suarez Meade--has a nice ring to it."

You have to remember that Daniel is a very needy character.He always needs her to bail him out of problems.It doesn't help that he was sleeping with Amanda and having sex with her.It was her who dumped him and not the other way around.When you love someone you don't sleep with another person.Their relationship was good friends.If Betty really loved Daniel then she would have not moved all the way to London.It seems very 1 sided.

reply

I don't think she every thought of the possibility of them being a couple and I don't think Daniel noticed it right before she left. Sometimes you don't realize you love someone until someone else points it out to you. Both Daniel and Betty grew throughout the years and weren't the same people at the end that they were at the start. I could see them falling in love with each other and living "happily ever after". They were each other's best friends and that is a great start for a relationship.

reply

I agree with everything you said. You pretty much took the words out of my mouth.

reply

It was leaving things open to interpretation! I like how it didn't solidify any relationship but left the possibility there.

reply

For sure

reply

I'm sure they can if they match up their berhythm...
