Who was your favourite Betty love interest?


Betty had her fair share of love interests and bfs but who were your favourites?

For me
If they hadn't IMO forshadowed from the get go her and Daniel together I would have loved to have seen her with Gio
or Zachary Boule I know he was kind of a jerk but I think I liked the character for some reason- maybe because he wasn't one of the rich/dork working for Mode or the "everyday" guy like Walter but somewhere in between. I wished that relationship had been explored for a few more episodes.

I would've said Daniel because he was endgame BUT I think the revelation he loved her and all that was a bit rushed. They knew it was the final season so I think instead of the whole cult thing if they wanted to show Daniel and Betty together they should have had Betty really been a strong support system for Daniel comforting him after Molly's death and him maybe coming over to Queens to hang a lot more to the point where they gradually become closer and closer so when he realises he loves her it isn't so out of the blue.

Definitely henry. Matt was annoying as was Jesse.

I've just discovered the series on Netflix and finished watching them. My vote goes to Henry. He is a great guy, smart, funny, caring. They were good together and had the best chemistry. Their timing sucked though. Actually, I feel sorry for Henry, he wanted to marry Betty, and he was definitely not over her and was always ready to resume their relationship. She on the other hand had to pursue her dreams that didn't include Henry and his son.
Relationship with Matt had good moments but it could have been much better if America Ferrera and Daniel Gold who played Matt had a better chemistry.
Daniel and Betty have some potential. Daniel definitely gets her ambitious side and they've been good friends for 4 years but it's hard for me to imagine them being romantic. Maybe if show had more time to develop that part of their relationship, if it would be easier.

My favorite was Henry! He almost made ME fall in love with him. He had a great character that matched Betty's; he was smart and cute and funny and always knew what to say to make Betty smile. And the ONLY reason they're not together was an unplanned pregnancy by some hussy who can't keep her pants on, otherwise they would've been happy forever and ever and there wouldn't be a string of misfit guys after him.
Jesse...doesn't even count. Matt has to be my least favorite. He has terrible chemistry, rarely ever smiles and doesn't make Betty's heart flutter the same way Henry did.
I thought Gio was cool, he probably comes in as a good 2nd, only 'cause he also knew how to pick Betty back up after she falls and knows what he wants to do with his life.
Matt never knows what the hell he wants, he's whiny and unpleasant. Matt, go find your "passion" elsewhere 'cause Betty ain't it! :)
I wish that baby wasn't Henry's so him and Betty could live a life of happiness again! He was perfect. Darn the luck. DARN.

I hated all of them. Betty's love life was by far the least interesting aspect of the show. Henry was a bore and his love story with Betty was way too corny. Gio didn't really work. I kind of liked Matt, but they didn't really know what to do with him and wrote him out right after he got together with Betty for good. I thought the show was best when Betty was single. That's why I liked the first half of season three and the second half of season four the most.

I just started watching it over again on Netflix. I thought Henry was her best love interest. Gio was my second favorite. I never expected Daniel and Betty to get together, but I do think they could be a good match for each other. They both changed drastically since the first season. They've both seen the best and worst of each other and they were best friends. A lot of relationships grow out of friendships.

On a side note, Jesse was a jerk but I like the actor and singer who played him. So, as much as I disliked the way he treated Betty, I was happy to see Val Emmich on the show for a little while.

Henry for me as well.

That said, I didn't hate Walter.

Henry all the way! He was the cutest, sweetest, nerdiest guy! :D He was very down -to-earth, although his downside was how foolish he was when it came to Charlie. I'm glad we got to see him (and mini-henry!) one last time in season 4. OMG forget Betty--I would marry you, Henry!

I didn't like Walter at all, and hated the fact that Betty went back to him even after he cheated on her and left her for Gina Gambarro. Should've left him to rot in his own pit of misery.
