There are only six episodes of Ugly Betty left to go, so if the show really is going to address the questions surrounding Justin's sexual orientation as executive producer Silvio Horta promised, it's going to have to happen soon.

The simplest way to do that is to give him a potential love interest, and that's why a character being introduced in the March 17th episode has our curiosity piqued. Here's the casting call that went out for the part:

[AUSTIN] male, to play 15-17, Caucasian, good-looking, great personality, MUST be a strong actor. Please only submit actors under 18. RECURRING CO-STAR/POSSIBLE GUEST STAR.

Couple that possibility of a recurring role along with the teaser for the March 17th episode...

" Justin loves his acting class, but finds himself in an unexpected triangle with his new pals, Austin and Lily."

...and you've got some pretty strong evidence that Austin might just be Justin's first love.

The young actor cast in the part is named Ryan McGinniss and you can see him in several of the advance photos below of episode 416: "All the World's A Stage".

You can also get a look at a new love interest for Betty played by handsome Broadway actor Aaron Tveit.
