NBC had to bump back Becki Newton's new comedy, 'Love Bites' to midseason when the Ugly Betty/Girl Crazy star shared the news. Vernon Sanders, executive vice president of current programming explained, "she plays a virgin, so we have to make adjustments to that."

She also appeared in ABC.com's Mode After Hours webisode series. Ugly Betty was canceled in 2010 after four seasons due to low-ratings.

In late 2009, Newton performed at a New York City Center Encores! presentation of the Gershwin musical Girl Crazy, which was directed by Jerry Zaks. She portrayed Molly Gray and performed opposite real-life husband Chris Diamantopoulos.
