I spoiled this in case people didn't want to know, though i'm sure most know bout the whole in the future thing now.
Anyway on andrea bowen's imdb profile (plays julie) there is a news thing saying that teri kicked up a fuss because when they discussed characters future plans, julie wasnt there... so shes pretty much been fired. teri made them get her a cake and was upset. This is justified, she has been in it since the beginning. I think its just that julie is a bit boring. I've always felt kind of bad for andrea that she didn't get much compared to the other kids.
When I first heard that their making her leave I was gutted and hated what Marc Cherry had done, but then I read in another article that it wasn't Marc's idea, and he protested about it but he could do a thing about it and apparently he was in tears. So I forgave him
But seriously I hope Julie returns, I know Edie is. Apparently Edie will return to the street with a big new storyline and she supposed to have changed dramatically I hope they don't make her too nice. I love her evilness its something that keeps the viewers hooked! When people play against Edie you know she'll find out and get her sweat revenge.
But Marc said he wants her back in the future and that he had an idea that she could return as a housewife, or something like that I cant remember. But she will be back, she has too.
Apparently she is returning says Marc Cherry, but she wont be on as much as she was, she'll just be turning up now and again. Shame really, shes a really good actress, there's no reason to get rid of her.
