Is Julia the Ultimate Squator and Freeloader?

[loril54]

A question that was never answered. Julia spent the night at the Old House when she was attacked by Tom Jennings, in Josettes room.

I do think that everyone thought that Julia was having an affair with Barnabas or something else.  She was at the Old House more than when she was at Collinwood.

I'm not sure Elizabeth would allowed Julia to stay at Collinwood if she had thought there was an affair going on between Julia and Barnabas.  She might have been broadminded enough not to object to the affair, but she wouldn't have liked the image of Collinwood that it would have conveyed.

I do think that Liz wouldn't have said a word even if she thought something was going on between Barnabas and Julia.  We know that Victoria spent the night during a rain storm and there weren't any reprisals.  Dr. Woodard, Sam Evans and Burke Devlin were the only ones the seemed to express disapproval to what they thought might have been happening at the Old House.

And that's probably because they weren't getting any in their own lives.

Julia was a bigger quack than the AFFLACK duck, and was a bigger freeloader at collinwood than Jason McGuire ever hoped to be

Hey, at least Julia never tried to squeeze as much money as she could out of Elizabeth. You can't say that about Jason.

[spoiler] I mean, he wasn't satisified with the swiss bank account he forced Elizabeth to set up for him. He intended to get his hands on the whole Collins fortune of Collinsport through marriage. When that failed, he resorted to grand larceny by breaking into the Old House and and trying to get his hands on the jewels he saw Barnabas showing Willie. [/spoiler]

Jason was too greedy for his own good, and it was his undoing in the end.

Umm .. . Elizabeth lived a secucluded life at  Collinwood under the assumption she murdered her husband and his rotting body was in the basement. .I don't think the character of Elizabeth passed judgment.  I too think it was the writers and actors sly inside joke that everyone else believed there was hanky panky between B & J--there was innuendo planted by enough characters over the years.

Exactly. Julia was nothing like him. Though she could have certainly given Jason pointers on how to be more subtle about extending ones welcome. 

Great new avatar, J99!

Julia probably provided them with some medical care we didn't get to see, as well.

And I agree that everyone else thought that Barnabas and Julia were having quite a lot of fun *cough* working on that book.

[Taeylor Collins]

That damn book was there excuse for everything! LOL

[MagnusTrask]

Evenyually they probably let Julia off the hook on the book, thinking "We don't really want our family's story told anymore, do we?"

[Taeylor Collins]

Yeah but they also claimed to be working on a book about ERIC LANG and then something else (I think) as an excuse.  Or maybe I am thinking of Barney saying he was [spoiler]"experimenting with electronics" when (to Carolyns) when he was punshing Phillip[/spoiler]
