oh my god that was funny cyrus!

For the amount of time the character is on the show she doesn't get a backstory, and because she's a main character and is on the show constantly, it's kind of surprising why they never created any kind of past for her.

And that is a huge irony often noted by others. . .when the show resoundingly revolves around Barnabas's past and then Quentin's . ..Elizabeth's. . Roger's . . .**why** is Julia's past life never even mentioned?  We get only a few hints . .the medallion being from her Grandmother (which could've been an outright lie to cover up her hypnonsis-addicted ways) and the fact that she **chose** medical school over marriage/family. . and her brilliance in medical school (a la Dr Woodward)--I think that's about it. .

damn she looks good . .68!?  So this puts an interesting wrinkle . .for me on the age issues with Barnabas. . Julia and Angelique. .okay sure Julia was still 14 years older but Lara was 30 when she did DS, GH somewhere in the mid40s . .and Frid also mid-40s. . interesting. . .::tapping toes:::

Interesting commentary all around.  I think that while Julia went along with Barnabas when sometimes she just shoulda turned tail and left. . it often was not without a sharp critique of how dumb his ideas were . .but she knew he'd do it with or without her and when he was without her..disaster was the main result so she chose to be helpful always reminding him in a not-so-subtle fashion at times who had more brains and oftentimes, more compassion.

I think we "remember" a bit differently than it was staged. . i had read commentary here for a long time about Julia becoming a doormat then when i watched the show . .she would acquiesce but begrudgingly and usually to ensure someone else didn't get hurt?   But then maybe that's how I 'remember'.  .?

I do agree with ProfStokes on the hysterics. . sometimes I think even "G" and the writers forgot she was playing a doctor--so screaming at cadavers was superfluous. . .but they wanted a good scream i guess and NancyB was off somewhere else. .

Didn't KLS hair color change  . .it was red at one point . .maybe she caught on to Dan's jen for the flame. . .but it seemed to go back to light brown---

Barnabas:  Well .. she never offered me that *type* of therapy---

Julia:  when is the Midol gonna kick in? damn it!
