There's been some attempt to flesh the character out in fan fiction. Some of it's been good, some not. The oddest fan fiction that I ever encountered presented the college age Julia as a dead ringer for Maggie Evans. Some nonsupernatural trauma led to Julia having cosmetic surgery and emerging like Grayson Hall.

Sounds like a clear cut case of malpractice, doesn't it?

That particular plot twist (which I think that we can safely assume that no one saw coming) was written by Jeff Thompson. Does it explain matters to point out that he did his doctoral thesis on the collected works of Marilyn Ross?

Yes, it was a continuing story that ran in the early issues of The World of Dark Shadows, through the mid to late 1980's. The last chapter that I can remember had Quentin's wife Zelda time traveling to the late 1950's where she was impersonating a cousin of Julia's. Julia was apparently as gullible as the Collins family and welcomed her at face value. Somebody let Barnabas out of his coffin and he headed straight for Julia's neck. Maybe that's why she had the cosmetic surgery but the story stopped appearing before that could be addressed.
And many thanks for all the curses, folks!

Just a little more styling and she'd have Jane Jetson hair.
