I just love hearing her acknowledge the absurdity of what they had her doing. And there's another notorious interview in which she complains: "Julia's *such* a straight-ass." Hilarious!
But we still love that straight ass all the same, huh? Especially when she has friends to loosen her Orbachs' belt a bit...
(!) [_!_] (supposed to be a tight-ass and hard-ass smiley, respectively...cough)
Somebody years ago wrote this hysterically funny thing about Dr. Hoffman being jailed for medical malpractice and incompetence. I think it was part of a Collins Chriistmas letter, or something. It was so perfect.
Dang...I'd love to read that...sigh.
Anyway....I find this thread extremely amusing (taking a difficult ethics class right now
) I always thought (well, for fanfic purposes anyway...cough) that Julia was a doctor that had specialized in hematology and psychiatry...eventually she acquired Wyndcliffe, oversees everything, did her rounds, and dabbled in experiments with life and death during her off hours (LOL). And then she came to Collinwood, etc...Oh, I dunno.
Any-Hoo, what's a thread about Julia's peculiar habit without a pic, huh?
This is from later on (episode #677) but I thought it was interesting because its a close up of her ciggie (I love this scene because the camera pans over Chris' cottage, gradually revealing Julia's things thrown here and there...makes one wonder what was going on as she waited for Chris and Barnabas to arrive {cough, cough}).
