Julie was a Northerner who had to find her feet quickly in the new Thatcherite Britain she found herself cast into in the 1980s. She never had a lazy bone in her body and juggled career and fussing around Jeremy in a way I could never have managed. She was dazzled by Jeremy's charms and later his family's wealth as she looked over Carbonells Farm from the top of a double decker bus.
Unbeknownst to her it was Jeremy who was using this unsophisticated Northern girl for his own ends in bouncing his evil ideas off her in attempting to do away with his family. Julie forbore from restraining him in the way that she should have,hoping that this was just a phase in Jeremy's life he would grow out of. She found herself caught up in a maelstrom of emotion from which she did well to extricate herself. As a whole I can't blame Julie for Jeremy's actions and it would have been heartless not to give her another chance to start a new life in a foreign clime,where she has rendered a good account of herself and put the past behind her.
