She clashed with Fiz several times, as Fiz felt she was trying to take over and Julie thought Fiz wanted Kirk back. Julie was not seen for several months, but reappeared in July, apparently now living with Kirk, Chesney, and Fiz. When they found out John Stape had been making anonymous phone calls to Fiz, Julie suggested Fiz go to the police. She was also on hand with Kirk when his friend Tyrone Dobbs proposed to Molly Compton. Julie looked for a job in the factory after having spoken to Tony Gordon and managed to get a job and is covering for Fiz's friend Sally whilst she goes on holiday. Despite the past conflicts between Fiz and Julie, they are now good friends, this was evident on 25th August 2008, Julie spotted Fiz having a drink with John and later told Fiz that she thought John was a kind man and she suggested Fiz reconcilate with him.
