OVERVIEW

Julie married young and became a mother young, finishing RISoD while building a family with her college sweetheart Daniel. Danielle attended business school in nearby DC but created a comfortable life for Julie when they married shortly before Alex was born. Julie, born with a creative spark in her eye has yet to let go of that inspiration channelling it into motherhood. Life seemed perfect until the AA Flight 283 crashed in 2001. Julie and her kids were to meet Danielle in California as he returned from a Hong Kong business trip. Following her return she felt she'd interupted Danielle's life. While she worked very hard to recapture his full attention it was clear that while Danielle had given her a good life before, 9/11 had freed him from what seemed a prison of responsibility - to have it return was too much and he's broken the marriage because of it. Four years had settled Danielle into a life that his family could not understand, although it was just yesterday for Julie. She loves him still but there's little of the man she knew left in her husband now...

Currently Julie is in distress as Danielle has taken Maggie (and tried to take Alex) as part of their seperation. Danielle's representation comes from Kings Farm, while Julie has asked Brian Jaffe to aid her. Maggie is apparently okay but has not been aloud to see her mother in months.

An as yet unknown connection presists between Julie and Arthur Redford. They apparently "first met" in Boston's plane terminal awaiting AA Flight 283 and have maintained a distant attraction. In an alternate reality visited by Arthur's time control abilities it was suggested that Arthur may be the original father to one or both of Julie's children. This would be somewhat of a relief to Danielle possibly but currently is unproven and undiscovered.

CAST'S OPINONS

• Jack:  ???
• Brain: On Julie Young: "Julie's the reason I got into politics. Or people just like her, at least. People who have kids to raise, jobs and relationships to worry about; who don't have time to follow every bit of bullshit that goes through Washington; real people. The sort of people who can get by in life, but just wish things could be a little easier. That's why I want Julie on Hopewell's board so badly; she's the only one of us who has any real perspective on what's normal."
• Arthur:  ???
• Mandy: On Julie Young and her family: Julie's been through the sh!t and still is going strong. I hope to see her and Arthur figure things out and she can leave that bastard Daniel. As for her kids, Maggie's in enemy hands, and I want to change that and Alex is with his mother, thanks in no small part to me. She's good people and it's not fair what has been happening to her. If I had anything to do about it, after we resque Zaida, we need to turn our attentions to Maggie."
