They were going to kill Julie?!!


Were they really going to kill off Julie if the show got a second season? I know Faye Grant got cast in Singin' in the Rain on Broadway in 1985, so I am wondering if she wanted to leave or if they wrote her out for another reason.

Anyone know?

Yes

Julie was going to be Vaporized in the episode "The Attack"

"The Attack" episode was never filmed.

The only good thing about that script was Tyler's return.

Actually, I wish they would have. I really liked her character and Faye Grant as an actress...and her character was an important one.

The benefits of her being vaporized would have been twofold:
More of a sense of reality, which would up the suspense factor for remaining main players.
The shock factor makes for good TV. Seeing her vaporized would certainly be shocking.

I read somewhere that Faye Grant wanted to be written out because she was disappointed in the turn that the series had taken.

I understand the idea that in war no one is untouchable, but I would've been disappointed had they killed of Julie. Especially if she was vaporized because it would just be the same thing that happened to Elias.

I didn't know. Don't ask me where I heard this, but I though Michael and Faye were excited about a Second Season because supposidly Ham and Julie would start to develop a romantic relationship, seeing is she and Mike really grew apart romantically over the course of the series.
