She's been let go according to the new SOD. Her last airdate will coincide with the reveal that Kathy is really Kate, Tad and Dixie's daughter.

ETA: Thanks to a poster at GH, Soapzone for PMing me the info.

That's a shame, but we all knew it was coming. It was just a matter of when they would decide to do the Kate reveal, and that time has come. They're not going to kill her off. She'll probably get a few episodes where she's very conflicted about giving up Kate, leading up to a teary scene where she decides to do the right thing and hand the girl over to Tad. She'll then decide to leave town, to join Maria or something, to start fresh. That's how I see it playing out.

Bit pissed off, not a Julia fan, but Kathy will lost ANOTHER parent? This is beyond ridiculous, that's 4 parents(counting Dixie, her adoptive parents, and Julia) in just a few years

Lazy writing that so many characters have to be sacrificed so Tad can be reunited with the daughter he doesn't give two shits about

I wouldnt say Julie is being sacrificed for Tad bc this was going to happen with or without him. She's been on the show for how long now and outside of her return, they have yet to do anything major with the character. Its obvious they had no direction for her and really had no interest in writing for her. She's been a waste of money especially since she wasnt being utilized. That had nothing to do with Tad

Seperating this girl from two sets of parents she loves (be it through death or leaving town), will they do it? Children are not purses despite AMC's weird laws on kidnapping, they have feelings. She loved the parents who adopted her. She loves Julia. Will they really have Julia say: "You can keep her since you're her daddy. I'm going to leave town." She's not a baby, she's like 6, right?

The only way you don't hurt this kid anymore, with the character leaving, is if the character takes the kid with her.

It'll be interesting to see what exactly they're going to do here.

Wasn't she brought back to be paired with Cam after Rebecca left? They fizzled pretty quickly, and the Jamie fling seemed very rushed. After that they never knew what do with her. During the sad last days of McTavish and the early Babs/Jimbo days, when they were literally throwing anything against the wall to see what sticks, they paired her in scenes and stories with David, Josh, Jack, and Tad. I guess nothing really clicked.

I kind of agree, but there's so many ways they could go about this. Maybe Tad and Julia share custody or something.

Knowing AMC Julia will either be torn down so they can justify Tad ripping Kathy from the one constant in her life since she lost her parents, or they'll kill her off, which will devestate Kathy.

And what Tad leaves the show one month out of the year to go "visit" Kate.... based on his drive to find this child for the past year and a half that gels pretty good LOL. He just now is all of the sudden "gotta find Kate".

I even thought for a minute they were going to do an Adam/Julia route.... to tie in to this whole Kate storyline. Hell that might have been more interesting. Adam gets to raise one of Tad's children just like Tad raised J.R for all of those years. I tend to think eventually Adam will be "raising" Jenny and that will be the karma for Tad.

She came in with the dragon story - Zach, Di, Tad, Sam, Kendall.

They played with Ryan and Julia.

Then there was Jamie. Jamie and Amanda were so good together, but they gave him to Julia.

There was David and Julia.

There was also a short Jack and Julia dance. Ditto Tad and Julia.

Ryan/Julia was the missed opportunity here. I liked their chemistry, I don't understand why AMC didn't just do it. It would have worked, a nice chemistry + Kendall would have had an issue with Julia being Ryan's wife and her kids step-mother and it would have been snark all the time (and they did it well, Brooke/Erica-lite - there was a grudging respect under the meow).

I always liked Ryan and Julia, but they dropped it like a dime.

I actually liked David and Julia, they had some hotness about them, they had potential IMO

David/Julia smoked! He could have been her best fling since Anna!

No big surprise here. Another talented actress wasted by AMC.

At least Kate will finally be where she belongs.

IA that David and Julia were great together! Had they been paired long-term two years ago like they should have been and been a family with Kathy, imagine the melodrama NOW with Tad trying to rip that beautiful child away from David, who had so filled his life with joy after losing baby Leora and idiot Babe rejecting him! I also would have tossed in the twist (real or not, youneverknow with David!) that Kate was really HIS daughter with Dix, the whole mess a case for the family court books! I just wrote over two years' worth of story for David and Julia in about a minute, so I'll never believe TPTB's propaganda that there was nothing to left to write for either character!
