Eileen strikes up a conversation with Julie when they both ran outside after Maria Connor (Samia Ghadie) crashed her car into ''Underworld''. Julie says that she is getting fed up of her partner, Kirk, because he is unemployed and not doing anything about it. Julie's boss, Tony Gordon (Gray O'Brien), puts her in an awkward position at work, insisting she sack one of the seamstresses, who are also her friends, though as supervisor, Tony feels it is necessary to step up to her role more effectively. Tony carries on bullying Julie to sack one of her friends until she stands up for herself but Tony threatens to sack her unless she does the task in hand. She is later saved by newcomer Luke Strong (Craig Kelly) who tells her that her job was safe and undermines Tony. Julie's relationship with Kirk begins to strain. She has a pregnancy scare, which is negative, much to her delight. Julie tells Hayley Cropper (Julie Hesmondhalgh) that she needs a real man and no longer loves Kirk and soon dumps him. Eileen pesters Julie by asking her about her mother, Paula, because they were friends at school. Following her split from Kirk, Julie begins to show an interest in Eileen's son, Jason. The pair get drunk in the Rovers and head back to Jason's for a night of passion, unaware that they are blood-related. At Colin's 70th party at The Rovers a few days later, Paula comes in drunk, urging Julie to stop seeing Jason and reveals that Julie and Eileen are half-sisters. A few days later, Julie is horrified to discover that Colin has had a stroke. Determined to get to know her father, she visits him in hospital. When he later dies of a heart attack, she is distraught and devastated that she didn't have a chance to know him. Julie starts to work with Eileen's boyfriend, Jesse Chadwick (John Thomson), in child entertainment venues but when Eileen finds out, she forbids him to see Julie, even though they briefly still work together secretly before calling it quits. After a strain in Eileen and Jesse's relationship, Jesse kisses Julie saying he has feelings for her. A guilty Julie later tells Eileen about this and the sisters chase him out of The Rovers and away from the Street. Julie and Eileen then bond and promise to make a fresh start on their new-found relationship. Julie meets Brian Packham (Peter Gunn) and both are instantly smitten. Fiz Brown's (Jennie McAlpine) husband John Stape (Graeme Hawley) worries that Brian will uncover his identity fraud. They inform Brian's wife, who then interrupts Julie and Brian's date, telling Julie that she is still married to Brian. John and Fiz then tell Brian's wife that Julie is mentally unstable and harassing Brian. She decides to take Brian back, breaking Julie's heart. Julie helps Eileen break in Owen Armstrong's (Ian Puleston-Davies) builder's yard to obtain his fixed accounts and document so they can use them to stop Owen threatening Eileen who paid a £10,000 cheque meant for Owen into her own account. Julie then discovers that she is related to Dennis Tanner (Philip Lowrie) as his mother Elsie Tanner (Pat Phoenix) was a first cousin of her paternal grandfather, Arnley Grimshaw. When John's secrets are revealed, Julie decides that she wants to see Brian again. While on a date, Julie gets drunk and accuses Brian of flirting with Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley). Despite their following encounters also being awkward, Dennis and Eileen force the pair to talk and they begin a relationship. Julie becomes pregnant but Brian had a vasectomy and suspects Julie of having an affair. Tests reveal that Julie is not pregnant and a growth led to a positive pregnancy test. Julie has to have her ovaries removed, leaving her unable to have children. Julie later becomes good friends with Kirsty Soames (Natalie Gumede), unaware that she is domestically abusing Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall). Julie defends Kirsty on a number of occasions, even compromising her own friendship with Fiz. Julie becomes suspicious of Kirsty's behaviour and Kirsty slaps Julie when she confronts her. Julie realises that Kirsty is the one abusing Tyrone and tries to plead his innocence but is told to go to the police. Julie decides she would like to foster children to fill the void in her life and talks Brian into the idea. The pair meet with a children's social worker and Julie is delighted to be informed that she is an ideal candidate. Brian tells Julie that the fostering application has been declined, unaware he withdrew the application. Her nephew, Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley) tells Julie that Brian does not want to foster and has got a new job in Wales. Upset, Julie ends the relationship but he attempts to change her mind and join him in Wales. When she discovers that he withdrew the adoption application, she orders him to leave her alone. Brian then leaves for Wales but Julie misses him. When Dennis returns to Weatherfield after some time away, Julie allows him to live with her. Dennis comes up with a plan to reconcile with his wife, Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox). Dennis and Julie stage a public argument which ends in Julie throwing Dennis out as Dennis knows that Rita has a kind heart and she will take him in. Julie is unsure but goes along with it for Dennis' sake. A few weeks after their staged argument, Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden), is moaning about Dennis in The Rovers and Julie lets it slip about Dennis's plan. Norris informs Rita and she confronts Julie. When Rita ends her marriage to Dennis, he storms into ''The Kabin'' and confronts Norris, leading to an argument. The argument results in Dennis punching Norris in the face, causing him to fall over. Rita enters just as this is happening and sees Dennis taking money from the till. She physically throws Dennis out of ''The Kabin'' for punching Norris. Dennis then sadly bids farewell to Julie before leaving Weatherfield for the last time. Julie later begins a relationship with Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin), much to the frustration of Mary Taylor (Patti Clare), who is Dev's children's nanny, who also has feelings for him. Julie and Mary argue regularly until Dev stops them, pointing out that they are upsetting his children. Julie later accompanies the ''Underworld'' staff on a trip to an awards ceremony where her boss Carla Connor (Alison King) has been nominated for an award. Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) is driving the minibus that is taking the staff to the ceremony and he almost collides with some boy racers during the journey. However, the boy racers later overtake Steve and stop right in front of him, causing an accident. Julie, Steve and Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) are the first to regain consciousness but Steve is in shock and flees, leaving Julie and Sean to deal with the traumatic situation. Julie copes relatively well and helps many people out of the wreckage. She uses strips from her dress to help people with cuts and bleeding wounds and helps Sean cope when he has a panic attack. Julie and the other passengers later panic when they realises that all of the staff are safe, except Carla. However, Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) risks her life to save Carla and nearly falls to her death when the minibus falls over a cliff. At the hospital, Julie is met by Dev, where she breaks down in his arms. When Dev reveals he will be leaving Weatherfield for India for four weeks, he leaves Julie in charge of everything, including his corner shop and children. This news is not taken well by Mary and Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent), especially when Julie orders Sophie to start work at 6:30 in the morning. Dev eventually takes action, leaving Sophie in charge of the shop, Mary in charge of the children and Julie supervising the two, which she is not pleased about. She later bids Dev farewell, along with Mary, Sophie and the children, as he leaves and Julie moves into Dev's house. Julie and Mary put their feud to one side and become friends, after Julie allows Mary to move in with her and the children, Aadi (Zennon Ditchett) and Asha (Tanisha Gorey) after Mary's motorhome is taken away by the council. When Dev returns from India, but he brings a woman named Talisa Grady (Samantha Power) with him. Julie simply sees Talisa as a friend of Dev's but Mary realises that Dev has feelings for the newcomer. Julie is stunned when Brian returns and attempts to take her on a 3 month adventure around the world. She is frustrated by Brian's romantic gestures and publicly slaps him and shouts at him in front of her factory colleagues. Julie goes to the shop and is heartbroken to hear Dev revealing his love to Talisa. She confronts Dev and Talisa, where Dev admits his feelings for Talisa but she tells them that she is a lesbian, before leaving Weatherfield, and Julie expresses her disappointment in Dev before packing her bags and moving in with Eileen. She decides to accept Brian's offer but tells him that she will be going alone, and not having to endure his romantic gestures anymore. Julie sees how upset Brian is about her suggestion, but he agrees because he wants Julie to be happy. She tells him that he can come with her, and they leave together after an emotional farewell to Eileen, Sean, Jason, Mary, Dev, Aadi and Asha. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Julie Carp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
