Character History

Janelle Sollars was born and raised in Chicago. Her mother was a witness in a Federal Crime Case, and so the family moved to Knots Landing California, and she was renamed Julie Williams. Being in the Witness Protection Program was not easy for young Julie. She couldn't be in class photos, and had to throw a spelling bee that she could have easily won. Otherwise Julie seemed to adjust to her new life. She made friends and babysat for neighbor Val's twins.

Loss of a Mother

Julie was upset when Frank left Pat when Pat wanted to be a Doctor again. Julie decided to help them get back together, and missing each other, they too wanted to make up. Pat told Julie that whenever she and Frank made up after a big argument, they had made a pact to do it over spumoni. Pat left to get some at the store, and as she got home, Danny Waleska, who was very drunk, hit Pat with her car. Pat had internal injuries, and went into a coma. Julie was sure she would get better, but then heard Danny say that they would take Pat off life support. Enraged, Julie wanted to hire an attorney to stop it, but Frank explained that Pat was brain dead. Julie broke into Danny's house and found his rifle. When Danny got home, she held it up to him, and said that he was going to die before Pat did. Julie shot, but missed. Frank heard and came running over. He told Julie that Danny deserved to die, but if she shot him, she would be no better than he was, and her mother raised her to be better than that. Julie gave the gun to Frank.

Accidental Death of Danny Waleska

Julie was devastated at Pat's death. She took refuge with her friends, including Jason Lochner, who Frank hated. One day Julie stayed home from school, and went swimming in the pool of the vacant house next door. Suddenly Danny Waleska came up to her. He was drunk, and started yelling that he was going to turn her in for trying to shoot him. He chased her around the pool. She ran home, with Danny following. She managed to get in the back door, and slammed it, but Danny's hands were in the frame and he broke his fingers. Drunk and in pain, he stumbled around and fell into the pool where he drown. Upset, Julie started skipping school.

Julie and Jason

Tired of her disobeying and not going to school, Frank dragged her there and sat through all of her classes with her. Julie was mortified. She also noticed that there seemed to be an attraction between her dad and her English teacher, and decided to set them up. As things settled down, her relationship with Frank improved. Julie began to date a classmate, Horace, but they broke up. She was becoming close with Jason Lochner, who was now living next door at the McKenzie's. Julie and Jason began to date. Jason later won an essay contest and his prize was to study abroad in Sweden. At the same time, Frank decided to send Julie to stay with relatives in Chicago, and soon moved there himself. Julie still lives in Chicago.
