Poor Amy Jo Johnson | Fandom (2024)

Spoilers: Seasons 1-3 and Julie.

Why were the writters and showrunners such @$$holes to Julie's character? I understand an audience needs a reason to accept why a character suddenly leaves a show, but Amy Jo Johnson quit because she needed time to mourn the loss of her mother. Could you imagine playing a character whose father suddenly dies, then having your mother suddenly die, and when you ask to leave, they make the last impression of your character as meth-head, out of nowhere?

What's more, the did almost nothing with her character for the two and a half years she was on the show! They itroduced an incredibly interesting plot-line of her trying to find her mother, then ignored it for nearly a year. Then, it appears again for a breif stint, and is dropped like hotcakes with no further mention until an after-summer-break recap when the entire story-line is over. Then, nothing, again, and boom! She left because she's a meth-head. And, as Felicty states the very next episode after Julie's gone: "that's why she was acting so unpredicatably!" Come on.

Has anyone seen/read an interview with the actress over this? I would be interested to see how she felt at the time. I imagine it hurt.
