Neighbours - Julie's Death (1994)

[@garethe9886]

I remember this so vividly I was 12/13 eating my tea. Gutted now here I am in my 40’s wondering how life was so simple and kind 😳

[@creamclassic]

Neighbours always had the best incidental music back in the day ;)

[@SPIKE-0000]

Back when Neighbours was Neighbours...cracking era and season from my mid-teens...The later ones after 2004'ish were never the same IMO....

[@Jimdixon1953]

I remember Julie Martin standing for local elections and getting two votes, and Lou Carpenter announcing the results 🤣🤣🤣

[@mazc1358]

Me too, and then she realized she'd voted for herself and therefore either her husband or her father had voted for someone else! (Tbh I think neither had voted for her.)

[@jesseandrews2303]

That ending score is so iconic

[@AlexxAlexander]

That music takes me right back. Neighbours should commission an orchestral soundtrack composition again, but they have changed the show so dramatically that it would probably be laughed at these days unfortunately.

[@reds005]

The serious music. Classic neighbours

[@Mattbarson23]

I remember seeing this on BBC1 back in 1995 I think and considering I was only 8 years old at the time, this was a quite shocking scene to watch when you’re so young. You can understand having the memory block when your own mum during the night has just fallen her death. The character did have her really annoying moments particularly during the last year when she did all these really insane thing’s

[@Erinydwi]

Same, although I was a bit younger. It must be the first soap memory I have.

[@rajnirvan3336]

I remember this too

[@thomaslodge8990]

It was ironic that she nearly cost Cheryl her life 3 months before this (hit her with Car) that she was the one who found her.

[@AlexxAlexander]

I can't believe how different the current Neighbours is. Its awful now which is a shame.

[@klarinetta]

Good old days when Neighbours were intersting.

[@greenisland75]

This brings back memories. Was it really back in 1994. Doesn't seem that long ago. I remember the scene in the hospital when Phillip Martin shouted 'no' the moment Julie passed away. Neighbours had some great characters in those days.

[@philmehrart]

Borat would've shouted "HIIIIIGH FIVE!"

[@CazBeaunont]

i have watched this from the day it started and will watch it till the end

[@markpieexplores]

Miss this sad music

[@Irishgui83]

Julie's death and the whole aftermath was very dark and disturbing to 11 year old me.

[@Leonards-leopard]

It would be good to be consoled by Helen Daniels if a bad thing had happened

[@gezzarandom]

Quite a sad scene this one although Julie was a horrible character, although apparently even the actress who played Julie couldn't stand the character and wanted out.

[@YourJellyFishAteMyTV]

such a well performed scene

[@mrraymond5807]

One of neighbours best characters Julie was very complex she was a bitch but was played very well her death was very haunting.

[@annach7914]

Neighbours sad in the later days. Julie died, Jim, Helen Daniels… legendary characters. Daphne as well… madge…

[@damodavies9273]

when Neighbours was good

[@LightLife4]

I missed the episode where she died but the only thing I could remember about her was that I just couldn't STAND HER!!!

[@joshuajoshua2732]

I liked Vikki Blanche's Julie (the original Julie) alot better.

[@TF80s]

Yeah, she was excellent but the character was written a lot better back then too.

[@Skylover1]

Both are excellent IMO, but I prefer Julie Mullins

[@TF80s]

@@Skylover1 I liked her too but I feel like the writing for the character of Julie was far superior in the first year.

[@fasbinder62]

"I'm an awful person, I'm impossible to live with, you'd all be much better off without me.." "well, yes, you've got a point there.."

[@startracker5895]

And yet they still really grieved for Julie. She wasn’t all bad. Just towards the end she had a breakdown and was unbearable to live with. They should have got her professional help. Her death was on her family for letting her down.

[@madirishgirl76]

@j4Rose no her family knew she wasn't herself they should have got her help end of instead they left her to.her own devices which resulted in her death they are to blame. U dont leave s1 you know is in trouble not help them end of

[@thomaslodge8990]

Exactly. The narrative was Philip was all innocent and Helen constantly taking his side over her own Granddaughter.. I thought Helen’s reaction to her death was strange.. almost like she didn’t care.

[@TF80s]

@@thomaslodge8990 yeah, l agree.. Helen's reaction to Julie's death was horrible. It was written & played out more like Philip was her grandson with Julie just being his crazy, overbearing wife. I was really disappointed. Also how many of Philip's wives had to go crazy & die before people in that street start getting suspicious about him? Do we know if Ruth is still alive?

[@LightLife4]

As upsetting as it probably supposed to be I just couldn't shed a tear as Julie was just my least favourite character in the series.

[@myprecious3458]

She was infinitly better than the dreadful next Mrs Martin Ruth.

[@PussnBoot2516]

+My Precious Agree. For all her faults I still liked Julie. Ruth was just stuck up and sanctimonious.

have u got the episode of julie's death

[@tonydeakin519]

No

[@BMFSTONECOLD2]

If i lived with three women permanently PMS'ing I would have killed myself first. Big Phil. What a legend for putting up with that household.

[@MrFameMonster2010]

I can't believe this was the good stuff back in the day, the acting is a bit dodgy lol but its still amazing to relive this :D Neighbours defo isn't the same now...

[@Goldenrod636]

What was the tower she was on top of for? Was it just for decoration or something or was it a look out.

[@AlexxAlexander]

@Sky7007 The fall is, but the actual death in hospital isn't on the DVD.

i remember this is the first episode of neighbours i watched as a child and loved it for years after. but the past 3 years have been boring as hell. don't watch it anymore.

[@Hulk2k6]

@Sky7007 Her fall is but not the episode where she dies in hospital.

[@lisarionukunuku4075]

what episode is this?

[@Skylover1]

3rd October 1994.

[@woohooboy]

By the time Julie was killed off, both the characters on the show as well as viewers watching the series shed few tears over her demise. That's because the writers over time had turned Julie from a loving wife and mother to a whining, self pity excuse of a woman who got on people's nerves and wore their patience out. Instead of feeling grief, everyone (audiences included) felt relief that she was gone.

[@TF80s]

I really liked Julie and was really disappointed that they killed her off..I loved her character and the two actresses that played her both did a great job.

[@woohooboy]

Tom K - I found Julie unbearable in the later stages of her time on the show. I blame that on the writers. In much the same way that Pauline became on Eastenders when she left. A woman who had become a misery to all those around her

[@amyclarke41]

woohooboy like helen rip not julie never did for me😐

[@startracker5895]

How could she block all this out? I could understand it if she was a young child but she was like 17.

[@MarkWhich]

Julie was one of the most annoying characters on the show, no wonder why many left the show not long after she arrived.

[@madirishgirl76]

How did julie die?

[@stephenmcconnell1000]

She was pissed and fell off the top of a tower during a murder mystery weekend

[@TF80s]

Her step daughter left her to die in agony after she fell off the roof. Debbie should have been thrown into jail for that but instead she got a hug from Helen.

[@stephenmcconnell1000]

@@TF80s it ain't real...

[@TF80s]

@@stephenmcconnell1000 I know that, I wasn't being serious, I'm just pointing out how bad the writing was for that storyline. Nobody even raised the point that Julie might have survived the fall if she'd gotten immediate medical attention. It was really lazy writing imo.

[@foccha]

I still don't get why Debbie didn't tell anyone after Julie fell. Did she go into some sort of panic or memory block?

[@startracker5895]

Yeah it was memory block.

[@redplague]

Was that her dad, he didn't even comfort her.

[@Bethfromwigan]

Was Julie Hannah's real mother ? I can't remember..

[@Wim2600]

Bethfromwigan - Yes she was, although it was actually impossible: Julie and Philip left in 1985, with Philip permanently paralyzed after a car crash. They then returned seven years later with an eight-year-old daughter and Philip without as much as a limp! 🤣
