I found that that was an annoying thing also about the character of Julie.
>From her character in Bad News, when she was really tough and managed to
get Lynda to shut up and do something she did not want to, I thought
"Yeah, here's the only character - apart from Spike - who can really
control Lynda!" But then - and this culminated in her being prison riot
pin-up girl in TAC - she became more of a man-eater as the show
progressed. This was kind of disappointing, because I think we'd come to
expect more from Steven Moffat. fine, maybe he wanted to make Julie as
unlike Kenny as possible, so we wouldn't think that she was merely a
female Kenny, but I think the way Julie was in Bad News was fairly
un-Kenny. I mean, the only time Kenny ever really got tough with Lynda
was in "Love and the Junior Gazette", and I bet even then he apologised to
her afterwards. Is this making any sense? (Please don't reply 'NO'!)
Well, I'm a little frazzled at the mo, so if my words are resembling
something in a blender, please forgive me! I have a law assignment due on
Friday, and that's sapped all my literary resources dry.
Ciao!
