My Children. She was portrayed by actress Sydney Penny from 1993 to
1996 as a series regular, with guest appearances in 1997 and 2002, and
from 2005 to 2008. Julia's pairing with Keith Hamilton Cobb's Noah
Keefer formed one of daytime's first interracial supercouples and was
one of the most popular pairings of the 1990s.Julia came to Pine
Valley from Texas to live with her sister, Maria Santos. Soon after
her arrival, a tornado struck the Pennsylvania town and Julia was
struck by a falling chandelier that scarred her face. She ran away to
Center City and into the arms of Noah Keefer, with whom she lived and
eventually fell in love.In one notable storyline, Julia became
pregnant after being raped by Louie Greco, a drug dealer who lived
nearby, and chose to have an abortion, despite considerable opposition
from her devout Roman Catholic Mexican-American family. The
relationship between a Hispanic Mestizo Julia and the African American
Noah was also contentious in her family.When Noah learned of Louie
Greco's actions he chased him down and accidentally killed him. Noah
was found guilty of his murder and the two escaped to Jamaica; Noah
was eventually exonerated of the crime. After this ordeal the two
eventually married, but two thugs who were after Noah's aunt Grace
tried to end Julia's life. Julia then witnessed the attempted murder
of Noah's sister Belinda and when she testified against her
sister-in-law's attacker she had no other choice but to enter the
witness protection program with Noah. The two quickly left Pine Valley
in 1996 for somewhere in Northern California.
