Most people who had lived there in 1985 when she first left had moved away. The Martin's moved into No 32 Ramsay Street. Gossipy Julie still liked interfering in the businesses of other Ramsay Street residents. Her stepson Michael Martin planned a plot to kill Julie, and started playing mind games with her, like saying she had just poured a cup of coffee at breakfast when she had not yet done so. Michael was later arrested but Hannah took the blame for him. A rift develops between Philip and Julie after she refuses to let Michael back into the house.
In April 1993, Julie's father Jim Robinson died of a heart attack. Julie was devastated. One time she was reading through her fathers old letters and was shocked to find that Jim was not her real father.

In October 1994, Philip and Julie's marriage was failing and they were both having many rows. Helen Daniels thought Julie needed help. Phil and Julie agreed to attend a murder mystery weekend but Julie was more interested in making their marriage work. However a real death occurred, that of Julie herself. Cheryl Stark found her dead on the lawn at the bottom of a tower in the hotel.
