EastEnders promised something big, but no one expected it to be over this fast. Julie Bates walked back into Walford after nearly thirty years. She had barely taken a breath before walking out again with Nigel beside her. It felt rushed and unfinished. And fans are not having it. Keep scrolling to know more.
EastEnders’ Julie Returned For Love, But He Didn’t Remember Her
Jay tracked her down and told her everything. She came back without a second thought and called him. But he did not react. Phil walked over and tried to fix things, but it was already gone too far.
Julie could not stay quiet. Her voice rose before she even noticed, and the street watched it all unfold. Phil handed her something to watch, and then she watched it. She did not move much. Just sat there, staring, like she was not even watching anymore.
No Julia’s Theme No Goodbye: Fans Refuse To Let Go
Phil had been there for every part of Nigel’s decline. He had handled the confusion, the outbursts, and the silence. Now he just stepped aside. Linda did not speak, as she knew exactly what Phil was letting go of. Julie walked out with Nigel beside her. There was no theme and no big goodbye. Just two people leaving quietly.
But fans were loud. One wrote, “Julie and Phil raising chickens would carry the show for another year.”
Another asked, “No Julia’s Theme? That means they are not done.”
Someone else added, “She brought warmth to this story. Why take her away so fast?”
And then came this: “That did not feel like goodbye. It felt like they would be back.”
The Square carried on, but something about that exit did not feel final. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
