Background
Rachel sabotages her at every turn, from getting Phoebe to give her a terrible haircut to stalling the couple's first night together, and Julie admits she can tell Rachel does not like her. Ross ends it after Rachel's drunken "closure" message, in a break-up she takes badly, throwing things; she is one of the two names on Ross's pros-and-cons list in "The One with the List". A few weeks later, in the credits of "The One With Russ", she meets Ross's lookalike Russ and is instantly smitten. Lauren Tom has said she thinks Julie and Russ are still together.
Julie appears from "The One Where Rachel Finds Out" to "The One With Russ", and in flashbacks later.
