Julie and Hope share a mother – Addie. Addie was married to Ben Olson (Julie’s father) and later to Doug Williams. Addie died. She refused treatment when she was pregnant with Hope, and died shortly after Hope was born. The leukemia didn’t kill her though… Addie was taking Hope for a walk and a car went out of control and Addie pushed Hope’s stroller to safety but died when she was hit by the car.
Later, Julie and Doug married.
So Julie is Hope’s half-sister, but also her stepmother.
Only in Salem…
