"Out of the Two Julies, my Julie has always been the driving force in the partnership. She's always been the brains to Julie Johnston's brawn. My Julie has always been more of the talker but they both need each other to survive".

"Kika and I have had to work very closely together for over a year as the two Julies. We've developed a smoothness in our conversations, running into each others' lines and finishing each others' sentences. We take our work home with us, we do our lines over the phone together, in fact anything that will make it as believable as possible - and it does help that Kika and I get on very well as friends. It could have been more than a little tricky if we hadn't got on!"

The Julies have several sidelines, including cleaning for fellow inmates for extra cash on the inside. "They are givers and carers. They still take pride in their appearance and you'd never catch them without their hair or slap on!"

Even out of prison the two Julies live and work (on the game) together. "My Julie has a fourteen year old son, David, whom she's seeing through private boarding school, paid for out of her earnings as a prostitute. She's well sussed and sees that he is well cared for".

Victoria doesn't see any obvious similarities between her and her character "I've never been a prostitute, never been in prison, never been a thief, don't wear gold jewellery and don't wear makeup in my own time!"

"Out of work, both Kika and I are great horse riders. I've had horses since I was four years old, although currently as I live in the centre of Town I do not own one. But Kika owns two horses and we ride out together, which is great. We don't go over our lines whilst riding but we do laugh a lot - we thought it would be great to have a story-line where the two Julies go horse riding into the sunset!"
