Right. Susan and Julie were after the same man and Susan hired Doug to romance Julie. They had an on again/off again affair for years and during one of their off times for some reason he married Addie which caused a wedge between Julie and Addie. The thing was Doug really came to love Addie before she died.
Julie and Doug were the typical soap couple back then, so many obsticles in the way of them getting together and having their happyily ever after. Most of the time it was their own stubbornes that kept them apart like the time a stove exploded in Julie’s face and she was burned and scarred. She felt she wasn’t good enough for Doug so she kept him away. You knew it was a misunderstanding and she really wanted him but it took like forever for them to finally get together and when they did, WOW. One of the greatest romances and best couples in daytime.
