Julie's character, Connie, was revealed as a murderer
While her character, Connie Vinski, was initially introduced as a busybody, her relevance to the plot escalated when she was revealed to be Li Shin's murderer.
In a July 25 interview with Soap She Knows, Julie shared her pleasant surprise by this development, which she got hints of when she got updated on the episode count of her character.
She mentioned that she began suspecting something was up when her tenure was increased to nine episodes. She finally found out about the reveal when she read the last scene of the script she was sent.
This plot twist was foreshadowed within the soap itself, as Connie had previously disclosed to Li that she was a true crime buff.
Murder is not unfamiliar territory for Julie
Julie herself has spearheaded a true crime podcast titled True Texas Crime: The Significant Life of Angela Stevens, which covered a real-life murder that occurred in her hometown.
The murder victim, Angela Stevens, was 16 years old when she was lethally assaulted by three men, and her body was discovered in an empty field.
According to Julie, this case was so obscure for a while that there wasn't even that much information available on a Google search. But she's now working with Angela Stevens's surviving family to make her tragic story known.
Whether she's playing a fictional murderer or doing a podcast about a real one, Julie Dove continues to have a multifaceted career. Days of Our Lives is currently streaming on Peacock.
