Julia is Eli Goldsworthy's deceased ex-girlfriend. On April 22, 2009, she got into an argument with him, and took off on her bike. While riding, she was hit by a car, and died instantly. Eli still blamed himself for her death as of season 10, though it wasn't his fault. Julia had a step-mom who she constantly argued with, and after an argument, she would leave home and stay over at Eli's house. It has been confirmed that Julia and Eli were sexually active before she passed away. Julia is portrayed by a Russian model Sopjia OhLeary.

Hoarding[]

After Julia's unforgettable tragic death, Eli finds it hard to throw away things and starts hoarding. Clare finds out about this after Eli tells her about Julia.

Along with his room, his locker is also very messy, which Clare notices. She tries to make things better by cleaning and sorting out his locker. When he goes to school, he is shocked to find his locker organized and trash thrown away and freaks out, pushing Clare out of the way. He looks through the garbage.

Later on, Clare asks if she may spend the night at his house, which he refuses uncomfortably. Clare and Adam go to his house only to find a lock on his door, of which the combination is Julia's death date. His room is over-flowing with junk, very unorganized, and messy. Later, talking with Cece, his mother, in Morty, he admits that his life is hell and he doubts he'll ever forget her. Cece assures him that Julia would want him to be happy, and not like this. Soon, he tells Clare that whenever he threw something out, it felt as someone he loves dies or gets hurt. Clare believes he is hoarding and he admits that his mom wanted him to see a therapist. Later, Clare helps Eli throw out everything and clean up his life.

After Eli started taking medication for his bi-polar, he was shown in his room, which no longer had a lock, and was gradually getting cleaner.
