To the outside world, Julian is the ruthless and immoral son of Alistair Crane. But there is also a softer side to this complicated man that only a few people have seen. Years ago, Julian followed his father's orders and entered a marriage of convenience with Ivy Winthrop even though at the time he was deeply in love with Eve. Julian and Eve even had a baby, who presumably died shortly after birth. To this day, Julian regrets leaving Eve's side and has since admitted as much to his former love.
When Julian learned that his son with Ivy, Ethan, was really Sam Bennett's son, he immediately filed for divorce from Ivy. While in Bermuda finalizing his divorce from Ivy, Julian got Ethan's fiancée, Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald, drunk...and the two wound up married! They signed annulment papers and Julian then married gold-digging social climber Rebecca Hotchkiss. However, Julian's annulment was not valid since (unbeknownst to him) Theresa was pregnant with his baby! On New Year's Eve, Julian's many enemies had enough of his evil ways...and he was shot and killed!
However, it turns out Julian was not really dead, after all. He was disguising himself as Peggy and working as a short-order cook in a diner! Julian finally made his way back to Harmony. In an effort to be free to marry Eve, Julian was able to break away from his marriage to Rebecca, but his road to reconciliation with Eve has been quite a rocky one.
At present, Julian is reeling at the fact that his long-lost son with Eve is Vincent Clarkson, the notorious Harmony blackmailer and murderer!
