Julie Mason is an estate agent asked by Jimmy King to come and inspect the Kings River development. She first appears at the Woolpack having her lunch and discusses the houses with Jack Sugden and Zak Dingle. When she mentions that the potential purchasers will be a certain standard, Jack takes offence. Later at the development site, Jack tries to get a tractor to work, but to no avail. Jimmy tries to get it to work, but accidentally pulls a lever that causes Julie to get caked in mud. Furious, she storms off.
