Julia Walker is a fictional character on the ABC television series Brothers & Sisters. She is portrayed by Sarah Jane Morris. A regular cast member on the series for the first three seasons, Julia's storylines revolved around her and her husband Tommy (Balthazar Getty) problems surrounding their daughter Elizabeth, who was Tommy's brother Kevin (Matthew Rhys) child through a donation of sperm due to Tommy's infertility.

Introduced as the wife of Tommy Walker (Balthazar Getty), Julia and Tommy got married two years prior to the start of the series. Julia helps Tommy cope with the sudden death of his father, William (Tom Skerritt). Meanwhile, they are trying for a baby, but Tommy learns that he is infertile. Tommy asks his brother Kevin (Matthew Rhys) to give his sperm, but Kevin refuses. Tommy's younger brother, Justin (Dave Annable), offers, but Tommy is wary because of Justin's drug abuse. Finally, both Kevin and Justin donate sperm and they all agree that they will never find out who the biological father is. Julia and Tommy learn that she is pregnant with twins, but when Julia goes into labour early, she gives birth to a daughter, Elizabeth, and a son, William. William, being weak, could only survive if a transplant was taken from Elizabeth. This could have killed both children, so Julia and Tommy reluctantly chose to not have the transplant leading to William's death. In the beginning of Season 2, Julia sank into post-partum depression and blamed Tommy for William's death. Her parents visited and convinced her to take Elizabeth and stay with them. While she was gone, Tommy had an affair with his secretary at Walker Landing, Lena (Emily Rose). Julia herself had had a one-night encounter with a man, and the dual revelations led to some tension between husband and wife when Julia returned. Lena left her job, and Julia and Tommy pledged to make sure their marriage work.
