To this day I believe they were destroyed and Julian was destroyed because it made a certain character the EP loves look bad and outshined his pairing. I'm not blaming the actors/actor, just the EP. We pretty much know he's recently done something similar with others who outshined his favs.

CM's burner?

I'm still mad they ruined them and Julian and Alexis, and I think both of those had to do with the trio and their feelings.

I've been saying for years that he sabotages fan favorite pairings/characters that outshine the pairings of his favs.
