Julie Porter (born 1971, age: 20-26) is Gordon Brittas's secretary and first appears in series 2, replacing Angie.
As Julie was born and raised in Rotherham, she immediately sticks out from her colleagues with her strong northern accent and fiery personality. She is an outspoken and insubordinate character who often blatantly refuses to do menial tasks that Gordon asks her to do. Whenever collective staff action against Brittas occurs, such as strikes or protests, Julie often joins in with great enthusiasm, and is often the instigator. She dislikes Brittas more than any of her colleagues (except possibly Tim), and genuinely hopes for him to be replaced by someone more capable. Gordon, however, almost never notices her animosity towards him.
She later becomes pregnant to her boyfriend, and gives birth in Colin's basement office, during a bungled night-time burglary attempt which she and Helen take part in. Julie names the child Gordon Colin Porter, in appreciation of Gordon's and Colin's efforts to deliver the baby.

“The Washington press corps thinks that Julie Nixon Eisenhower is the only member of the Nixon Administration who has any credibility—and, as one journalist put it, this is not to say that anyone believes what she is saying but simply that people believe she believes what she is saying ... it is almost as if she is the only woman in America over the age of twenty who still thinks her father is exactly what she thought he was when she was six.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“When other friendships have been forgot,
Ours will still be hot.”
