Why Didn't Pete and Julie ever get together?


It was obvious practically from the beginning that Pete cared for her, more than just a friend. And even though they both dated others, they always came back to each other!
And the reunion tv-movie, the only part they got right was Linc becoming a teacher. Julie married to wealth, her daughter going to riding school-AND even worse, Pete selling out to run his father's business-NO WAY! Remember the 2nd season flashback episode, where Linc got shot at the same time that Pete`s father had tricked him into joining the "family business"? When he tried to explain that Linc`s life was MORE IMPORTANT than a business meeting and Pete ended up hanging up on him?! For me, that was when he officially closed the door on that part of his life!
I think even in the reunion movie, it was apparent that Pete still had feelings for Julie! By the end, when Linc was going back to his life and Julie was going back to hers, I felt so bad because Pete had nothing to go back to and if they would've had another sequel it would've been Pete`s funeral after committing suicide!!
And I hated the remake, apparently as much as Peggy and Michael did! No offense to the actor who played Pete, but he made I look as if he had some type of mental illness!!Really bad!!
I just think that it would have been great to see them together-they had good chemistry! And just on looks and having a warm, yet COOL, personality, there's no one better than Pete Cochrane!
Thank you Michael Cole for creating such an unforgettable, beautiful character!

Julie should have hooked up with Linc!! It would have been so delicious, sweet, sexy, and forward thinking. Also, it would have literally previewed her luscious interracial relationship with Mr.Q.
