And i actually asked Derrick Wyatt about this, he said that the writers decided they had nothing left to do with her, so decided to ship him with someone new. Yes, that's a pretty bad answer, and not something i was hoping for, like "We wanted to explore Ben's character a little more, and we felt that, whilst he was with Julie, we couldn't really do that without making him seem like a really bad boyfriend. Don't worry, this isn't permenant. She will be making a comeback."

Oh well... A man can dream... It occurs to me that Julie and Ben might yet get back together, since the writers of this franchise tend to be a bit fickle with their decisions at times, even when they announce them outside the shows. Example: it was said in a pop-up trivia that no living beings worked for Vilgax due to their fear of him, but in Alien Force, it was shown that he was beloved by his people. It was once said in a pop-up trivia that Frankenstrike's race is a highly intelligent species, but now, that is said to not be the case. In a pop-up trivia, it was mentioned that the Plumbers were founded on Earth by the founding fathers, but now, that can't possibly be true.

Point is, for all we know, the writers could suddenly decide that there is more they can do with Julie as Ben's love interest (perhaps a glimpse into the future where she and Ben are raising a child?)
