Why Julia From Longmire Looks So Familiar
By Matthew Martinez
While Stacy Haiduk was already a legitimate soap opera star beforehand thanks to her significant contributions to "All My Children" and "The Young and the Restless," her meatiest soap opera role to date is on "Days of Our Lives."
Haiduk's involvement in "Days of Our Lives" dates back to 2010, at which point she joined for an altogether short stint as Prison Warden Smith. Then, in 2018, she kicked off what has become the longest-running role — technically roles — of her career when she rejoined as a character introduced in the '90s named Kristen DiMera, as well as her doppelganger Susan Banks.
This current run has placed her in a central role on "Days of Our Lives," totaling more than 380 episodes between 2018 and the present day alone. For the time being, Haiduk is still a part of the show, meaning that this sizable episode count will only continue to grow. If Haiduk looks familiar as Julia on "Longmire," then, there's a good chance even viewers with even just a passing interest in soap operas might have recognized her from her impressive and ongoing "Days of Our Lives" tenure.
