Hello JS and Irukandji,
The ownership of the house has been discussed quite a bit. I believe much of the discussion related to the "slumming" discussion.
The writers give no detailed financial data to confirm gross annual income and net worth of Nick and Juliette. I referenced the "Jobs Rated Almanac" data for estimates of income. I took a lot of flak, but it is the most quoted source of such data.
So, back to this thread. Irukandji makes some good points:
JS presents a plausible explanation:
Juliette knew they were through. At least she was through. IMO, it is possible the writers decided to actually kill off Hexenette in 4.22. Then money and/or contracts with Bitsie derailed the good plot that ended in the tragic death of her character Juliette. This forced the hand of the writers to concoct a plot that included Bitsie. So now we have to endure this Eve thing while the writers focus their best efforts on some yet to be announced new show. They will not be as inspired to write like the series originated.
IMO 5.06 could have been written without Eve ending with the BC closing in for the kill. Let it hang until 5.07 and major hand to hand combat concludes with the viewers rejoicing in another Scoobie victory. It is too late now. All we get is a cheap wig and a bunch of dead BC thugs.

Quote:Nick could never sell the house if it belonged to Juliette.True.
Quote:To me it comes down to very poor writing and a huge issue with Juliette's disappearance.In the flash back where they are moving in together, a comment from either like "I love you so much and I'm so happy you asked me to move into your new house" would have avoided the issue. If it was Nick's, OK. If it was Juliette's how did it pass a title search and get sold?
JS presents a plausible explanation:
Quote:So in season 1-4 the writers never said one way or the other who owned the house so we can't say just because Nick moved out Juliette owned it maybe Nick was a gentleman and remember hexen Juliette moved out not Nick.
If we look at the two times one or the other moved out in the first case Nick thought they would make it back together, in the second case Juliette knew they wouldn't make it back together. In the second case may be the best one for who owned the house.
