Victor told she could come to Vienna if she took Nick's powers so she could be with Diana. She had to use hexenbeist blood to open the book.
Then you could say that Julette's hexenbeist was truly a side effect of the spell, which I'm sure that's what the writers were going for, it was just poorly written/executed, at least that one flaw was overlooked.
Now, to your question, Do I think Juliette was a doomed character from the start....Yes. It's not like Bitsie Tulloch is that bad of an actress, she played the part well, for what she had to work with. The Julette character was sort of bland, a good gf for Nick but not much more, until the hexenbeist, which spiced it up for a short while and gave them a way to kill off Julette. I had that feeling from the moment Aunt Marie warned Nick to end it with Juliette, also, I believe that it may have been a quick change of plans to kill her off in season 4. The last few episodes did feel a bit rushed in the storyline, especially the final show. I'm just guessing, but thinking that the writers may have originally wanted to kill her off in season 5, just to carry her new character a bit further, if that's true, then they may have rushed Kelly's execution as well, though I'm positive both was going to happen no matter what.
That is why in one of my posts on the subject stealing from (CSI) it was the hair they used to make Juliette Adalind. The hair contained the potion she use to get her powers back so it was like Juliette did the same ritual Adalind had used.
