There's a thread that was started around that time that has several interview links, it might be there. But even if you find it, I don't recall anything Greenwalt said that's going to change your mind. G & K have always insisted Juliette is dead.
...which is complete and utter B.S. Juliette was never "dead." She was tranquilized, incarcerated, beaten to a pulp, and indoctrinated to serve an incredibly shady organization, but she wasn't actually killed. The fact they clearly expected the fans to swallow this cheap gimmick hook, line and sinker smacks of shallow cleverness and audience condescension.
I could buy the idea of Juliette hiding behind the Eve persona as a means of denying her guilt, but for G&K to force the other characters to meekly accept this development, especially taking into account what Juliette DID in S4, was insulting as hell. I still get angry if I think about it for too long.
I once tweeted one of the other writers about Eve. I asked if they were really expecting us to "get over" all of Juliette's monstrous actions, which is what Eve basically said to Nick in the episode A REPTILE DYSFUNCTION. This was their reply:
I think that pretty much says everything.

Maybe for the moment, but the last couple of minutes in "The Beginning of the End" indicated Juliette was beginning to re-emerge. Let's hope the writers don't suddenly drop that subplot like they've dropped other subplots in the past.
