Ben and Julie did not marry because, from an out-of-universe (behind-the-scenes) perspective, the show's creative team decided to end their relationship.
Out-of-Universe Reasons for the Breakup
The primary reasons for Ben and Julie's relationship ending, according to out-of-universe information, directly prevented any possibility of marriage.
- Creative Direction: The crew involved in the show wanted to explore different storylines and character dynamics, moving away from Ben's established romantic relationship with Julie. This desire for change was a significant factor in their decision.
- Producer Disapproval: Some producers specifically expressed dissatisfaction with how Ben and Julie's relationship was portrayed during the Alien Force and Ultimate Alien series. This sentiment contributed to the decision to dissolve the pairing in subsequent iterations of the show.
Therefore, the lack of marriage was a direct consequence of these production-level decisions to end their relationship rather than allow it to progress further. The choice was made by the show's creators and producers to move Ben's character in a different direction romantically.
