Just addressing some of the plot points, with some spoilers from Comic Con:

FYI, the writers and producers, who I don't think would outright lie, have flat-out said that Juliette is completely dead, and there is no way that she's still alive. She is, "formaldehyde dead." "All the blood has been removed from your body, dead." Which is good, btw... not from a standpoint of wanting her dead, but from a standpoint of not wanting her death cheapened by some contrived way to bring her back.

Regarding Kelly: First of all, as I'm sure others have mentioned, the actress already has a full-time job lined up elsewhere. I suppose it is possible that Diana faked her death (although I prefer to think that the woman who said she wanted Diana to have as "normal" a childhood as possible, did not raise her to believe that she was responsible for fighting adult battles, because you don't do that to a child). It is a possibility, but unlikely given the actress's preoccupation elsewhere. Plus, it would completely undo the upcoming character evolution for Nick, which I'm sure is coming and which is far more important to the story, than any side character being saved.

The one thing I know for sure, is that Kelly was not working with Trubel. Or if she was, then there's an obvious plot hole: when could Trubel have ever met Kelly? Kelly was in deep hiding with Diana since before Trubel even knew what a Grimm was. They didn't meet through Nick. There's no way they could have met, let alone started working together.
