I'm just on season 2 of the series. . . when did Lynley and Helen get married??

I actually prefer the new Helen. The old one was boring, bitchy and not very loving.

I agree. I thought Lesle Vickerage was woefully miscast as Helen. Really unattractive character, incomprehensible that they would be together. Catherine Russell is much better, but the character herself, as written, is very unsympathetic.

I'm watching the series all the way through courtesty of Netflix. Helen and Lynley are just mismatched and I think Lesley Vickerage portrayed that well. The new Helen looks very jolly hockeysticks that is totally different to Lesley's portrayal of her. Just off topic I thought the one ep that Liza Tarbuck was in she was great, quite dry with a big sense of humour and I get the impression the new Helen is like that. Lynley hasn't got one! Barbara has blossomed which I'm glad to see and Sharon Small has such a lovely face I like to see her smile more. Like another poster I initially started to watch as I though Nathaniel Parker hugely handsome (superficial I know but) but the series has really grown on me and I like his and Barbara's relationship.
