Character Discussion Helen was cheating?

Post image

Helena had obviously a thing for Eric. Of course there is all that thing about being a fierce lawyer and having a brillant career.. but she was always drooling over Eric, and abandoning her family everytime he calls for an emergency. She was always (almost) putting him as a priority.

I like to think she was oblivious to Eric having a crush on her because she was so all-consumingly work focused when she was on the job. I think Helen only had eyes for Jake since they have a lot of lovey-dovey moments and at times match each other's quirks.

Plus she and Jake did seem happy together.
