Helen Green

Helen Green had an affair with Barbara Hamilton's first husband, Roland Armstrong, which led to the birth of a son, Andy, in 1963. Barbara was Helen's best friend, and so, not wanting to ruin Barbara's life by admitting to the affair, Helen disappeared - but not before telling Barbara's brother, Stephen, that the child was his (he and Helen had had an affair as well).

Twenty years later, after Dee Morrell dies and leaves her money to whoever could have given her a grandson, Stephen gets in touch with Helen and meets Andy. The truth eventually comes out about Andy's true father, and Barbara is horrified to learn about her ex-husband's infidelity. She's initially very cold towards Helen when they meet again, but she subsequently tries to make amends by inviting Helen and Andy to dinner at Dural. The stress of all her secrets coming out after so long causes Helen to start taking pills to calm her nerves. While at the dinner at Dural, she mixes her pills with alcohol and eventually decides that she needs some air. She heads out to the back of the house, and is later found dead, drowned in the Hamiltons' swimming pool. Although it is assumed to have been an accident, the suggestion is also made by the police that it could have been suicide. (Episode 367, 1984)

They started a life together, but after Brian's father is killed, his brother visits him in Australia and persuades him to return home to avenge the death.
