== Series 5 ==
As a newly qualified teacher, Helen is thrown in at the deep end on her first day at Waterloo Road. Not much older than the pupils, she finds it difficult to assert her authority. Appalled by the lack of respect and rules, Helen causes friction during class when it appears she is favouring the newly arrived John Fosters pupils over the Waterloo Road ones, an act that does not go down well with bully [[Michaela White]]. When Michaela and fellow newcomer [[Lindsey James]] come to blows, Helen is visibly incapable of handling the situation. She is later criticized by [[Tom Clarkson]] for her lack of progression and is given a warning by [[Rachel Mason]]. On discovering a vicious note left on the back of the door after one of her classes later in the day, Helen becomes more and more disturbed by the prospect of working at Waterloo Road and falls down the stairs. When questioned in the ambulance about the accident by [[Max Tyler]], she denies falling and claims she had been pushed by Michaela, and demands action be taken to sort out the school. As Tom and Rachel before, Max questions Helen's capabilities as a teacher but is quickly forced to re-think when Helen reassures him she can prove how “special” she once was to him.
