I prefer Lynda as Helen

Catch up again with ACGAS, I didn't watch after season 3, not sure why but watching from Season 4 now and I like Lynda as Helen. I'm very sorry to hear of her passing especially as I had a similar problem but was nipped in the bud very quickly. Lynda to me was how I envisaged how Helen would look like and I do not think her cold or snippy as someone mentions but quite the opposite. If anyone is snippy in Season 4 it's James.

I'm a fan of the first Helen but have read the second was a corrective casting move. There were three years between S3&4 and casting went on with the principals at hand. I was mystified by the radical casting change when first viewing the series in the 80s. I can't read these days and never got to the beloved books so I appreciate your assessment.
