Eric won't speak to her for a year afterward. It will be the best year of her career."



An internal character bio for the production crew was produced, and can be seen briefly in the "Cast Interview" feature on the DVD. It mentions several thoughts about the character that were dialed down in the show or not used at all, such as Helen getting a prestigious "big firm" job right out of law school, taking a bare minimum maternity leave, and doing a lot of work in the local community & believing that "should exempt her neighbourhood from having to put up with the half-way house".

In Eichler's interview, he said Rita had been the eldest: "In boomer families where the children came of age in the late '60s/early '70s, it was very common for the oldest child to get swept up in the social changes of the time, even maybe losing their footing a bit... It was also common (but of course not universal) for the second child, having seen the travail of the oldest, to react by going pretty far in the other direction, opting for structure, et cetera." However, this is contradicted by the show, which does refer to Helen as being ordered as a child but also shows she was very much swept up in the hippy lifestyle as a student.
