Helen is a really interesting and complex character and in some ways I can understand why people can be taken in by her but ultimately she's just not a good person. She obviously has a vicious and horrible streak in her personality but she's much more than just nasty. She's immature ,not very intelligent and entitled (as proven by her reaction to the twist last night and her general behaviour over the past six weeks.)
The reason why people get taken in by her is because she will have moments where you see a nicer side, or a more vulnerable and sensitive side. You have to remember that this is just another way of her getting away with her behaviour. For example when she 'comforted' Christopher in the morgue she used it as leverage over him when he didn't invite her to the party and she completely ignored the fact that her behaviour from the beginning had been appalling and there was good reason why others would be more deserving. Ultimately no matter how many of these 'moments' she has she will always be someone who only has the ability to use bitching/moaning/intimidation to get her way. If she wasn't a bully Helen would be nowhere in life!
I understand she may have had a difficult life and she may have grown up in an environment where everyone is as brutal as she is but Helen's real problem is the fact that she doesn't care about how her actions affect others.
It's easy to have nice moments for the sake of being nice but the ability to put others before yourself and to consider how your actions affect others and to take responsibility for those actions is much more difficult, and this is where Helen utterly fails!!
