    During an interview with Esquire Murphy said, “We were just reeling throughout the whole thing. She was a dear, dear pal and she was the beating heart of the show. So it felt very strange being on set without her. The difficult thing to comprehend is that, if it was not for Covid-19, there would be a whole other version of this show with Helen in it. But she was so private and so f***ing brave and courageous.”

    Cillian continued, “She was inspirational. People throw that word around, but she genuinely was. Her values, the way she dealt with her kids and Damian. She cared about everyone. She was really funny and really cool. Helen had this real warmth. It is just I still can not believe she is not here. It does not make sense.”
