All Creatures Great and Small’s Helen star shares hopes for season 4

'All Creatures' cast on speaking to relatives of their characters

Rachel Shenton, who plays Helen Herriot in Channel 5’s series All Creatures Great and Small, has revealed her hopes for season four.

The actress commented on her relationship with husband James (played by Nicholas Ralph) and whether Tristan (played by Callum Woodhouse) will be missed as he leaves to fight in the war, while in conversation with PBS’ MASTERPIECE Studio podcast.

“Series four of All Creatures is looming and hopefully won’t feature Helen sitting on the stairs crying over and over again,” the interviewer established.

Rachel replied: “Hopefully not.”

She was then asked: “What do you hope is in the cards for James and Helen?”

“Oh, what do I hope?” Rachel replied. “I don’t know, really. It’s quite exciting, isn’t it?

“I hope there’s more fun to be had but I’m also aware that we are in the time that we are, World War II is very real.

“But I still hope that their relationship can keep deepening and they can keep becoming more.”

She continued: “What I saw this season, which I think was lovely and I’d like to see more of, is that we saw them transition from the kind of gooey newlyweds that are stealing kisses when Richard Alderson’s not looking, to a team that sticks together and are there for each other.

“And it was more grounded and real and then that was really lovely to both play and read, so I’d like to see more of that. I hope there’s more of that.”

It could be possible that James will follow his close friend Tristan into the war in the upcoming episodes, with Rachel touching upon Tristan’s future on the show.

With Tristan going to war, the interviewer asked: “His scene on the train at the end of the Christmas episode had a sense of finality for now. Might Skeldale House be a little emptier when we pick back up in series four?”

“Yeah, I mean, I don’t know,” Rachel answered. “I’ve obviously not read anything yet but for sure, with Tristan away at war there’s going to be a fun-sized hole missing – he brings the fun, he brings the laughter, he’s a cheeky chappy. He’s certainly going to be missed around Skeldale.”

She continued: “I wonder who’s going to be rubbing Siegfried up the wrong way. I don’t know. It might just be a bit boring without him but I’m looking forward to reading what’s in store.

“It’s just as exciting for us to get the scripts, it really is.”

Hopefully, fans won’t have too long to wait until the show returns, as filming started this spring.

All Creatures Great and Small is available to watch on My5.
