I agree with you, jourdain2. The relationship is looking a bit shaky, even though Ian is trying his best to keep things on an even keel. Adam seems to be having doubts, so, wait and see, yes? But I wouldn't bet on the outcome being happy.
Does anyone else see the potential nightmare of an Ian/Helen relationship? The Adam/Ian marriage seems to be in extra time, such a shame but Ian's far too good for him.
Would there be, could there be, an Ian/Helen relationship? Couldn't the 'connection' be treated just as a business deal? 'You do this for me, as a favour to a friend? And then, goodbye'?
