Yahoo spoke to actress Maura Tierney, who plays Helen Solloway in the television series. She was able to give some details regarding how the third season will start. Tierney stated that three years have passed after the events that occurred in season two and the main characters have already gone their separate ways.

Tierney mentions her character in the interview: "She's with Vic, Dr. Ullah [Omar Metwally]. They have an interesting relationship that is clear, but unclear at the beginning of the season. Everyone has moved on in a way. All of the characters are in a different place."

Helen's ex-husband, Noah, has also found another romantic interest. However, Tierney said that her character is still having a hard time controlling her emotions for Noah. In a way, Helen still loves him, but it is turning into an obsession since she still wants him back.
