Henry's birth was a dramatic one: he was born six weeks prematurely by caesarean section after Helen developed pre-eclampsia. His arrival mended the rift between Helen and her father Tony over her choice to have a child alone.

Driven Helen soon found that the life of a single working mum became considerably easier when she and Henry moved back in with her parents at Bridge Farm.

While in a relationship with Helen, Rob Titchener was granted parental responsibility for Henry. He was thrilled to have someone he called "Daddy". Then, one night 5-year-old Henry witnessed an argument between his parents which resulted in Helen stabbing Rob. During Helen's trial he gave evidence by video link.
