Helena “H.G.” Wells, Warehouse 13

Helena “H.G.” Wells (Jaime Murray): On sci-fi fantasy series Warehouse 13, Helena “H.G.” Wells was introduced as a genius inventor and author and past Warehouse agent who helps Secret Service agents Myka and Pete in their assignment to retrieve missing supernatural artifacts and investigate reports of new ones in a mysterious warehouse in rural South Dakota.
Helena had stated on the show that “many of [her] lovers were men”, indicating that she was bisexual. In one episode, Myka revealed that Helena was dating a woman named Giselle, though it was never shown on screen. In the fourth season, Helena joined a new family with a man named Nate and his daughter, indicating that this new family life was her way of trying to fit into the world again and to find normalcy, away from the Warehouse and the world of the artifacts.
While never explicitly shown or stated on the show itself, actress Joanne Kelly addressed the Warehouse 13 panel discussion’s audience at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con to assert “Myka will always love H.G.”, and reiterated the romantic attraction between her character and Jaime Murray’s in a later interview with After Ellen, saying of the characters “we’re in love”. In the same interview she clarifies her statement by making the sexual undertones of their love for each other definitive, and that the subtext between them shown on-screen was intentional.
