All Creatures stars reveal their hopes for James and Helen in season 6

As a movie buff with a soft spot for period dramas and a keen eye for character development, I must say that the latest season of All Creatures Great and Small has been nothing short of delightful. The reunion of James Herriot (Nicholas Ralph) and Helen Alderson (Rachel Shenton) was a breath of fresh air, especially considering the turmoil they’ve faced in their personal and professional lives.


After some thrilling weeks, the arrival of All Creatures Great and Small season 5 definitely brought about a whirlwind of transitions.

Fortunately, James Herriot (Nicholas Ralph) and Helen Alderson (Rachel Shenton) managed to reconnect sooner rather than later in the storyline, due to a bacterial infection known as brucellosis.

Following the arrival of little Jimmy, life took on a new, distinctive rhythm for us as we juggled James’s reentry into Darrowby following his RAF training, all while bracing ourselves for the impending conflict.

What lies ahead for James and Helen in the future? Fortunately, we can look forward to another installment of the cherished drama series, as it’s set to return for its sixth season. Intrigued by their potential journey, we asked actors Ralph and Shenton directly about it.

Currently, she appears as a mature individual, while they are a budding family dealing with these changes. It’d be fascinating to explore this dynamic further since James was missing from the storyline until the early part of this season.

Ralph also stated, “Absolutely, it seems to me that due to the separation and war, having been away for the initial four months of Jimmy’s life, I believe it will be beneficial for us to reestablish our family bond, our small unit, our team. It will be wonderful to spend more time together.

Since they were absent, the characters too didn’t appear, making it pleasant to witness their return.

To briefly recall the events from season 5, here’s a summary: “Helen is adapting to motherhood while James is stationed at RAF Abingdon, and Mrs. Hall and Siegfried are delighting in having a new presence around. Now, Carmody has become an integral part of their household.

As World War II intensifies, Siegfried is stepping in at the surgery, while Mrs Hall and Helen ponder how they can serve their community, and Carmody is keen to take on greater responsibilities.

Siegfried eagerly wants everyone to come back, but Tristan’s sudden appearance might not be as simple a matter as Siegfried initially thought.
