Helen Wray (New Tricks)

Helen Wray (Sandy McDade) is a hidden villainess from New Tricks' ninth season finale, "Glasgow UCOS" (airdate 29 October 2012). She is the Head of Social Services in Glasgow, where Gerry Standing and Steve McAndrew went to investigate the murder of bookmaker James Soufar, which occurred in 1993.
Gerry and Steve's encounter with Helen ended with the pair being allowed access to Soufar's care records, as well as those belonging to Cathy Sinclair, who was left £15,000 by Soufar. The investigation's progression revealed that four girls had disappeared from care in a two month span before Soufar's death, leading to the pair meeting Helen a second time, as Helen didn't mention the disappearances. Helen gave the insinuation that Soufar may have been responsible for the missing women, but it was later revealed that the missing girls were part of a sex ring, which was run by Helen.
As it turned out, the evil Helen solicited the four girls--Sally Carmichael, Gemma O'Neill, Fionnula McCalliog and Moira Biggar--as escorts, with Ogilvy being one of many customers who frequented the ring and fancied Gemma. after Gerry and Steve left, Helen was heard phoning Ogilvy and informing him that UCOS visited them and mentioned Cathy Sinclair--adding that Ogilvy was fond of her and paid the least. Gerry and Steve went to Helen again to find out who she had called, with Steve realizing that the number on the phone was Ogilvy's, marking her reveal. Ogilvy committed suicide following his encounter with the pair, and it can be assumed that Helen was arrested (off-screen) following her reveal, though she was cleared in Soutar's murder..
