Saying what she did to Mark about Christopher wasn't loyalty. It was vicious insensitivity and pay back to Christopher for daring to stand up to her. Mark's feelings didn't even register with her. It was revenge on Christopher at her 'friend' Mark's expense. Full stop.
She's a spiteful bitch.

I think that you are missing the point jet....Helen has never liked Christopher ...or thought that he was good enough for her friend 'Mark'...And even though she doesn't know that Mark is only pretending to be her friend for convenience , she thinks he is, and will try to protect him from someone that in her eyes is not good enough for him! ...Helen is a misunderstood Gobby-Monster! ...and beneath all of the front and bluster, is a good friend!
