This deeply troubled them both, and in the end, they chose not to pursue a relationship.
Vartan role on Bates Motel
Vartan played the role of Bates Motel’s George Heldens. A divorced guy named George Heldens might have been “the one” for Norma Bates. He is the elder brother of Christine Heldens. Christine, George’s sister, threw a party when George first met Norma. Before George revealed himself as Christine’s brother, Norma had assumed that George and Christine were just friends. They became close after Christine sent George to speak with Norma.
George brought Norma out on a date with Christine’s husband, Peter. After George took Norma home and suggested that they go on a date without Christine or Peter, Norma became irritated with Peter while he was discussing the bypass that would destroy her business.
Christine got Norma to run for the municipal council with the assistance of George, a former attorney who had even assisted senators in winning elections. While he was doing this, he instructed Norma to pay more attention to herself—the “best part”—and less attention to the details about the city.
George came to see Norma and Norman when he was momentarily detained (but not arrested) and promised to use his legal knowledge to assist. Norma went to supper at George’s house. She left the house after admitting she had never attended college when he started questioning her about it. Later on, she returned. George went to Norma’s residence, where she scolded him and urged him to leave since she was stressed about Norman being kidnapped. Norma changed her mind and attempted to make up for it, but he still went ahead and did it.
