Who is the one person Jo can count on in the play, A Taste of Honey?

Geof, Jo's friend, is the one person who genuinely loves her. He tolerates Jo's emotional outbursts and even tries to reunite her with her mother, but he discovers that Helen is too self-centered to ever love anyone but herself. Geof also offers Jo financial support, paying the rent, buying food, and performing domestic tasks like cleaning and cooking. Although Helen turns up repeatedly, whenever she happens to remember that she has a daughter or needs a place to go, it is Geof who is the steadying influence in Jo's life.
