Re: Guest Actors and Characters for Series 3
A lovely woman for the role of Mary Morstan, no matter who. Just someone who helps John through the darkness.

Isn't it wierd that Mary hasn't showed up by now, though? :o In the canon, she was engaged to John way before Sherlock 'died'?

Re: Guest Actors and Characters for Series 3
I know, and then she died during Sherlocks absence. Really strange, but I'm sure the producers had their reasons.

Re: Guest Actors and Characters for Series 3
Yeah, they're probably plotting something better 
At first I thought Sarah was Mary, but then of course they started calling her 'Sarah'.
Oh, and I totally agree with Maggie Smith as a guest star! That would be awesome, she's hilarious. It would be funny to have Hugh Laurie in there too, since 'House M.D.' was based on Holmes' character

Re: Guest Actors and Characters for Series 3
I would like to see the following secondary canon characters in series 3
Verner, the distant relation of Sherlock
Agatha, his 'fiancee'
Victor Trevor, his sole college mate
John Mcmurdo, his character is just thrilling, but not sure how can he be incorporated

Re: Guest Actors and Characters for Series 3
I know who I would really, really like to be in series 3 but I don't think it's going to be...because he's off to Canada to make some little movie.

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

I like that Andrew Scott was somebody nobody was aware of. And he was great, particularly because he was 1. not the typical villian an 2. an actor without a big name.
It would be nice if other "unknown" actors got a chance to play an important character and were great.

I have impossible wishes. Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, David Tennant, Matt Smith. Basically my favorite people.

Re: Guest Actors and Characters for Series 3
As any villain:
Oh god. Yes!
Though I've got to tell you I don't think I could live through see Cumberbatch and Depp in the same show at the same time. I'd probably have an or- no, I mean heart attack and die with a nasty grin on my face!

Re: Guest Actors and Characters for Series 3
Ah...my hopes are still alive because my actor has not yet left the UK for filming and is, in fact, still in London at the moment. Hope springs eternal. When I say 'my actor' that is not in any proprietary sense (unfortunately).

Re: Guest Actors and Characters for Series 3
I would love to see Richard Armitage. He can play nice guys, broody guys and bad guys
And he's very easy on the eye...

Re: Guest Actors and Characters for Series 3
I am on the Paul Bettany bandwagon! Or Eddie Izzard. He played a wonderful John Silver in Treasure Island. I would also love to see Alexander Vlahos! :-)
