BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Anthea returns

We saw the introduction of Anthea as Mycroft's assistant in Study in Pink. I thought Lisa McAllister did a brilliant job with such a small role. I was very happy to see her return not just for Welcome Back, Mr. Holmes but also in The Empty Hearse.
Does anyone else hope to see her character have a larger role in this series?

I do!
And I hope she will have at least another scene with John.

Since Mycroft feels doomed to live in a "world of goldfish", perhaps Anthea could be a favourite goldfish.

I was delighted to see her again!

And it was funny. She had "a lot of" text.

Anthea is huge in the fan fiction world. It's great to see her back.

Oh....I was glad to see her....holding up Sherlock's favorite coat, thus making his outfit complete. I couldn't remember her name tho. She's Mycroft's "right hand" so, yeah, we should be seeing more of her.

I like her as a minor character.
