I would love to see Harry Watson, John's sister, especially as I think there is general agreement that she is Catherine Tate. That would basically be awesome, serious comic relief. Clara too, though I don't have such a strong idea of what she's like. 

I'd also really like a bit more depth to Mycroft and so I'd love to see his significant other-who I assume is male (if for no better reason than that he wears a wedding ring and its on his right hand). Clearly has has, or has had, someone in his life (I do seem to remember that a right hand ring can also mean you are a widower). It would be interesting anyway because the implication here is that there are two people in the world he cares about-not just Sherlock but the person he wears a ring for. But then there are those Christmas Eve scenes when he is completely alone in Holmes Manor. Its an unexplained complexity and it would be interesting to see how he relates to whoever else there is in his life who is important to him. 

If the ring was on the left hand I'd assume a marraige of convenience to a woman and that would be the end of it, with no real comment either way on his actual sexuality because my god he would be able to pull that off. But no, presumably he's married to a man which to me, even in the uber-tolerant Sherlock universe, does suggest he's put himself on the line, albeit perhaps slightly, to declare that he loves someone. So this person is probably pretty interesting. (and we know that his whole "caring is not an advantage" speech is spiel anyway-he following it up with giving Sherlock a low tar cigarette.")
