Fans will notice a familiar face on the upcoming season of Elementary. Entertainment Weekly reports Betty Gilpin is returning for season five of the CBS series.
The actress originated the role of Fiona Helbron in season four of the detective drama, which stars Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu as Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson. The cast also includes Aidan Quinn and Jon Michael Hill.
Gilpin will return in mid-November. Season five of Elementary premieres on October 2nd.
From executive producer Rob Doherty:
We certainly owe a status report for the Sherlock/Fiona relationship. In the first few episodes there won’t be much mention of her, but we are working on a return for Betty Gilpin. Fiona is a thread that we won’t let dangle too long, especially considering how much we love Betty.”
What do you think? Do you watch Elementary? Are you glad Fiona is back?
I love the idea of a character like Fiona as a lover for Sherlock. Fiona adds a different spark to the already quirky detective. They are both unpredictable characters anyway, so the relationship makes the show even more fun.
i dont like her
