Rupert Graves teased the Sherlock fans by saying there could be a possible love interest between Molly and Lestrade in Season 4. Graves who is currently promoting his new ABC drama series "The Family", said that he has hopes for his character's love interest towards the lovelorn lab geek.
As most of the Sherlock viewers know that Molly Hooper (Louise Brealey) was into Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) in the first season, but the feelings didn't reciprocate that much. Eventually, Hooper moved on with Sherlock in Season 3 and ended up being in a relationship with the detective.
"I think definitely Lestrade has got the hots for Molly. So maybe they'll develop that. We don't know what happens until we see the scripts, and that could literally be a couple of weeks before you film." Graves said.
Steven Moffat, showrunner of Sherlock, once talked about Lestrade's character in the series and how is the character coping with the same detective. He also talked about Lestrade's relationship with Sherlock in the upcoming season.
"He's not on the same level as Sherlock, but he's the best of that lot, and I sort of approach him like that." "We tried to make sure that he was actually wise. Lestrade absolutely gets it. He gets what Sherlock Holmes can be on a good day, and what he might be on a bad day. That's quite a key character."
Meanwhile, RadioTimes reported that Brealey shared the intimate fantasy scene of her and Sherlock in Season 1. She said that she earned thousands of new followers on Twitter congratulating her.
"It went completely crackers when the show came out," "I got 7,000 Twitter followers within five minutes of that kiss airing. It had doubled by the time the episode ended." Brealey said.
What do you think about Molly and Lestrade romance link in Season 4? Would Molly be fascinated again with Sherlock this upcoming Season? Or is she better off alone?
