T2 WHATS UP! April 29 - May 5, 2018 BY KYLA BREWER TV Media D etectives are a dime a dozen in prime time, but one crime- solving sleuth is worth his weight in gold. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic Sherlock Holmes has been rei- magined for a new generation of fans and he's returning to the airwaves — finally. Jonny Lee Miller ("Trainspotting," 1996) repris- es his role as a modern-day Sherlock in the sixth-season premiere of "Elementary," air- ing Monday, April 30, on CBS. It's been a longer-than-usual wait for fans of the series, which co-stars Lucy Liu ("Ally McBeal") as Sherlock's part- ner, Dr. Joan Watson. "Elemen- tary" was noticeably absent from the CBS fall schedule, and it wasn't until January, when the season premiere was officially announced, that fans could breathe a collective sigh of relief. Few details have been an- nounced for the new season, but at the summer CBS press tour, creator and executive producer Robert Doherty hinted that the upcoming sea- son may feature the return of someone from Sherlock's past. "With respect to Sherlock, we're working hard to see an old flame come back to the show," Doherty said. Industry pundits have spec- ulated that that flame could be Moriarty, played by Natalie Dormer ("Game of Thrones"), but so far the show's cast and crew have remained mum on the subject. As for now, fans can be assured that both Mill- er and Liu will return to their roles as Sherlock and his side- kick, Watson, who was hired as Holmes' sober companion after the brilliant Scotland Yard consultant's stint in re- hab. They may be back, but it'll be anything but smooth sailing for prime time's dynamic duo. At the end of last season, Wat- son put everything on the line and made a proverbial deal with the devil when she ap- proached nefarious thug Julio "Halcon" Zelaya (Jon Huertas, "This Is Us") to help her bring a killer to justice. While she seems to believe her debt to the gangster has been repaid, it may not be that simple. "Halcon may not see it the way Joan sees it," Doherty teased in a June interview with Entertainment Weekly. "He may think she owes him a favor, not the other way around. Gang leaders are fun- ny that way." While Halcon may cause some trouble for Watson, he may not be the only character to shake things up this season. In July, it was announced that Desmond Harrington ("Dex- ter") would join the cast as Michael, a fellow recovering addict who offers support to Sherlock in his time of need. Fans may remember that the sleuth has been experiencing memory lapses and hallucina- tions involving a mysterious woman, and his health prob- lems have put a strain on his relationship with Watson be- cause he doesn't want to bur- den her. As a result, he's forced to look elsewhere for support. Michael claims to want to help Sherlock because he was inspired to get sober thanks to something Sherlock Lucy Liu and Jonny Lee Miller as seen in "Elementary" Dynamic duo continued on page T10 TV FEATURE B/Health Initiatives Research 2 x 5 Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease?
