"Elementary" Taps Betty Gilpin as Sherlock's Love Interest
by Natalie Abrams
12/31/15

Is Sherlock Holmes getting a little lovin’ in the new year?

EW has learned exclusively that Betty Gilpin has landed an arc on "Elementary" as a potential love interest for the dogged detective — and we have the first look!

The "Nurse Jackie" star will play Fiona Helbron, a brilliant and socially awkward software engineer, who meets Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) and Joan (Lucy Liu) during a murder investigation.

Fiona describes herself as “neuro-atypical,” though others might identify her as a high-functioning autistic. She has a hard time reading people, rigidly adheres to rules, and can’t lie.

Unsurprisingly, Fiona also has a lot in common with Sherlock — both are odd but gifted people navigating life on their own terms; kindred spirits who find themselves drawn to each other.

Gilpin will first appear in the episode slated for Jan. 21, and will return in at least one other episode.

Betty Gilpin To Return in "Elementary" Season 5
by Natalie Abrams
9/16/16

Betty Gilpin has booked a return trip to "Elementary" in season 5, EW has learned exclusively.

Gilpin first appeared on the CBS drama in season 4 as Fiona Helbron, a brilliant and socially awkward software engineer, who met Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) and Joan (Lucy Liu) during a murder investigation. Fiona ultimately struck up a relationship with Sherlock.

“We certainly owe a status report for the Sherlock/Fiona relationship,” EP Rob Doherty recently told EW. “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.”

Gilpin will be back for at least one episode, which is slated for mid-November.

"Elementary" returns Sunday, Oct. 2 at 10 p.. ET on CBS.
