Gross. Good thing I don’t watch this show.

You oughta try it if you haven't. First two seasons are on Netflix. Start at the beginning (a very good place to start).

That said, one (or both) of the main actors have always pushed against the idea. It's part of Watson's persona ("He's not my boyfriend. Don't publish that!")

Also, BBC needs the main actors more than they need the BBC (or PBS) now.

Recently I reread the complete Sherlock. The notion that Sherlock and Watson were gay lover is absurd and finds no basis in Conan Doyle’s work.
