The show is phenomenal and this idea makes no sense because it would kill one of the running jokes that has been in almost all nine episodes.

They are not gay. And Watson has said that emphatically. He’s married now, so I don’t know what “fans” are asking for him and Holmes to turn gay.

Yes I do. “Fans” who have never seen the show or whose own choices of sexual expression have to be validated by TV characters making the same choices.

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.

It is a very good show.

It is some fans (questionable how many) who are supposedly asking for this plot change.

I don’t see how it would help the show at all. Even in other such shows if a heterosexual couple get together the show usually goes downhill from there. Even if the characters were gay (which they are not) the plot device of sexual tension between main characters that applies to heterosexual situations would still apply. It would ruin the show for that reason alone.

It's actually a pretty decent show. But if they go that route, I'll never watch another episode.

Actually the show is quite good, and as they said it was a running gag because Holmes and Watson lived together and went everywhere together. But just as in the books Watson gets married and Holmes is attracted to a woman. If the plot is changed to make them queer it will be too bad as I and I'm sure many others will stop watching. There is little enough actual entertainment to be found without the queers being inserted for sympathy and social engineering.
