The more I watch the show, the more fucking brilliant I find their relationship. This is the slowest of all the burns but it's the most compelling writing.

I have a theory that the leaking sink in 4x06 was a metaphor for both Siegfried and Audrey's agony throughout the episode. Both bleeding inside at the prospect of their looming separation. And Siegfried, with his wounded heart, was forbidding all from going anywhere near it, adamant that he could fix it himself. Undermining the disaster that it was. Pretending that it was not a big deal. That he it was not broken beyond repair. That a month's notice was enough. And the more he tried to mend it all, with increasing anger and grief, without admitting that he was failing, that he was hurting, the more the water spit in his face.

And what is so wonderful about all this, as Audrey notices, is that of course Gerald was ultimately the one to fix it. Because even though he had been a barrier between them up to that point, he was also the catalyst that forced Audrey to realise that she could not bear to leave Mr. Farnon and Helen behind. He was the healing soul who changed her life for the better by showing her what mattered most to her and that she deserved to be cherished and loved. And though she might not know yet how much she means it, she thanks him at the end.

Equally, Gerald forced Siegfried to contemplate a future without her. Shook the status quo. Changed the way Siegfried saw her. Not simply a companion who made him better but a desirable woman who was everything he needed. Without Gerald, things would have stayed the same forevermore, so comfortable were they both in their lovingly built existence. So reliant on their mutual devotion.

All that's left now is for Audrey to have her Oh... moment. Siegfried is already there. And when it finally happens, it's gonna be fucking incredible.

Jonny Lee Miller Interview from The Independent

“Oddly,” he says, “Elementary came along when I’d been sober for about six months. And honestly it was a gift.” He says his sobriety wasn’t a secret on the show’s set, and that he and the show’s creator, Robert Doherty, would collaborate on the accuracy of Sherlock’s own recovery. “Rob was so receptive to my input, and to making that story feel real. It was a real joint effort, and we were able to bring that to this f***ing cop show, which I think is amazing.”

Another amazing and very honest interview from Jonny Lee Miller - read here:
