Not too long ago, it was revealed that Amanda Abbington would play Mary Morsten the future flame of Watson (Martin Freeman) on BBC's hit program, Sherlock.

The actress, who's the real-life love of Freeman, admitted to The Scotsman that she felt like 'kind of a third wheel' in the bond between Watson and Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch).

Abbington elaborated on the cast members' superb chemistry to the site.

"I remember doing a scene very early on with Martin and Ben, and I was standing in between them and I thought 'I really have to up my game, this is proper."

The actress also touched on a time when she was involved in a table read with Freeman and Cumberbatch, giving them kudos while also expressing that she thinks her character won't go over too well.

"When I was at the read-through, I remember watching them, and the chemistry between them is just amazing. They do have this beautiful relationship, so getting in between that - which is what Mary does, she becomes this kind of third wheel - was scary. Also, the fans love these two together, so I'm sure Mary won't be particularly liked by them, but I hope that on the whole people really like her, because she's a great character and she has some fantastic secrets."

It's been two years since BBC's Sherlock last aired on the small screen with new episodes. No official launch date has yet to be announced for series 3.
