Btw thinking about it, I wonder if the M Holmes as Sherlock's father is a reimagined Mycroft who is written and usually portrayed as his elder brother. Not sure if he was ever named in the series, not picked up on it if they had.
Yeah, in the originals their relationship was basically "Hmm, she outsmarted me the one time we met. Clever girl."
They've never mentioned Mycroft/Lestrade/Mrs. Hudson, and I doubt they'll bring in Mary Morstan.
