"Elementary" star Lucy Liu disclosed in a recent interview that she doesn't compare her portrayal of Dr. Watson to others, including that of Martin Freeman (BBC's "Sherlock") and Jude Law (Guy Ritchie's film "Sherlock Holmes" and its sequel "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows").

During an interview with RadioTime, Liu stated she believes that each actor brings something unique to the iconic partner of lead sleuth Sherlock Holmes.

"I don't really compare myself in that sense because there are so many brilliant actors doing their job. I think everyone is so unique so you don't really have to go out of your way to do something drastically different," Liu said, according to RadioTimes.

Liu, 46, also added, "Everyone appreciates the different iterations of the actual story of Sherlock and Watson and also the characters, too. I think that's why the literature's used so much --because there's so much color in all the characters and their dynamic together."

During the same interview, she additionally crushed speculations that her character Watson and Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) will become romantically involved. She assured the public that crime-solving will remain the team's objective. In fact, series creator and executive producer Rob Doherty introduced the character Kitty (Ophelia Lovibond) to prevent the Sherlock-Watson romance from budding on the series, which airs on Thursday nights on CBS.

The co-producer of BBC's "Sherlock," Steven Moffat, also recently shut down rumors about a possible Sherlock-Watson relationship, and he clearly confirmed that Sherlock isn't gay. The showrunner, who also is producer of "Doctor Who," also shared that a crossover between the two BBC could be in the series' future, if scheduling permits. During the same the same interview, he indicated that he expects both "Doctor Who" and "Sherlock" will be on air for years to come.

The fourth season of "Sherlock," which will premiere in early 2016, will reveal a dark and terrifying set of episodes that will divulge the fate of numerous key characters.
