Dracula viewers go wild as Sherlock star Jonathan Aris makes a welcome return... and show's shock plot twist leads them to predict a CROSSOVER between the vampire and detective
Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat's take on Dracula featured a welcome return for Sherlock star Jonathan Aris.
The actor, 48, appeared as Captain Sokolov in the Bram Stoker adaptation's second episode Blood Vessel, which aired on Thursday.
Fans were ecstatic to see Jonathan collaborating with the show's co-creators, as they joked about the gothic horror having a Sherlock crossover thanks to the episode's plot twist ending.

The episode saw the blood-sucking count embark on a voyage to England on the Russian ship, The Demeter, where he decides to start dining on the passengers.
In an intense game of cat-and-mouse, the vampire's fellow travellers try their best to figure out who is picking them off one-by-one.
Sister Agatha Van Helsing, who tried to thwart Dracula in the first episode, is also seen playing chess against the count in an empty room before it's revealed she is in fact on the ship, and he has been draining her of her blood the whole time.
It's Anderson! The actor, 48, appeared as Captain Sokolov, who mans the Russian ship, The Demeter, on its voyage to England, which Dracula is aboard
Jonathan's character appears in the opening scenes of the episode, where he wakes up to find a severed hand coming towards him before it's revealed to be a dream.
Taking to Twitter to reference this, one viewer quoted a classic Sherlock phrase by saying: 'Anderson, don't dream out loud, you're lowering the IQ of the boat.'
While another joked of the character's heroic deeds in the episode: 'Anderson finally made himself useful!'
One added: 'Oh Captain Anderson I was expecting you to be such a b****** and you were a good man'
Excited: Fans took to Twitter to share their delight that Jonathan made an appearance
This wasn't the only Sherlock reference that appeared in the episode, as Dr. John Watson was referenced to when passenger Grand Duchess Valeria (Catherine Schell) told Dracula of her plan to meet with a famous English writer.
While in the show's first episode, The Rules Of The Beast, Sister Agatha claimed she had a 'detective acquaintance in London' who helped her find Jonathan Harker after he was captured by the vampire.
The biggest surprise came at the end of the second instalment though, as Dracula was seen walking through the ocean to arrive at England, only to discover it was the modern day.
Sister Agatha also made an appearance, as she arrived with a large police force and apprehended the Count the minute he arrived on British soil.

As a result, fans predicted a crossover between Sherlock and Dracula as they suggested the iconic detective would make an appearance in due course.
One joked: 'Well you know what this means don't you? Sherlock Vs Dracula! lol'
While another wrote: 'I mean they hinted at Sherlock stuff, but this could be the crossover no one expected!!'
Sharing their thoughts on a surprise appearance from Benedict Cumberbatch, one viewer said: 'C'mon, hands up, who thought Sherlock was going to step out of that car?'
Another claimed: 'Well that ending went off at a tangent. It was almost as if it was all seen from Sherlock's point of view in his Mind Palace. He must be just out of frame sat in a plane. Even Anderson was in it.'

Some viewers were delighted that the story had been brought to the modern day, as one said: 'The twist at the end of the second episode of #Dracula?! Fan(g)tastic. Couldn't have predicted that in a million years. Maybe Sherlock will be in this after all.'
While another viewer reiterated: 'Ooh the writers have only gone and done a reverse Sherlock twist at the end there. Fangs for that!'
But it was not to everyone's taste, as another fan wrote in dismay: 'I just got through saying how much I endjoyed that Moffat and Gatiss kept #Dracula period, unlike #Sherlock and #Jekyll... well s***'
Dracula concludes on January 3, 2020, on BBC One at 9pm.
