Sherlock is showing John the apartment they could share the rent on but John is dupious.
"A place like this must be expensive."
"Not really. I know the landlady, Mrs. Hudson. She owes me a favor. A few years back, her husband was sentenced to death in Florida. I was able to help out."
"You stopped her husband from being executed?
Sherlock Holmes: Oh, no, I ensured it." —
from "A Study in Pink"
She seems devoted to Sherlock.
When Mycroft crossly tells her to 'shut-up' both Sherlock and John call him on it and force him to apologize.
When she is attacked by armed men who want something Sherlock has, Sherlock punishes their leader by dropping him out a window. But she had the phone they were looking for all the time, and, though terribly frightened, she never let on she had it. When John suggests that she go to a relative for safety after the attack, Sherlock says England would fall if she left Baker St.
When John moved out after Sherlock's "death" he doesn't call her and she is hurt.
She is their landlady and not their housekeeper although she ends up doing some housekeeping, finding weird things around like a plastic ziplock type bag with thumbs.
She is one of the people Moriarty threatens in order to get Sherlock to jump to his death.
Mrs. Hudson never spoke in the Arthur Conan Doyle stories. She did, however, risk her life to help Sherlock (in "The Empty House", she moved the manikin that gave Colonel Moran a target to shoot at if the shape moved now and then so that they got the impression Holmes was a real target).
According to the Master Blackmailer, her full name is Martha Louise Hudson (nee Sissons), she is a semi-reformed alcoholic and has 21% debt. Both he and Sherlock know she did some exotic dancing and she thinks there is video on YouTube. She was a typist in her husband's drug cartel in Florida.
