This morning, I had a really fun interview with Amy Ryan, who's taking a little time off after a busy couple of years. During the conversation, which mostly revolved around her fantastic guest turn on The Office as Michael Scott's soulmate Holly Flax, I had to ask her the question most Office fans have been wondering about since the season finale: Is she coming back?Your guess is as good as hers. "They keep that (the plans for Holly) under wraps, if they are indeed thinking of it. There's no plan there." When I asked her if she was under contract for any episodes next season, she said she wasn't.
What is she hoping Greg Daniels and company do with Holly in the coming years? "The viewer in me, the fan of the show, hopes that they (Michael and Holly) get together. The actor in me would love to see that there's still conflict along the way. That's where it's fun."
I'll have the complete interview with Ryan next week.

She needs to be a series regular ASAP. You hit it on the head when you said Holly is Michael's soul mate.

Andrew, completely agree. She NEEDS to be a regular asap. The comedy between the 2 is gold when they're together. I find it a bit ridiculous that she's not in contact with them and they haven't discussed the characters future with her.

Definitely. When they had her move away, I was shocked. I thought she was one of the best additions to the show in a long time and still is one of my favorite characters. I feel like she adds a lot to Michael.

In my opinion "The Office" should be one of the cancelled shows... I cannot believe that NBC cancelled "Medium" and leaves this ridiculous show on the air...
