I'd want him to come back if it was as Michael Bluth. That AD movie is going to take forever
Jack ShepardJim Halpert did quickly become the leader once he found is place in the company. He andSawyerRoy did fight overKatePam for a while....
I thought it was cancelled.
Also, I'm open-minded enough to give The Office a chance if Michael leaves.
I think the script is still being worked on. David Cross said that he doesn't think it'll ever be made. As much as I love Tobias, Cross is a *****e.
I want it to end.
I want Creed to become the newprotector of the islandmanager and Darrel becomes Creed'snumber twoassistant to the regional manager.
Dont be absurd. Clearly "Creed" is simply a fake look-alike version of the real Creed Bratton, who died years ago ("Creed" has confirmed this himself). "Creed" is just trying to leavethe islandScranton, and will kill any of the remainingcandidatescoworkers to do it.
Unfortunately for "Creed", Ed Truck is the only name that has been crossed off of hiscave wallblog.

Michael's exit will be due to his taking a bomb to the stomach to protect his friends and coworkers. Not really sure how to change that one....
UNEXPECTED RANDOM CHARACTER DEATH ALERT!!! Andy and Erin both drown when the fire sprinklers unexpectedly fill thesubmarinebuilding with water. Erin gets trapped under a filing cabinet and Andy wont leave her.
Id love to see Rainn Wilson in that position, says coexecutive producer/costar Mindy Kaling, who snagged a much-deserved Emmy nomination for co-writing last seasons four-star Jim/Pam wedding episode. Dwight has become so nuanced you actually care about him now. I think if [we did a good job laying the groundwork] this coming season, he would be a fantastic boss.
But thats my dream, she adds. It certainly hasnt been approved by people that are more powerful than me and who make those kinds of decisions.
Kaling says shes always been a promote from within kind of gal as opposed to trying to throw in an element of the show that people dont know. Its like the stand-up [expression]: The audience doesnt want someone whose hand they havent sniffed.
Of course, in Kalings perfect world Carell wouldnt be going anywhere. (Carell recently confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that hell be moving on when his contract expires at the end of next season.) Were still infatuated with Steve and love him so much that were hoping for some 11th hour like, I really do like this schedule and I like craft services here, so I dont want to go. But Im going to take him at face value and [assume] hes not being coy and that he really wants to [leave].
With this being Steve Carell's last season on "The Office," the show couldn't very well get away with not bringing back Michael Scott's true love, Holly Flax.
NBC confirmed on Thursday (July 15) that Amy Ryan will return this season as Holly -- and writer/executive producer/cast member Paul Lieberstein says she'll be making much more than just a token appearance.
Lieberstein tells Zap2it that Ryan will appear in a whopping eight episodes. That's right: you'll get to see the Holly-Michael magic for a full third of the season.
[BLACKOUT]
Read on for more from Lieberstein about Holly's return, Andy's Scranton stage debut, Dwight Schrute, landlord and more (spoilers ahoy!).
The groundwork for Holly's return was laid inlast season's finale, when Michael asked Sabre CEO Jo (Kathy Bates) if she could bring Holly back. The show was preparing for it behind the scenes as well; Lieberstein says the producers were already talking to Ryan when they were writing the finale.
Season 7 will find Jo making good on her promise to Michael, but "Holly is not happy at all about coming back to Scranton." She's built a pretty good life with boyfriend A.J. (Rob Huebel -- Lieberstein isn't sure yet if he'll return as well) and doesn't want to leave it.
As for Michael's departure from Dunder Mifflin, Lieberstein says he doesn't want Carell to leave the show, but at the same time he thinks it presents a chance for "The Office" to refresh itself. "To actually get to write someone out who's a main character, it's a cool opportunity. Not that I want Steve to leave, but in the long run" it could benefit the series, he says.
"No one wants to see him go. We still hope he changes his mind," Lieberstein says of Carell. "But we are forced to imagine 'The Office' without him."
Lieberstein also teased a few stories from the first half of the season. Among them:
- Dwight's (Rainn Wilson) efforts to buy the building that houses Dunder Mifflin were successful, which Lieberstein says will result in the salesman/beet farmer becoming overworked and open up new avenues for Jim (John Krasinski) to pull pranks.
- Bates will return as Jo in the season premiere, but she's also starring in NBC's midseason series "Harry's Law," so Lieberstein isn't sure if she'll be able to do more than that.
- Jo's son (who hasn't been cast yet) will come to Dunder Mifflin as part of a series of "low-level" jobs he's doing at various units of Sabre.
- Andy (Ed Helms) will perform in a community theater production. "We think it will be 'Sweeney Todd,'" Lieberstein says.
- We'll let Lieberstein describe the last one himself: "Michael gets a cold sore, and he finds out that's [a form of] herpes, so he feels the need to call every woman he's ever been with and inform them."
[/BLACKOUT]
"The Office" season premiere is scheduled for Sept. 23.
The last spoiler sounds like it will be hilarious. I want to hear Carol and Jan on the phone!
Am I the only one who imagines Paul Lieberstein in his Toby voice when he does these interviews?
what does that mean?Last thing we need from the Office is for the show to end up like Scrubs.
what does that mean?
