I’m fairly certain this calls for a Hallefreakinglujah!
Greg Daniels, the big boss behind The Office, just confirmed for me exclusively the best news ever: Amy Ryan will be reprising her spectacularly popular role as Holly Flax, soul mate to Steve Carrel’s Michael.
“She will come back,” says Daniels. “We haven’t written it yet, but we’re discussing her coming back for the season finale. We’re hoping she’ll be available.”
Daniels went on to say that he’s “very open” to working out a more permanent Office arrangement with Ryan. “Because [Michael and Holly] have such a deep connection, I don’t think she can blow in and out every so often,” he explains. “It would be too hard for him as a human being. So, we’re hoping to find some very significant things for them. And if we can get her to sign on for a really long period, we’ll do it.”
And I repeat: Hallefreakinglujah!

AAAAWWWWWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
YES! I was sincerely hoping for a return. And with a six season coming, it’d be awesome to have her onboard. I’m all smiles now.
YESSSSSSSSSSS
:’)
best news ever!!!!!!!1
I believe woo to the hoo sums it up…
I loved Holly and can’t wait to have Amy Ryan back:) Best news of the week!
Excellent!!! Very good news. I LUUVV this character!
this is the greatest news ive ever heard! i mean seriously, so brilliant
Amy Ryan is the best thing to happen to The Office since Season 2.
“I don’t think she can blow in and out every so often…”
That’s What She Said
This is the best news I’ve heard in months! Amy Ryan, please come onto the cast!!!
Steve’s last name is spelled “Carell.” Just so you know.
But this is such awesome news!!!!! I’ve been dying for Holly to come back ever since she left. =D
Amy Ryan is an example of the best kind of guest casting: a deeply talented actress portraying a well-written character whose addition to the show proves both organic and enriching. Bringing her back would make up for the Office’s one MAJOR guest casting mistake: the horribly untalented Rashida Jones playing a poorly written and shoe-horned in character. More Amy? YES! Never again Rashida? DOUBLE YES!
okay today is a seriously awesome day. first “the office” and “30 rock” are renewed, then the last george bush speech ever, and then amy ryan coming back to “the office”! whooooo!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! You’ve no idea how happy I am!!!!!!

Welcome Back Holly…We missed you and so did Michael Scott.
YES!!!!! Oh Ausiello, you just made my week!
Its so amazing that the Office will now have two actors from the Wire. I have to say I;m mostly excited that Stringer Bell(well the guy that plays him) from The Wire will be on The Office! It will be interesting to see him in a comedic role
When Michael and Holly hugged at her new house, I about bawled.
Holly and Michael are SOULMATES; YAY AMY RYAN!!
I mean come on, how could she not pass up on perhaps another round of “Let’s Get Ethical!”
This is Ausiello Awesome news! I’m so excited!!!!! Whoo!!
yay! I love AMy Ryan!!!
YAY!!! Amy Ryan was terrific as Holly and made the fourth season finish with a great episode. I hope she is back to stay!!!!
Well in tonight’s episode, Michael remarked that good things happen when he leaves Scranton. Foreshadowing?
