   Excellent news! She’s a great actress and I absolutely loved how her character interacted with Michael. They are perfect for each other and I can’t wait to see more scenes with them next season. I hope Amy Ryan is able to be in much more than just 5 episodes.

   This is great news :) Amy Ryan is so funny, the Kevin Holly storyline is one of my favorites. I can’t wait to see more of it.

   This is great news! I loved Amy in the finale and I cannot wait to see her and Steve in more scenes together. As much as I love Melora and don’t want to see her go, I do love the possiblity of a Michael/Holly coupling!

   I’m glad Holly is coming back and looking forward to seeing her interact with Michael again.

   Love this news! I thought she was brilliant and can’t wait to see her interact more with Kevin and Michael. I also hope they ratchet up Meredith’s bizarre animosity towards her!

    Holly is the best thing to happen to Dunder Mifflin since World War II!

    That is such great news! Holly and Michael seem like a match made in heaven — she really “gets” him and he is so mellow and cute around her. Amy Ryan will be a great addition to TO. I’m such a fan!!

    HAHA, pc, you are not alone in that.

    Anyway, I could not be more happy to hear this news. I adore Holly!

    Amy + Michael = the new JAM?

    Underneath the story, the whole crew is listed as Michael Scott. He’s so versatile!
    Love that she’s coming back, congrats!

    I thought she was also a season regular?

    I hope they are just saying ‘for five episodes minimum’ to keep us in suspense about it and also because that’s how they do these contract thingys. Ed Helms wasn’t sure he was going to be a regular for a while, and that’s (hopefully) how this is for Amy, because she RULES. lol
