Erin has become my favourite character in The Office. It’s sort of tragic how they keep putting hints about how hard her life has been in deleted scenes. In ‘Niagara’, she said she was born at five months and almost died. In ‘Koi Pond’, it turned out she was an orphan. And now she has seizures. Poor thing. Hang in there, cutie.

Erin will always be better than that snotty Pam. Why are Pam and Jim so mean?

I just love how everyone hates erin and how she is struggling to fit in, don’t get me wrong, I lover her and everything, it just gives the minor characters a chance to be all hateful towards her, thus netting old school awkwardness

I thought Creed had a car. Remember his disco ball/rearview mirror?

@52 Sara

I agree, plus, Erin was telling her that she ruined her painting. So, she not only interrupted Pam’s honeymoon she also put a damper on it by telling Pam bumming news.

Don’t get me wrong I like Erin and feel bad for her, but she is in the wrong in this situation.

#51, Faith, I sort of disagree. Pam was rude , but I can’t blame her too much. Her co-workers kept calling about stupid and insignificant things. She and Jim shouldn’t be bothered on their honeymoon unless it’s an emergency. True she probably should’ve been nicer, but she’s only human. IMO, she’s still a very sweet person over all.

I understand now why they didn’t put it in. No one wants to see Erin be bullied. And clearly she doesn’t deserve to be bullied. She is too cute! Pam was so rude the whole episode. It’s like, she goes to New York for three months, and never again will she be the sweet, innocent Pam from season 2! I wish Erin would get more screen time :/

These deleted scenes feel like webisodes to me. They are very separate from the episode, have one singular plot conflict, and highlight a single character. I think these are great!

I’m pretty sure all deleted scenes are included in the mythology of the show(Tanster would know for sure.) So, in the writer’s minds, it happened and any fallout could be included in a future episode.

I’d be very surprised to find Kelly’s rainbow and sun missing from the painting in subsequent episodes…if Erin ever gets the nerve to put it back.

[from tanster: do deleted scenes count?]

I like how we only see little parts of Erin but the more we learn of her background, all of this weird, over-the-top information comes to light. It’s like she was a female (and much younger) version of Creed.

From the past two deleted scenes, we’ve learned that she has a seizure necklace, and was born after 5 months and couldn’t eat solid food until 6 years old.

Oh, Erin is so adorable! I wish she didn’t have all of her scenes cut out. Have any of her talking heads made it into the episodes? And I love that it ends with “It’s a date!” Too funny.

aw poor erin! she’s so sweet, i don’t understand how everyone hates her

#44, I agree!

Kelly made Erin give up her seizure necklace? This is too heartbreakingly hilarious, like old school Office. Seriously WHY did they cut all this Erin stuff? The episode would have been 100 times better.

I love you Erin! If I was there I would be friends with you!

I think Erin needs some mentoring from Pam on how to be more assertive. Imagine the reaction from Kelly if Erin became friends with Pam.

I went back and looked at the episode again, when Michael’s telling Erin to get him coffee, you can see the “being cleaned” sign in the picture frame for half a second, so this storyline is actually being included.

I love how Erin is becoming a real character on the show. I was thinking at first when she replaced Pam’s job, that she would just be a background character (like that Marjorie lady who disappeared ages ago). She has seizures…is that from being born too early?

Also why do Pam and Jim keep picking up their phones? When I was on my honeymoon, we ignored our phones almost completely.

The second clip makes me feel much better about the storyline than the first one! I wonder if this will be furthered in the next episode: will Pam be mad at Erin during “The Lover” — or too distracted by Michael’s revelation to care?

Ohhhh gosh! That… that brings me closer to tears than anything in the wedding episode, honestly. Part of me hopes they ignore it because it’s just so upsetting. I don’t want to look…

If this had been in the episode, without any resolution, I probably would’ve been depressed all night.

This breaks my heart. When I read the synopsis that Erin “ruins” Pam’s painting, I was hoping that a) it was another painting or b) that it was the frame or something around the edge or that it got torn.

I don’t see how they can possibly make this right.

A tear rolls down my cheek!
