Kevin and Holly Reunited
One other good news stemming from the recent announcement that Amy Ryan is indeed returning for a five episode appearance next season is the opportunity for more scenes between Holly Flax (Amy Ryan) and Kevin (Brian Baumgartner). Remember when Dwight told Holly Kevin was kinda slow and so she had to treat him differently? How could anyone forget it… I thought it was one of the highlights of the finale. The two had such a good chemistry and timing together, the whole thing worked.
With Holly’s return, will fans get to see more of scenes like that or will Holly realize the mistake? In a recent chat with the press, Brian Baumgartner says he that there will be a lot of Kevin-Holly interaction to look forward to and that he’s glad to be working with the actress again —
"You know, I have recently heard how it is going to play out and I can only say I guess at this point that it will play out from here. You know, we’re still so far off now and obviously everything can change. But I was so thrilled that she’s coming back. She was fantastic to work with, I thought she brought a great new color and level to the show. She’s a fantastic actor and was really fun for me to work with. And it really — it was fun for Kevin to be able to play in that way as well.
I mean some people said it was sort of a joke that had been setting up unbeknownst to anybody for four years but I feel like when it played itself out it was very, very funny. It — well it did very well in our table read, I’ll say that. And yeah, I’m thrilled she’s coming back and I do understand that she and Kevin will have some more interactions coming up the first part of the year."
And many of the show’s fans, I know, are ecstatic she’s coming back! Can she stay permanently?
