The vet of HBO’s the Wire and Gone, Baby Gone’s Oscar nod, Amy Ryan, has signed up to stay on for at least 5 more episodes of NBC’s The Office, and we’re psyched. Not only does it look like Michael Scott might finally have a woman worth courting, but the building drama between the Dunder Mifflin regional manager and his ex Jan (especially after her big-bellied reveal in the finale.

You might remember – nay, you SHOULD remember – that Ryan joined the Scranton branch as a replacement for Paul Lieberstien Toby, which immediately makes our Office spec script useless.

Ryan told Variety: “I don’t know what they’re going to do with the character…but as it was written, there’s certainly a lot of potential. It’s a funny thing to enter a show that you’re a great fan of — and it’s nice to tell lighter stories. I love the dark, grittier side of life, but it’s nice to take a break from that, put a skirt on and brush your hair.”

Yes, Amy, let’s hope they extend you to some sort of mid-season cliffhanger so the Holly character gets the drama she deserves.
