A wedding bell will soon ring for Pam and Jim on “The Office“. A complicated relationship, an engagement and a baby on the way after, the on-screen couple is confirmed to tie the knot in season 6. Yet, Michael Scott is still clueless about everything including Pam’s growing baby bump.
The news of the wedding was first sparked by actress Mindy Kaling who confirmed that she was writing an episode for the scene. She revealed that the wedding will occur as soon as the fourth episode, reasoning “Wouldn’t people kind of get annoyed if we kept it (engagement) going for years and years?”
Jenna Fischer who plays Pam gave more details to TV Guide magazine, revealing that she had been doing some fittings for wedding gowns. “It’s going to be a destination wedding, probably in Niagara Falls,” Fischer elaborated. “By making it a destination wedding, the hope is that nobody from the office will come.”
Regarding Michael’s absence of knowledge about Pam’s pregnancy, Fischer said they would like to keep it that way. “We’re keeping it a secret from Michael for a couple reasons,” explained the actress. “First, Jim and Pam aren’t married yet, and also, just, you know, it’s Michael Scott we’re dealing with.”
The sixth season begins September 17 at 9/8c on NBC.
Here’s the spoiler part: We are back to work at The Office. We are currently shooting episode 2. The best part about working on this show is getting to know the answers to all of the cliffhangers 2 months early. It’s good stuff!
The show will pick up in real time. Pam is just out of her first trimester but isn’t really showing yet.
It’s like NBC was reading our minds when it posted this classic clip from The Office today. You probably know it. In one of his infamous pranks on Dwight, Jim … became Dwight.
We’re not sure what’s funnier:
That Dwight refers to this as “identity theft.”
That Jim’s asks him what type of bear is best.
That Rainn Wilson’s character is so believable and John Krasinski’s impression so spot on that you swear you’re watching real people.
In response to a question of whether Pam Beesly is pregnant on The Office - the last scene of the season finale certainly seemed to suggest as much - Ed Helms (Andy Bernard) would not confirm nor deny it, and wonders if a bait and switch is at hand.
“I don’t know exactly what’s going on there,” he told EW over the weekend at the MTV Movie Awards. “There was an ambiguous hospital scene; that’s about all I know.”
Sad face. Oscar nominee Amy Ryan returns to The Office tomorrow night, but unfortunately, it seems that her return is the beginning of the end for Michael Scott (Steve Carell) and our beloved Holly Flax.
We just spoke to Amy exclusively, and she does feel your pain: “I got stopped in the street last week by this woman who just said, ‘You have to go back to him! You broke his heart.’ It’s a lot of pressure!”
So what goes down between Holly and Michael tomorrow at the “Company Picnic”? Here’s what Amy spilled:
According to Holly, “Right now Holly has a hot boyfriend. [The finale] is a company picnic, and he works at the Nashua branch, so yeah, he is there. Michael responds to this in his usual, as-you-would-expect way.” By which she means he responds with his usual hilarious and wacko inappropriateness.
After the “Company Picnic” encounter, however, it’s all over, as much as Amy would love the prospect of another return visit with her friends at The Office. She says, “I think that door [to return] will always be open, just because it’s such a nice party to go to. But that said, there are no plans any time soon for them to be reunited again.” Still, we can always hold out for a series-finale capper where Holly Flax returns to propose to Michael, right? As Amy puts it, “You never know when they’re going to be whisked away off into the sunset.”
As for her partner in crime, “Steve and I get along so well as actors, to the point where we are finishing each others’ sentences—even in conversation. Of course, there’s no catching up with Steve in the comedy department, but he’s so generous. He leaves room for you to take it, you know? He sets you up beautifully. He offers it up to you to grab it as your own.” Aww, he really is the nicest guy in show business!
Next up for Amy is a role opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman in the quirky rom-com Jack Goes Boating, which is also Hoffman’s directorial debut.
Will you miss Amy Ryan on The Office when she’s gone? Do you think Holly was Michael Scott’s one true love?
The Office season finale airs Thursday at 9 p.m. on NBC.
