Michael Scott may be exiting The Office after next season, but he's gonna have an enjoyable time while he's still there.

Producer (and star) Mindy Kaling has confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Amy Ryan will play a prominent role on seasons even, reprising her beloved character of Holly Flax, Michael's one true love.

“We set her return up in the finale, so it would be the biggest [cop-out] of all time if we didn’t [follow through] on it,” said Kaling. “She’s definitely coming back.”

Kaling also thinks Dwight should eventually replace Michael as branch manager. Do you agree?
