If they are serious about continuing after Michael then they can have the next season be like a tryout of various different managers. This way they can gauge the audience's reaction and from their feedback choose which actor they want the most as the new boss. And can do another season with the new boss.

I'd actually be all for a season where each episode there is a new boss and its made clear that Corporate is testing the waters. However, I would stick to mainly people already there to give some of the less-heralded characters a chance to have an episode centered around them. Mayhem would ensue.
lol @ the thought of Kevin or Creed running the office for the day |

I don't understand why they'd take him off 4 episodes from the end if they're going to end it. That sounds like a set up to continue in further seasons.
If the show is going to end when Carell stops (which I am strongly in favor of), it should be the final episode. And I'm not pro-ending of The Office or ant-supporting cast or anything. I love the show and think everyone is great, but I can't fathom this show without Michael Scott, and I prefer things to end on a good note. It doesn't have as much left anyways. Ever since hearing that Carrel may be leaving, I've actually noticed his importance to the show more than ever, when I think about it and just realize his sheer influence on every scene and plot. |

Yeah, I just read about Will Ferrell coming to The Office for like a 5 episode run. I dont know what to make of that.

Will Ferrell on The Office could be seriously amazing. Will Ferrell and Dwight interractions? The possibilities are endless.

As integral to the show as Carrell is, as a whole the show doesn't really have anywhere to go. Gervais would change that.
Wondering if they're building to him taking over or it was just a tease. |

Could be just a tease but if they get good feedback they could weigh that option but it's up to Gervais.

So whats everyone's guess of how Michael leaves? I'm guessing Holly gets moved back to Nashua, and Michael leaves with her.

Honestly that's the only way I can see it happening at this point. Toby returns from jury duty and when Holly has to move back, Michael either quits or receives a surprising job offer to move to Nashua...probably the latter as it would be easier to work Michael into a guest appearance (like another company picnic or something).
For whatever it's worth, Jenna Fischer said that there's going to be more to it than somebody new coming in and taking over. Seems to suggest that there will be an internal promotion, possibly with a new cast member replacing whoever gets moved up. |

Holly is supposed to be in season 8 some so I think she isn't moving.

At the end it is finally revealed that Michael G. Scott is actually an alias and he is really Agent Michael Scarn.

Yeah an internal promotion makes sense since there are already too many people on the show/working in that office already. I mean there's a regional manager, assistant regional manager, office administrator, 4 other salesmen, 3 accountants, a receptionist, a supplier relations person, a quality assurance person, the head of the warehouse, a customer service rep, an HR rep, and whatever Gabe does. Tell me that office doesn't have a ton of overhead.

Yeah, internally I genuinely don't know who would get it. From a logical perspective, Jim would get it as he's already been a co-manager. But logic really doesn't apply since Ryan at one point was promoted to a high executive spot despite being a salesman who never once made a sale.
Dwight finally becoming manager would be interesting, but the constant story arc of him trying to get that job always leads to hilarity. I think they could use this opportunity to give a "push" to one of the less-heralded workers in the office. Creed jumps to mind - I could totally see him bullshitting his way through the interview process and getting the job because Sabre wanted somebody who has been with the company for ages. Someone else can fill in at his job, or Ryan can take it over. |

Will Ferrel would be strange, I think. It would be interesting to see Ferrel added as a new staff character while Gervais is the boss, but I doubt that. Also, logically there is almost no way to write Michael Scott off the show while it continues, unless he goes on a honeymoon or takes some kind of leave, since the "documentary crew" regularly follows him everywhere he goes, whether it's pertaining to work or not. They would totally send a crew with him if he got transferred or whatever. If he took a season off or something like that, they could dedicate an entire episode(s) to showing footage of what he was doing while he was gone. |

That's not really relevant. He's been in other storylines or he's playing pranks on Dwight so it's not like he doesn't have a place in the show anymore. It's weird because last season I felt that here was too much Jim and now in this season he's on screen for like a few mins then disappears for the rest of the episode.

Yeah, last night's episode telegraphed that Michael is definitely leaving with Holly.
Can't wait for next week's episode. Finally get to see Threat Level Midnight. |

David Koechner becoming a regular could be interesting. I love the actor, not so much the character. Just so one note.

No prob with Packer in small doses. As a regular, he'd have to evolve though.

"Rescue Me" actress (and former model) Cody Horn will join the cast next season. Not sure what job she'll have - possibly Kelly's old job if Kelly doesn't return (her contract is up).
Seems like Pam will no longer be the one that all the straight guys in the office ogle. Paul Lieberstein (Toby) also hinted that she would be a love interest of Creed. Really hope Creed can get a storyline, that would rule. Saw it on The Office's official Facebook fan page btw. Already loads of people bitching about it, assuming she won't be funny, etc. Don't really see the big deal. |
