Let’s talk about Andy. He’s now the boss. Do you think that was a “be careful what you wish for” situation, because he seems to have lost his rage issues.

[Chuckles.] Yeah, I really liked Andy’s internal struggle. Not just with his rage issues, but with his pettiness and how he could be influenced at times. I think he has such a big heart and wants to be a good guy but just gets in his own way a lot. And I feel like this season we got lost a little bit from that, and made him this cheerful, big-hearted simpleton. But I don’t think that has anything to do with whether or not he was made manager. It’s just how the character is drawn. But I have to say, I’m really excited. The season wraps up in some fun, unexpected ways. It’s a journey. You always have to just roll with it and try new things and see what works and what doesn’t.

When you say “we got lost,” did you not like him becoming nicer and big-hearted?

We lost some of the complexity that I think makes Andy a flawed and interesting guy. But that’s not to say — like I said, I think it’s all forward momentum. I shouldn’t use words like “lost” or say “we lost our way.” It’s more like we just went down different avenues and I’m just excited about how it’s rolling forward.

It does seem that Andy and Erin are going to become a romance again.
It does seem that way.

Are you looking forward to that?
Are you just looking for flagrant spoilers, or what?

It was confirmed that Andy has no spine as a manager when there was no one to answer the phone since Erin was in Florida. And when the phone was ringing and he wanted someone to answer it no one ever got up and he was the receptionist instead of assigning someone-lol


Now what manager would have done that?-LOL
