office deleted scenes: new third favorite character!

In case you missed them, there are two deleted scenes out from last week’s Office snoozefest, “Mafia.”  It’s really a shame this C-story got cut, as it features my old third favorite character (Kelly) and my new third favorite character (Erin). You may recall from last season that Erin’s name is actually Kelly, as well, but she chose Erin once Michael decided there could only be one Kelly in the office. As the office’s replacement Pam, looks like Erin’s having a little trouble fitting in–but she’s really far too nice for these people, anyway. Too bad she’s so nice and so awkward that she’s willing to stop at nothing to make them like her.

Hopefully we’ll get to see more of this character soon–she’s so charming and endearing, a nice addition to the chaos.  We know she’s a big part of the upcoming webisodes, “Subtle Sexuality,” about Kelly and Erin forming a girl group. (Past and present third-favorite characters unite!)
