The pivotal moment is close at hand. We all know it is coming and by god, we are salvaging each and every available moment of hilarity. That’s right dear readers – Steve Carell is leaving NBC’s The Office at the end of this season. Steve Carell has portrayed the main character of Michael Scott for seven seasons. He has served as that gooey substance keeping the show together. The Office is an ensemble series and many unique characters with very well developed personalities give the show its spark. However, it is Steve Carell’s presence that really acts as the heart of the series. The inevitable is knocking at our doors. A special, two-part episode entitled “Goodbye Michael” is set to air and it almost seems unreal that such a quirky character that we have grown to love and adore is leaving.
Perhaps the show will continue to hold water pull through on the backs of the rest of the cast. But there is still an enormous chance that Carell’s departure will be the catalyst that will lead to the shows demise.
