I really hated Nellie in pretty much every scene she was in lmao, she was just a shitty character in my opinion, made me annoyed and mad, which i guess is a good thing because that means the actor did a great job, but the character? hell nah
Got to this episode while rebinging The Office, and out of anger I just switched the tab to this, to reassure my frustrations with the writers to this day, that they put Nellie incharge and "killed" Andy just like that for idk wtf reason.
I am glad I wasnt the only one who had felt white rage at the whole Nellie taking over the Office plot! I didnt want to believe that the show started to digress after Michael's departure, but this hits the nail in the coffin. Still going to watch the show because I love the characters!
My theory is audience loves erin as long as she is a receptionist but I don't understand the hate for Nelly, maybe because she was in a superior position?
Scenes like this is one of the reasons the last season of the Office seemed so fake to me, they took a 180 turn and tried to sell the idea that the people in the Office were a loving Family whereas they betrayed each other without remorse several times, Andy consistently suffering the worst of it. Michael, Jim and Pam were the only ones who consistently showed a bit of care to other people in the office, the rest of them were enormous a holes.
When I watched this scene I thought I was insane to be so frustrated by a scene from a tv show that isn't real, looking at the comments I'm glad I wasn't the only one. What the office writers did to Andy's character has to be up there as one of the worst destructions in tv history.
remember when Phyllis insulated Pam at a party and Pam was just shocked and stared at the camera? Man just say to her something , retaliate. Very bad writting.
This was so stupid. She just took over and they let her- I didn’t find Nellie at all appealing as a character even though Catherine Tate is funny. By the time they tried to make her nicer in season 9 the damage was done. Also poor Andy, the whole story was stupid.
