As it turns out, the writers went on a tangent tied to the idea that Michael actually killed Meredith with his car, going so far as to reverse back over the body, and then hid the body.
That didn’t happen, of course, but I did ask Flannery what she thought about that plan.
While I’ll remain 3% wary that Kate Flannery was trying to throw me off the scent of Meredith being the actual Scranton Strangler all along, I won’t harp too long on it.
Speaking of would-be killers, though, Flannery appeared on a recent episode of the Office Ladies podcast and spoke with former co-stars Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey about the alternate pitch for the Season 4 premiere in which Michael hits Meredith with his car and believes the office is cursed as a result.
