Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Jim (John Krasinski) got their happy ending on The Office (marriage and babies, baby!), so what's the holdup on some smoochin' between the beet farmer and his ladylove? We're still rooting for Dwight (Rainn Wilson) and Angela (Angela Kinsey) to reunite. Will it happen?

Here's the scoop on Dwangela's future, from the stars themselves; plus, the latest dish on Andy's (Ed Helms) chances of hooking up with cute new receptionist Erin (Ellie Kemper)...

The Future of Dwight & Angela's Love Life: So are we ever going to see Dwight and Angela together again? (After all, they were legally married by a German-speaking Mennonite minister in a horse barn.)

"Hello, sister! I wanna know, too!" Angela Kinsey told us at the NBC Golden Globes party. And she's not the only one. "Rainn [Wilson] came up to me, day one of filming and said, 'When are we gonna get it on again?' I said, 'I dunno, Rainn, but let's make it happen!' So Rainn and I really believe that Dwight and Angela are the soul mates."

Thankfully, Angela also assured us that the lovelorn twosome are totally not a lost cause. "I hear rumblings that they're gonna find their way back, but it might take a little while," said Angela. "I'm all along for the ride. I wanna find Dwight, that tall geeky man. I want it. I want it!"

The Future of Andy & Erin's Love Life: On a more positive note, Ed Helms' Nard-Dog keeps earning brownie points with Erin, and the weirdos (as Ellie Kemper hilariously describes them) are finally going on a real-life date. As per usual around The Office, the outing will not go as planned, but at least we're seeing some much-needed nerd love in Scranton.

Unfortunately, we're hearing the Powers That Be at Dunder Mifflin are huge fans of the slow-burn romance, and nothing too serious will develop in the near future. In fact, a third-party male may be coming between the two. Ah, the dreaded love triangle strikes again!

The Future of Kevin's Love Life (Wait, Really, Kevin?): Last but not least, there's Kevin. Yes, Kevin. Right now, he may not be the most likely candidate for an epic romance, but Brian Baumgartner told us Kevin's making some huge changes, and that's going to open the door to love.

"Kevin is gonna find some love. Well, we hope," teased Brian. "Let's hope you get to know her. Let's hope she's really, really good-looking for Kevin's sake." Our fingers are crossed!

Maybe Kev's new lady friend is due to the fact that he's turning over a new leaf: "Over the last part of the season, he is going to commit himself to working harder at his job and really try to improve himself as an accountant. We'll see how that goes."

How would you get Dwight and Angela back together if you were writing the show? And are you a devoted Andy-Erin fan already, or are you waiting to see how that twosome develops? Hit the comments!
