Name a better TV couple than Jim and Pam on The Office fans loved the way the two clicked as flirty friends, then watched as they dated and got married, stumbled a bit in their marriage, and looked like they had a beautiful future as the show ended. During a recent Office Ladies podcast, Jenna Fischer, who played Pam, pointed out one moment between the two that really showed their chemistry.

During the Jan. 14 installment of the Office Ladies podcast, hosts Fischer and Angela Kinsey looked at season 2s Halloween episode, in which boss Michael Scott is forced to fire a staff member of the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin. Their co-star Creed Bratton shared his experiences from the episode during the podcast as well.

Brattons character, it turns out, almost got fired, as Michael labored over who to cut, called Creed into his office to fire him and, when he was unsuccessful, fired the other background actor, Devon Abner, who played the character Devon.

Fisher shared that show-runner Greg Daniels couldnt fire a series regular cast member because they had contracts and he didnt want to fire a supporting cast member either, so it came down to Bratton and Abner, who at the time were the two background actors on the show.

Bratton shared: Greg found out that Devon had atheater contract and that he was going to go on tour, adding, Hetold us, One of you guys is going to have to go, but we dont know yet. Weregoing to shoot you both and see how it works. I remember being a little nervous,and Devon and I were friends.

During the podcast, the hosts pointed out that Jim and Pam had their first air high five during the episode, a moment that comes to the minds of many fans when they think about the couples timeline on the series.

Kinsey noted how its pretty tricky to pull off, having tried it with her daughter, finding the timing challenging, but Fischer said she and John Krasinski, who played Jim, Kind of did it perfectly the first time, adding, it was meant to be. That speaks to our chemistry, I believe.

During the Halloween episode, Pam suggests that Jim should apply for another job and he is hurt by the idea of her not missing him if he left. She later apologizes for pushing him about the job, saying shed blow her brains out if he left and he tells the camera that Pam is the only thing keeping him there.

During the podcast, they discussed how these characters are being pushed together, pulled apart quite often, with Fischer pointing out that these episodes of The Office start to feature a sweet Pam and Jim moment and then a moment where someone gets their feelings are hurt.
