“We were just joking around in the room,” Ramy recalled, adding that a “bunch of people found that they were just mostly watching The Office when they were dating somebody — this joke of The Office being enough to keep two people together.”
That thought then turned into what brought Lena and Steve together.
“Ramy can’t believe that Steve has this really beautiful girlfriend, but they are just together because they love The Office,” Ramy explained. “That is the most important thing in their relationship. It was really making us laugh. It was one of our bigger swings as an episode, and then it became Bella.”
He then says of Bella‘s acting, “She did the script as written, but brought something to it that was so different and really, really unexpected.”
