Over the years, several celebrities have made guest appearances on the hugely popular television program The Office. Amy Adams too was a guest in the series, and her character's appearance wasn't limited to a single episode.

Between the first and second seasons of The Office, Amy Adams appeared in three different episodes. She played Katy Moore, who initially visited the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company's Scranton, Pennsylvania, office while attempting to close a purse sale.

Before Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) and Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) formally started dating, she dated Jim for a brief time.

Katy (Amy Adams) was introduced to season 1, episode 6 titled “Hot Girl” The regional manager, Michael Scott (Steve Carell), initially didn’t allow Katy to sell her purses there, that was until he saw her.

After that, he granted her permission to use the conference room to promote her goods, and he made an effort to win her over throughout the entire show.

However, Michael was not the only one attempting to get to know Katy. She claimed in front of the cameras that her "best customers" for purses were men.

That became clear when Rainn Wilson's character, Dwight Schrute, tried to engage with her in a conversation and ended up purchasing a pocketbook.

He also asked her out but she declined his invitation to go out. Michael offered to drive Katy home when she needed a ride. But Jim stepped in, and Katy couldn’t help but be drawn to him. After they went out for drinks, he gave her a ride home, and they started dating.

Adams made a brief second appearance in The Office season 2, episode 4 titled “The Fire”. After the office personnel had to leave owing to a fire alarm, she came to pick Jim up for lunch. To kill time, the coworkers played games.

For example, they reveal three novels they would bring to a desert island, which turned into five movies they would bring.

Jim then called up Katy and explained to her about the game he and the other colleagues were playing. Upon her arrival, Katy too participated in the game after which they left and later saw Pam and her fiance who was working in the warehouse kissing.

The revelation of Pam's engagement to Roy (David Denman) in season 2, episode 11, "Booze Cruise," marked the culmination of Jim and Katy's romance on The Office.

Jim was depressed because Pam was formally getting married to another guy throughout the whole vacation, and only got motivated to "never give up" on his feelings after a stirring talk with Michael.

In the episode, Jim finally came to the painful understanding that no one else could make him that happy and eventually admitted how much he loved Pam.

Jim ended his relationship with Katy after he realized he could never give her the future she desired.

The ending of Booze Cruise, which was made possible by Amy Adams's brief character Katy, is an easily missed turning point in the Jim and Pam relationship in the show.

Jim and Katy's relationship was never going to work, but he would not have recognized how much he wanted to be with Pam if he hadn't discovered how unfulfilling life is with another woman.


In the season 2 finale, he finally confessed his affection to Pam after going through the devastating experience of having to see Pam almost wed another man.

Katy will always be regarded as one of the show’s greatest supporting characters, even though that meant that their relationship had to suffer as a result.
