Holly Shumpert

From Encyc

Holly Shumpert is a fictional character in the US situation comedy television show "The King of Queens". She is played by Nicole Sullivan.

Holly is a cheerful yet insecure dog walker hired by Doug and Carrie to "walk" Carrie's Dad Arthur. She is often seen arriving at the Heffernan house to pick up Arthur but is also a family friend of the Heffernans. Holly is often viewed as a bit strange because of her unique habits and beliefs. She's also very patient, having the ability to put up with Arthur. Holly was written out of the show (it was said was moving away with her boyfriend) in the eighth season. This was because Nicole Sullivan left to work on the short-lived sitcom, Hot Properties, which she starred in. Holly did return for Arthur's wedding on the series finale. In the final episode, she was pregnant and said her husband left her. She was later seen flirting with the rabbi.

Holly made her first appearance on the show in the third season as a sales person at a baby store. Later, in the fourth season she appeared as the dog walker.

Carrie is competitive with Holly and gets upset whenever things are going well with her.
