Matthew Perry Axed a Friends Scene

So my sister sent this to me today. I am so glad he put the kibosh on it.

So while we were discussing it, I said I think this would have been worse than the Rachel/Joey romance plot line. She disagreed and said Chandler cheating would not have been great, but they would have used it like the "we were on a break" Ross/Rachel plot line. To where I came back and said it was different, and viewers have already been there/done that. Ross was a different dynamic and Chandler cheating would have been worse, imo. We agreed to disagree.

So, what do you think?

Absolutely. And glad he had the power to nix the scene.

I would’ve hated it. Once they got Chandler & Monica together, the only way out would’ve been to break them up *before* any extramarital hanky-panky.

Rachel/Joey was weird, especially since they tried it with Joeys crush. Then later made it be a two-sided thing. Not sure why they re-hashed it… but it was never a good idea.

That would have been a bad idea. It would have torn the group apart. There would have been no way to redeem Chandler.
