Wow, they almost RUINED Friends! And Matthew Perry saved it!
Fans know while Ross and Rachel were the exciting will they/won’t they viewers showed up for, Monica and Chandler were the strong beating heart they stayed for. Their relationship, and the way it changed both characters, is one of the best character evolutions ever on TV. Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry were just outstanding that entire run. And the writers nearly threw it all away for some cheap drama!

Hooray for good guys saying NO! (Can you believe TV writers didn’t learn their lesson from this and tried it on The Office, too??)
It obviously would have been a much juicier part for Lisa (though perhaps a touch ignominious as well). But she told TMZ she ultimately thinks Perry made the right decision. BIG SAME! Who knows what would have become of the beautiful
