Matthew Perry asked the Friends writers to scrap the scene in which Chandler Bing cheated on Monica Geller
Actress Lisa Cash said she was supposed to play the hotel employee with whom Chandler Big spends the night in Las Vegas
"The scene was Monica and Chandler fighting in Vegas because Monica had dinner with Richard," Lisa explained.
She added: "In the original story, Chandler goes up to the hotel room, orders food, and I bring it. Chandler ends up cheating on Monica with my character."
After the rehearsal, the actor personally addressed the writers and asked them to abandon the idea. Obviously, the audience would not forgive adultery.
Cash admitted that she thought Parry's decision was wise.
She ended up playing a flight attendant in a scene involving Ross and Rachel. She was happy filming with Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer, as well as rehearsing with Muttju Parry.
For 10 years, Monica and Chandler were a couple that many looked up to. Perry himself once admitted that he had always been madly in love with Courtney, but they were connected only by friendship.
Matthew Perry, 54, died on October 28, 2023 at his home in Los Angeles. According to information, the cause of death was drowning.
