As we know, there were two sets of couples between the 6 friends on Friends. There was Rachel and Ross, and Monica and Chandler. While one was always meant to be the other was not. The legendary show’s creator David Crane and his partner Jeffrey Klarik told Today that only one them was meant to happen from the beginning. Of course that meant to be couple was Ross and Rachel.
The one that wasn’t. When they were developing the sitcom, they wanted a Janeane Garofalo type for the part of Monica and they wanted her to be with Joey. Then when they cast a softer Courteney Cox in the role, they felt the two did not have “the right energy.” Which is why they went with the better pairing of Monica and Chandler.
Why did the remaining two friends Phoebe and Joey not hook up? David Crane said, “When we even considered it, Monica was with Chandler, that’s too tidy. You can’t, no, stop it.”
What do you think of the pairings that never were? Are you mad they did not happen?
