What became of the Friends?


I loved Friends, but never have seen Joey, so I'm curious according to the spin-off what happened to the other five after the end of Friends?

They never show in Joey either.
We never know what happened to other friends.

You mean none of there whereabouts are even mentioned? Thats pretty lame after over ten years of being so close to not even mention anything...

Gina: Yeah this is a good place for couples to go to, especially gay couples!
Joey: Damnit! Chandler and I are NOT a gay couple!!

As much as you and I may have wanted "Joey" to be "Friends" continued, the producers of the show AND Matt wanted the show to stand on its own. Fans wanted a cameo appearance by Chandler but the producers said they would only do that if the show was failing and needed a ratings boost. However, that would have been deemed a desparate play for the show and not a "gift" for "Friends" fans.

I really wish Chandler had a cameo appearance on Joey.

I know, this always bothered me. Especially after Joey gets that HUGE movie role. Why wouldn't Chandler come down to see the premire or at least call. After all Chandler did Joey should have kept him up to date

reply

This should could of been awesome if the friends came in for guest star appearances.

reply

It was awesome anyway...there was room for the show to grow.

Probably would have saved the show if they had cameo appearances from some of the friends. David Schwimmer even directed a couple of episodes so no reason why he couldn't have appeared.
Fraiser had most of the Cheers cast appear on it which kept the interest of Cheers fans going Joey could have doen the same.

i haven't watched this show in a while. i own season 1 and i know season 2 is out in canada but not here in the states.
But of all the friends, only 2 made mention. chandler in the pilot which was already pointed out. and rachel. he said in one episode that he was once in love with a pregnant girl he roomed with. or something like that.

and joey did make it big. in fear that the show got canned in season 2, the writers made joey an action star to try and boost the show.

the only character who did make an appearance from friends to joey was joey's dad. it was the same actor.

and yes, david swimmer did direct a couple episodes.

oh, and if you look, supposedly there's a photo of chandler in every episode.

reply

It was pathetic that the other friends were barely mentioned.

They didn't even need to neccisarily make guest appears, Joey could have talked to them on the phone, or mentioned them more.

Did they honestly think people who have been watching Friends for 10 years would just forget about them?

Michael Scott: What is a Pap smear? Or is it shmear?

reply

The person who quotes the Chandler line a few posts above mis-quoted it.

It was ....

GINA: Yeh well LA has a very vibrant gay scene. You and Chandler should have moved out here a while ago.

JOEY: Dammit, me and Chandler are not a gay couple!

I'm Jewish, thats no cake walk either. I was elected school treasurer... I didn't even run!

The only actor that re appears (i think)
is that guy who played eddie.. joey's weirdo roommate (comes back as jimmy)in 2x14

At least two others appear too. Jennifer Coolidge (who plays Bobbie) was in Friends as some British woman called Amanda. And Robert Costanzo appears in both shows as Joey's dad.

reply

Well Matt Leblanc did actually hint that one of the five other Friends would appear in season 3, too bad that never happened, I agree about David though, there's no reason why they couldn't have had Ross appear at least once.

reply

The thing is 'Joey' could have worked if they just did it better, unfortuantly it was terribly made.
and a COKE....i'm sorted

reply

I've read somewhere that David Schwimmer Said that he is'nt interested in reprising his character so that he would have appeared.
