Chandler’s story would have been completely different on Friends if Matthew Perry hadn’t asked the writers to remove a specific scene; in fact, we would have hated this plot.
It turns out that Lisa Cash‘s appearance in the episode “The One in Vegas: Part 1” was no fluke. The actress won the job as an extra for a role she never played.
The Scene in Friends, Matthew Perry Refused to Shot
The actress confessed to TMZ that when she was hired it was because she would be the woman with whom Chandler would cheat on Monica, something that evidently never happened. The episode, Lisa explained, focused on an argument between Monica and Chandler, which would lead him to be unfaithful to her, who was part of the staff of the hotel in Las Vegas where they were staying.
Matthew Perry was aware that if that happened, fans would never forgive him, so he begged the writers to remove that part of the story. And although it was a great move for the actor, for Lisa not so much, because if she had played the woman with whom Chandler was unfaithful, the course of her acting career would have been different.
However, she got another chance at the iconic series. Lisa ended up being the flight attendant in Ross and Rachel’s scene, and we all still love Chandler.
The Death of Matthew Perry
For days, the whole world continues to mourn Matthew Perry, who was found dead in the jacuzzi of his home. So far, little information has been revealed about what really happened to him. It was ruled out that it was a criminal act, but they are still investigating whether it was an accident, because although no drugs were found in the place, he did have prescription drugs like antidepressants.
Matthew’s character in Friends is for many of the fans of the series, the favorite because he always proved to be the best friend and boyfriend of the story.
