Friends: 10 Best Characters Only In One Episode

10. Erika Ford

Episode: The One After The Superbowl, Part 1 (S2E12)

It's no secret that Joey likes to bed attractive women as a hobby, choosing not to call them back the next day and leaving it at that. But his lust was flipped on its head in this episode, and that's what makes Erika Ford such an entertaining character: she's one attractive woman that Joey actively tried to avoid bedding.

Erika is a crazy, obsessed fan, who actually believes that Joey is Dr. Drake Ramoray - the character he plays on TV soap opera Days Of Our Lives - in real life. Initially, Joey is perfectly happy to go on a date with her, before realizing that she's genuinely nuts (her psychopathic laugh and incessant finger-licking were rather alarming warning signs) and striving to get rid of her at any cost.

This leads to Joey pretending he's actually Hans Ramoray - Drake's evil twin - in order to get Erika off his back. For a man who's usually so confident with women, it was great fun to see him thrown off balance for an episode, and Erika's hilariously over-the-top attachment to the fictional Drake was an adorable - if creepy - quirk.
