10 Scrapped Friends Storylines That Would Have Changed The Show Forever

Another potential storyline that was revealed in Saul Austerlitz’s book, Generation Friends’, would have feature Chandler secretly frequenting a gay club because he loved the sandwiches they served. No, that’s not a euphemism.

Matthew Perry later confirmed this on the American chat show ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’. The actor revealed that he actually called the producers and asked “not to do this one” after reading the script.

While there are obvious comedic moments you can imagine from this scenario, it would have been a needlessly controversial subject to address at the time, even more so in the current climate.

In recent years, some people have criticised Friends for its dated jokes referencing subjects such as homosexuality and misogyny, so it was probably a wise decision that the writers decided against this storyline.
