10 Scrapped Friends Storylines That Would Have Changed The Show Forever

6. The Bing Honeymoon

Fans of the show will remember the episode where Chandler and Monica went on their honeymoon, but they may not know that the plot of the episode was originally very different.

The initial storyline involved them getting in trouble with airport security after Chandler made some jokes about bombs. These scenes were filmed shortly before the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City and were rightfully cut from the show for obvious reasons.

The newly written plot was re-shot shortly afterwards and centred around Monica and Chandler competing against another newly-married couple to try and have the better honeymoon.

If the original episode had aired before the tragic events, it could have left an unintentional black mark lingering over the series. But thankfully they were able to edit the episode before any unwanted controversy came their way.
