10 Scrapped Friends Storylines That Would Have Changed The Show Forever
4. Elizabeth Gets Pregnant
One of Ross’ most memorable storylines came in Season 6 when he began dating Elizabeth, one of his students.
Ross became the butt of many jokes from the rest of the gang due to the significant age gap between himself and Elizabeth. Hiding the relationship from his fellow teachers and dealing with Elizabeth’s father, played by Bruce Willis, lead to some of his most hilarious moments from the series.
Reportedly, the original plan was for Elizabeth to announce that she was pregnant at the end of the season. The story would have carried over into Season 7 with Ross ultimately learning that he wasn’t the father.
This major plot could have potentially muddied the waters of the series and would have only gone to undermine the future storyline of Ross having a baby with Rachel in Season 8.
