10 Terrible Friends Storylines That Should Have Been Cut

7. Monica With Richard's Son

In yet another 'eww' moment on the show, Monica decides it's a good idea to date the son of her ex-boyfriend Richard.

In the season four episode 'The One With Chandler In a Box', Monica attends her eye doctor expecting to see Richard, but is instead treated by his son Timothy, who happens to be of a similar age to the younger Geller. They hit it off and she invites him to Thanksgiving. When the pair try to kiss later, they find it extremely awkward as Timothy reminds Monica of Richard.

It's a strange plot to say the least, and really only serves as pointless filler for other events in that same episode. By this point, we knew Monica was over Richard and the story is really just a rehash of what had come before, but like others on this list, done in a very strange way. We all knew what was going to happen, and it makes the storyline completely unnecessary, especially when it's never spoken of again.
