Much as the €˜will they, won€™t they?€™ between Ross and Rachel may have dominated the early seasons of Friends, a different relationship took centre stage after that. Chandler and Monica wound up in bed together when the gang travelled to England for Ross' ill-fated wedding, but there were no long-term plans in place for their relationship to develop beyond that.

Scott Silveri worked as a writer and producer on the show for many years, and he has revealed that discussions about whether or not it was a viable relationship took place when the writers returned to map out Season 5.

The largely positive fan reaction to the unexpected hook-up and the chemistry between Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox pushed the relationship and show forward, and Silveri believes Friends might have finished a few years earlier had they not taken that chance.
