Matthew Perry's character, Chandler Bing, on the hit TV show "Friends," narrowly avoided a scandal when he almost cheated on Monica. According to Lisa Cash, who appeared in a 1999 episode of the show, the original plan was for Chandler and Monica to have a heated argument in Las Vegas, during which Lisa's character would bring up room service to Chandler's hotel room. However, Chandler and Lisa's character ended up hitting it off after his fight with Monica, leading to a potential affair.
Fans of the show would have been devastated if Chandler had cheated on Monica, and Matthew Perry agreed.
Lisa reveals that after rehearsing the scene, he went to the writers and asked them to remove it. While this would have been a significant opportunity for Lisa's career, she believes it was the right decision and could have changed the overall trajectory of the show. Despite the change in the plot, Lisa still appeared in the episode as a flight attendant in Ross and Rachel's scene.
She feels blessed to have had the chance to work with Matthew Perry and believes he made a significant impact on the show. There has been an outpouring of love and admiration for Matthew Perry following his tragic death in his jacuzzi over the weekend.
Lisa joins many others in expressing kind words and sharing fond memories of the late actor.
