Matthew Perry made the writers of Friends change a controversial cheating storyline.
The actor, who died last month aged 54, played Chandler Bing in the hit sitcom with Courteney Cox as his girlfriend/wife Monica and it’s now been revealed the pair were supposed to be caught up in a scandal with Perry’s character cheating on her during a trip to Las Vegas in a 1999 episode titled ‘The One in Vegas: Part 1′.
The revelation was made by actress Lisa Cash, who was hired to play a hotel worker who brings room service to Chandler’s room after he has a huge fight with Monica.
“The scene was Chandler and Monica were arguing In Vegas about Monica having lunch with [ex-boyfriend] Richard and in our script, Chandler goes up to the hotel room and orders room service and I bring it up as a hotel worker,” Cash told TMZ.
“And we end up talking and laughing and connecting and Chandler ends up cheating on Monica with my character.”
