The iconic American comedy sitcom Friends does not need any introduction! As the show premiered back in 1994, it went on to become a cult classic, with fans still not being able to get over the sitcom!
As the story of six friends navigating their lives became a massive hit, these characters became hugely popular amongst viewers. One of the on-screen couples of the show, Chandler and Monica, went on to make couple goals while fans shipped them as the perfect couple!
However, the pair also had to go through a few roadblocks, and a shocking new fact about the reel-life pair has recently resurfaced by taking social media by storm! While fans are mourning the death of series star Matthew Perry, his on-screen character Chandler was much loved by viewers. Let’s find out whether Chandler cheated on Monica or not.
Did Chandler Cheat On Monica?
While Chandler did not cheat on Monica in Friends, it has been recently revealed that the show writers actually planned a possible infidelity arc where Chandler would be unfaithful to Monica. However, they eventually did not go through the cheating part after series star Matthew Perry intervened and asked the writers not to include it.
In the season 5 episode titled The One in Vegas, the first part, fans might remember how Monica and Chandler get into an argument after Monica goes to lunch with her former partner, Richard Burke. As per the initial script, Chandler becomes friendly with a hotel worker (played by Lisa Cash), and with one thing leading to another, he would have ended up cheating on Monica.
Lisa Cash Makes Shocking Revelation!
Actress Lisa Cash was supposed to be the woman with whom Chandler’s character was supposed to cheat! The actress later revealed that they even rehearsed it and everything, and the day before they were shooting in front of a live audience, she was told that actor Matthew went to the writers and asked them to axe the part as the audience would never forgive his character for cheating on Monica.
Lisa Cash further admitted that although the role in such an iconic show would have been kinda a game changer for her, she understood Perry’s decision to ax the plot while saying that it was a good move.
Cash explained that, unlike Ross and Rachel, Chandler and Monica were not on a break, and the character would have been making a conscious decision to cheat on Monica. While Lisa Cash’s original role was eventually axed from the episode, the actress was later recast as a flight attendant in a scene with David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston.
What Happened To Chandler And Monica?
Chandler and Monica got their happily ever after as they not only got married but even adopted twins and eventually moved to the suburbs. Series creator Martha Kauffman further shared that she thinks Monica and Chandler are together, and they have their twins and are doing great.
Lisa Cash later shared her experience about being a guest star on the show and praised Perry as she stated how it was just really so neat to work with him while recalling how it was all intimidating for her as she was new to the industry.
However, Cash revealed that she felt so comfortable and that Perry was really likable and welcoming and just made her feel at ease. Even popular actor John Stamos recently remembered the actor and thanked him for making him feel at ease during his guest appearance on the show.
Not only that, but Lisa Cash also remembered the late actor as she admitted that it was just really fun doing that scene with Perry and admitted that it was easy doing the scene with Matthew because that was just such a tribute to him for making her feel comfortable like that.
