Little-Known Details About the Hit Show Friends

Joey and Monica Were Meant to Be More Than Friends

Just like in life, sometimes things don't turn out quite how you expect. This was certainly the case for Monica and Joey's characters, who the writers originally had very different plans for. Instead of Monica ending up with Chandler, the original plan was for Monica and Joey to enter into a long-term romantic relationship. However, somewhere along the way, the showmakers decided that it simply wasn't meant to be. In one episode, we were given a glimpse into how life could have been if Monica and Joey had ended up together, with Joey gaining weight and Monica waiting on him hand and foot.
