The Original Focus
Initially, the show’s writers intended the show to focus on four characters only: Ross, Monica, Rachel, and Joey. Chandler and Phoebe were meant to be supporting cast members, but they were so well-received by audiences, they were bumped up to main cast members in the end.

Monica Tribbiani?
Although it might be strange to consider now, the show’s writers actually thought about pairing off Monica and Joey. It’s crazy to think that in some alternate universe, Monica and Chandler don’t end up together! In fact, there’s an episode that explores the “what if” of Monica and Joey dating, resulting in a much larger Joey.
