During its 10-season run, ‘Friends’ had many iconic episodes, including one in season 6 where the cast enjoyed a dessert prepared by Rachel, resulting in a hilarious but somewhat gross outcome behind the scenes. Matt LeBlanc found himself on the wrong side of things in this memorable moment.
But that wasn’t the only scene LeBlanc wanted to forget; he, alongside David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston, strongly opposed a certain storyline that both the cast and fans had reservations about.
In this article, we’ve got all the details about how a scene with David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston on ‘Friends’ turned into a nightmare for Matt LeBlanc.
The Birth of the Trifle Storyline: A Mistake Behind the Scenes on ‘Friends’
In ‘Friends’ season 6, the trifle storyline became iconic when Rachel accidentally added meat to her dessert. Despite its success, the scene was almost removed for being too outrageous. The idea arose from genuine confusion among the writers about trifle ingredients.
Writer Greg Malins revealed their uncertainty, saying, ‘There’s no way I can write this so that it’s believable.’ The cast’s ability to make even the craziest scenes believable is credited for the show’s success. Joey’s on-screen reaction was fantastic, but behind the scenes, he felt quite differently.
