I've not heard this, but it sounds intriguing.

Phoebe Buffay--Phoebe Tyler Wallingford

Ross Gellar--Ross was a character related to Palmer and Adam, Gellar=Sarah Michelle?

Monica Gellar--can't figure this one out

Chandler Bing--Obviously the Chandlers are a big family on AMC

Joey Tribbiani--no connection here either, other than Jake used to be Joey

Rachel Greene--Janet Green?

Help. :P

Yeah, but they still managed to make that episode when Joey tried out for the role of Nick the boxer while he was teaching acting. Hilarious!

And then when he was fired from DAYS, Gunther told him he got killed off of AMC.

The A&E Bio on AMC I believe said that the creators of Friends were huge AMC fans and did it on purpose

"I know that the creators of FRIENDS were big AMC fans. They even wanted Joey to get his soap acting job on AMC but NBC wouldn't allow them to use a rival network soap like they used DAYS. "

I remember someone on here said once that if they had made him go on AW (which actually filmed in New York so woulda made sense) it woulda become so popular it would have never been canceled LOL

I don't think Friends caused this huge amount of additional viewers of popularity for DAYS so I don't think it would of helped AW.

I was thinking that the same Monica could of been chosen because it you combined two characters from AMC - Mona and Erica you get Monica.

Interesting, Mona+Erica=Monica. I was thinking maybe that was their one GH reference.

I don't think Joey being on either soap would have helped with ratings, but for the sake of accuracy, it would have been nice to see him on Another World. At least AW got a shout out on The Golden Girls. :P

The main characters from the show Friends are named after All My Children characters.

Ross for Ross Chandler

Joey for Joey Martin

Chandler for the Chandler family

Monica for Monique/Daisy Cortland

Rachel (Karen) Green for Janet "from another planet" Green

Phoebe for Phoebe Tyler Wallingford

In an episode of Friends Joey auditions for the part of a boxer on All My Children.

Season 2 episode 19 of Friends, the character Gunther claims to have played Bryce on All My Children.

In another episode of Friends, Monica and Chandler become friends with a couple named Greg and Jenny.

    • Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy! 
    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
    • Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.

    • That is a specific example where I would agree with those fans so I would be critical of the execs doing so. I frankly think that "caring" in this regard is not conducive to dialog. Basically you point out its very subjective nature. What is caring to one person might be callous disregard to another. I suggest it is a trap & we fell in it!
