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.

    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
    • Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.
