However, in the episode, Monica (played by Courteney Cox) went to lunch with her ex-boyfriend, Dr. Richard Burke, following an altercation. Chandler became agitated and requested room service in the original screenplay. He had a conversation with a hotel employee, played by Lisa Cash, and ended up cheating on Monica. But, shortly before filming in front of a live audience, Chandler's actor, Matthew Perry, met with the show's creators.
He stated that if his character cheated on Monica, the public would be outraged. As a result, they altered the plot. "We had rehearsed it and everything, and then the day before we were shooting in front of a live audience, I was told that [Matthew] went to the writers and said the audience would never forgive him for cheating on Monica," Lisa Cash told TMZ on November 6. "He was probably right." That may have altered the direction of the play and his character."
