Matthew Perry's Intervention Prevents Chandler from Cheating on Monica in 'Friends'

Friends star Matthew Perry reportedly convinced the show's writers to scrap a storyline in which Chandler would have cheated on Monica with a hotel worker, saving the couple from a cheating scandal that could have rivaled Ross and Rachel's. The decision was made because Perry believed the audience would never forgive his character for cheating on Monica. The episode ultimately ended with Chandler and Monica resolving their fight and planning to elope. Lisa Cash, the guest star who was supposed to play the hotel worker, praised Perry's decision and enjoyed working with him. Perry's unexpected death at 54 has prompted an outpouring of grief from his Friends co-stars and fans worldwide.
