After a night of frustration, Monica and Chandler decide to share some drinks and end up together in the bedroom. When they wake up in the same bed the next morning, the audience erupted in applause and cheers for 27 seconds.
According to the portal Vulture, the show’s writers did not initially plan to make Courteney Cox’s and Matthew Perry’s characters a couple, but the positive reception from the fans made them change their minds.
Writer and producer Scott Silveri recalled: “The first time, I was around a monitor watching the actors perform. And when Monica came out from under the covers, there was an explosion from the audience.”
Chandler and Monica are considered the best couple of the series, which aired for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004 on NBC.
