‘Friends’ Writer Says Cast “Rarely Had Anything Positive To Say” #celebrity #celebritynews #shorts

A former writer on ‘Friends’ said the famous cast “rarely had anything positive to say” when reading the scripts given to them.
Patty Lin, who wrote for ‘Desperate Housewives’ and ‘Breaking Bad,’ revealed all in her memoir End Credits: How I Broke Up With Hollywood.
Lin, who wrote for season 7 of ‘Friends’ from 2000 to 2001, said the excitement of meeting the famous cast “wore off fast.”
“The actors seemed unhappy to be chained to a tired old show when they could be branching out and I felt like they were constantly wondering how every script would specifically serve them. If they didn’t like a joke, they would deliberately tank it, knowing we’d rewrite it,” said Lin.
Lin remembered how “everyone would sit around Monica and Chandler’s apartment and the actors would voice their opinions vociferously.”
“They rarely had anything positive to say and when they brought up problems, they didn’t suggest any feasible solutions. Overall, these sessions had a dire, aggressive quality that lacked all the levity you’d expect from the making of a sitcom,” she wrote.
Lin said Friends “would remain my most recognizable credit, but I didn’t learn much except that I never wanted to work on a sitcom again.”
