Matthew Perry Prevented Chandler Bing from Cheating on Monica in "Friends," Reveals Former Co-star

Lisa Cash, a guest star on 'Friends', claims she was part of a scrapped storyline in which Perry’s character Chandler Bing was to cheat on his on-screen love interest Monica, played by Courteney Cox. Perry reportedly argued to have the plotline dropped for fear it would jeopardize audience support for his beloved character.

A former 'Friends' guest star, Lisa Cash, claims that Matthew Perry convinced writers to scrap a planned storyline where his character, Chandler Bing, would cheat on Monica.
The plotline was intended to feature the two characters arguing in Las Vegas, with Chandler then connecting with a hotel worker, played by Cash, and ending up cheating on Monica.
Perry reportedly intervened the day before filming, arguing to writers that the audience would not forgive Chandler if he cheated on Monica.
Cash acknowledges that whilst the plotline could have been a career-changing opportunity for her, Perry's decision was likely wise in light of the potential impact on the sitcom's characters and story development.
Cash still featured in the episode, but the rewritten script had her playing the role of a flight attendant in a different subplot.
