'Friends' director James Burrows says that Emily actor Helen Baxendale was almost recast due to a lack of chemistry with David Schwimmer.
, the 82-year-old revealed that the Emily and Ross relationship didn't play the way everyone was hoping. He indicated that Baxendale had been miscast.
"She was nice, but not particularly funny," Burrows wrote about the guest star ."Schwimmer had no one to bounce off. It was like clapping with one hand." Burrows explained further,"In sitcoms and any type of romantic comedy, the funny is just as important as the chemistry. We discovered that any new girlfriend for Ross needed to be as funny as Rachel."While producers considered recasting Emily, it would have been too difficult to replace Baxendale within the constraints of the show's filming schedule.
"Often, you can't recast, because of tight shooting deadlines or other logistical considerations," Burrows wrote."You need someone who gets laughs. Sometimes you start an arc and it ain't working out, so you have to get rid of that person. If it's a day player, it's a quick goodbye." Burrows explains that, on the other hand,"If there's chemistry, the writers go to work to figure out some way of keeping the actor."
