He accused the actors of deliberately destroying the script by rejecting jokes suggested by the writers and forcing them to rewrite lines over and over again.
Ex-screenwriter and producer Petty Lin, who worked on TV series Desperate Housewives, Let the coast and cult series friends, said the cast was “unhappy” with the sitcom that aired their names, the NYpost wrote.
Lin said his career began as a screenwriter for Friends in July 2000. The premiere of the series took place in 1994, so at that time it was the seventh season, and the actors Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow and Matt Leblanc became famous person.
“Actors seem unhappy about being locked into an outdated series while they can develop, and I feel like they’re constantly asking themselves how each particular script can help them,” Lin said.
He accused the actors of deliberately destroying the script by rejecting jokes suggested by the writers and forcing them to rewrite lines over and over again.
“They rarely say anything positive, and when they do bring up issues, they don’t offer real solutions. Seeing themselves as guardians of their characters, they often say they don’t will do or say this or that. Sometimes it helps, but in general, these sessions have the horrible, aggressive nature that one would expect from a sitcom production,” added the writer.
He said the show’s writers were “more supportive” than any other show he’s done. They walked towards the artists.
“Mostly, we talked about sex just for fun. What birth control did we use? Did we have sex on our period? Did we fall asleep during sex? When I answered no to the last question, one of the writers joked : “Because you’re single,” added Lin.
Remember that earlier the heroes of the series Friends talked about the reunion.
