Excluded: Friends inspired by Hélène and the boys? “It’s 100% bullshit” say the creators

But don't expect to have an answer to the biggest mystery of Friends : the name and nature of Chandler's profession. “ He's a transponser! », Crane jokes, referring to the episode where Rachel and Monica lose their apartment during a quiz. “ We never actually knew! », continues Kauffman. “ When we initially pitched the character, we said that Chandler Bing went to his little office every day and that it didn't matter what he did there. But all we knew was that he hated his job! “, concludes Crane.

See you on newsstands this April 3 to discover our special edition Friendswhich returns in a hundred pages to the unparalleled pop-cultural phenomenon that the series was (and still is).
