Friends’ Courteney Cox Reveals What Monica Would Be Doing Today
She played the beloved character for 10 seasons.
To mark the 30th anniversary of Friends, the show’s cast has been looking back on the hit sitcom, including Courteney Cox, who revealed what she thinks Monica Geller would be up to in 2024.
The actor recently discussed the show’s 30-year milestone with People. “It’s just insane to me because it feels like time, it goes so fast and I don’t realize it,” Cox said of the show’s anniversary. “We used to say, ‘Oh, I can’t wait for this month’ or ‘god, it feels like forever.’ I would never say that line anymore.”
When asked about the character of Monica, who she played for 10 seasons on Friends, Cox joked, “Monica is alive and well. Are you kidding?”
The actor also confessed that, while she hasn’t seen the show “in a little while,” she “can’t help but watch” whenever she comes across it.
“That show is incredible. Every joke holds up, all the characters are just so amazing, and we [had] the best writers in the world,” she added. “I’m lucky that it continues on through all the generations. And that’s very fortunate.”
Friends debuted on Sept. 22, 1994, and ran for 10 years, with the final episode airing on May 6, 2004.
The One With The Friends Reboot
Friends creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane also marked the show’s anniversary during a recent appearance on the Today show. They said they’re often pitched ideas for a reboot.
“We get that a lot,” Kauffman said. “I get emails about it all the time. Everybody has a great idea, and the great idea is: their kids, grown-up, doing a Friends show.” But despite fan’s enthusiasm, the pair aren’t keen on the idea. “Oh, no. No, no, no,” Crane said when asked about it.
Cox echoed Crane’s comments in her recent People interview. “It’s hard to try to redo anything,” she said.
