Phoebe changed

Anyone notice Phoebe is a lot sneakier/nastier, lies more in the later seasons... Comments?

I've noticed that too; hard to imagine the current Phoebe showing the unimpeachable integrity that the earlier one showed. It's very unfortunate.

I agree. Phoebe's the queen of mean and loving every minute of it. How this has come about I can't say. Possibly because Kudrow was getting bored and wanted to spice her up a bit. I've said it before but I really believe the change in her character is too much and has made her a very unpleasant Friend. Some people I've debated this with previously actually prefer the new Phoebe and think it has has made her more believable/credible etc. I guess all I can say my loss is their gain :(
