Was there any inclusion of Ross' son in his failed wedding disaster in London? I don't remember his being mentioned. I dont know, but I think there isn't enough realistic mention or inclusion of his son in the show. I know he doesn't have custody, but the show doesn't seem to show the responsibility of a single father very well. Just my opinion...

Creepy- I was just thinking about that ten minutes ago- weird, eh? I don't think he WAS there, because who would have been looking after him? I do think it is weird that a guy as sweet as Ross would be such a sucky father- he seems to kind of forget about Ben... Angela

During the time when that show was current, one of the show's writers visited our board regularly. This was Michael Curtis, known to us as MNL. He was asked about this, and replied that Susan, Carol, and Ben were all at the London wedding. They were not, however, important to the story, so we didn't see them. The idea is that we should not assume something hasn't happened in their world just because we don't see it - and that he thought we were nitpicking too much.

My guess is they do not feature Ben much because it is very hard to write realistic, funny sitcom children. Either they end up being insufferable little mini-adults, or they come out silent and sullen like Ben is. This is one reason why I have absolutely no enthusiasm whatsoever for a Chandler/Monica baby.

And that was *then*, if he was still a writer for Friends I doubt we'd see much of him these days.

I think a plot involving Chandler trying to work out how exactly he goes about being a father to the newborn might be hilarious. However we've seen Chandler with babies before and besides one episode does not make a major plotline.
