It appears that Matthew Perry is staying with C & D on and off, what with Jen partically living with them when she isn't right next door, if Courteney had any sense she'd be charging rent, as making a few buck is after all the American way. Plus as the house only has two bedroom, I wonder where MP sleeps, unless they have changed the rear music room into a guest bedroom.

Chris, why would CCA charge her best friends rent?? That's just stupid and they clearly don't need the money. You look for something sinister in everything. ~~~ Kathy

True, but a few extra bucks is still a few extra buck as, and it would be a polite gesture to C & D for the inconvenience of being put up.
Of course I do, I'm English, and we are not as trusting as you American's seem to be.
She is very lonely so give her a break. That's what Friends do: they help each other. Jen is heartbroken, cheated upon and you just keep bitching. Give the woman a break.
Just taxes in George W. pocket.
Say what? You guys trusted Tony Blair when he said there were chemical weapons and see where it got you. Talk about being naive! No, let Courteney just help her friends. Maybe she'll be an influence in convincing them to make another friends thanksgiving episode like she said in the New York Daily Newspaper.
Thanks, Lambik. My sentiments exactly. Friends are there for each other in bad times and good times --- no money involved. Emotional support is what's involved here and genuine love and friendship for another person.
Sounds like the "English" are just a bunch of greedy be-atchs who would take advantage of a friend regardless of what's going on with them. Very, very sad. God, I'm proud to be an American! ~~~ Kathy

I'm sure David Arquette would agree with you, especially when he finds Courteney is spending more time with Jen then with him. As for 'emotional support' sheesh Jen is a mature woman not a baby, she should stop behaving like a whinny little girl and get on with her life. Brad is gone and she should realize that.
No, we are a pragmatic and realistic nation. And not a nation of over analyzing navel gazers like America is. We support friends in need, but the person has to get over it and get on with their life as life goes on. it's a lesson American's don't know about as the rest of us live in the real world.
See above.
Friendship and support has no age limits or age requirements. Everyone needs support in their lives at one time or another, regardless of their age or gender.

To the extent that it is interfering in the other womans marriage?
She brought it upon herself.
And why is that SO wrong?? Can't Jennifer have dreams and ambition, too? Or is it because she's a "woman" that she has to be home barefoot and pregnant??? ~~~ Kathy

Dreams are alright to have but she forgot that ambition has to go with the relevant talent. And Jen hasn't got it to be a movie star, as she is a TV actress, where as Brad is a movie star.
No, but in persuit of her 'ambition' to be a movie star, she has thrown her marriage away, and her biological clock is winding down, so she'll probably end up childless as well. Plus she is becoming so clingy to Courteney her marriage is also being indirectly affected by Jen.
How so? She was married to Brad Pitt and had a #1 TV show, plus several big box office movies. Yea, she was real unsatisfied.....
Yes, she has the talent to be as big a "movie star" as she wants to be. She's already proven she can do dramatic work just as successfully as comedic work.
She didn't throw her marriage away. Brad did. Plus, her biological clock is NOT winding down by no means. Scores of women are having children later in life. Courteney did and she's older than Jennifer. ~~~ Kathy

She can't hold a major A movie, as all her work is in mostly B movies and as a supporting actress. Brad can hold a major A movie, as he has screen presence and Jen does not.
Well being a woman you would say that.
Sure and she could have a baby aged 50, and when the child is 20 she's be 70. Get real Kathy.

It's a realistic point of view, but then I don't expect you to see it.
She can be as 'optimistic' as she want's, as she is a thespian and optimism is ingrained into their profession, but in reality the background crew who made Friends will by now have scattered and gone on to new projects. So, at the the end of the day, it's doutful wheather it'll happen.

Yes. Rent equals income. Income equals tax. Is that so hard to follow?
Says who? I'm Dutch.

First of all I presume most of them went to the Joey show. Secondly who gives a rats ass whether the carpenter went on with is life. There are plenty others who are just as qualified to hit a nail in a piece of wood. The team of writers fluctuated during the show so there were probably like 50 of them. I'm sure they can rally up a few of them. Martha and David wrote most of the important scenes anyway. Since Monica and Chandler moved they need a new set anyway, so I guess nothing is impossible. The only thing needed is the will to do it.

A person is allowed a mourning period. She got separated recently. Add up the time that the relationship was in trouble. You'll get half a year easily.
Joey is taping there for crying out loud. They got all the time they want. And believe me, NBC is happy to air another taping. They'll get more viewers in one episode than Joey has grossed all year.

'Mourning period', oh come on, the marriage was over months ago. Her mourning period is turning out to be a drawn out affair, and is putting strains on Courteneys marriage as well.
Maybe, but the team that made friends is gone, and the audience has moved on as well, any special will be just going over old ground. friends like Jens marriage is over, live with it.

If a woman would have said it I would take it as a compliment. Knowing you, you probably didn't mean it that way.
What? Are just counting the last ten year? The English are a bloodthirsty bunch. In my lifetime (and I'm 35) you guys fought more wars then that. Two times Iraq, Afghanistan, Falklands and I'm not even counting Northern Ireland and Cyprus. And I'm sure I forgot a few. Hell, you guys are only preceded by the Americans.
Crap! The period that you try to save your marriage doesn't count. Although others might think that your struggle is in vain, that doesn't mean you think so.
It is well documented that Courteny, after Coco was born, had a postnatal depression. She was kept on her feet by Coco and David. If anyone can appreciate having a hard time it's her.
What is important is a thriving force. Cameramen can be replaced.

Your country i.e the Netherlands i.e. Holland i.e. you the Dutch have fought 3 wars with my country i.e. England.
Nope.
The First Anglo Dutch War (1652-1654) The Second Anglo Dutch War (1664-1667) The Third Anglo Dutch War (1672-1674)
Yep, because all the world hates us. We are an island nation, and we have changed the world, and founded the modern world, and the rest of the world resents us for what we have achieved.
Ulster was a police action, Cyprus was a police action. The Falklands war was us fighting for the islanders to get the invading force out. Iraq, was to support the UN ruling after saddam invaded Kuwait and to secure oil supplies, and throughout history we fought 4 wars in Afghanistan.
Try to save her marriage, bollocks, Jen wanted to be a movie star more then a wife and mother.
And having Jen pestering her sure isn't helping her. And if Courteney is so like that she shouldn't be thinking of having another baby. As for David, he is to immature to be the tower of strength you are implying. Sure he's all supportive and all that, but, lets see what he's like if times were tough and he had to hold down a job.
The audience has moved on, Friends Part 2 just isn't going to happen.

Jennifer and Courteney are best friends and that's what you do for friends, you help them out in a time of need. I'm sure if the situation was reversed, Jennifer would do the same for Courteney.

I have no interest to 'move in' with her. As for them 'going to slip up' I still give their marriage 5 years before trouble happens, and we stiil have a couple of more years to go.
Where have you read (no wait, I know where).....never mind.
How would you know what Courteney is made of? Courteney hasn't been placed in the situation that Jen's in, so neither you OR Courteney wouldn't know how she would react.
