Remember David Schwimmer’s British wife on ‘Friends’? Show director sure does, calls actress Helen Baxendale ‘not funny’
31.08.2023 - 07:11 / nypost.com
the Daily Mail reported. Director James Burrow had a lot to get off his chest when he admitted that UK actress Helen Baxendale, who played Emily Waltham in 14 episodes of the show, couldn’t gel with other cast members because she wasn’t as comedic.
“She was nice but not particularly funny,” Burrow said.“In sitcoms and any type of romantic comedy, the funny is just as important as the chemistry,” he continued.Baxendale joined the iconic sitcom, which first aired on Sept. 1994, during its fourth season.She played an integral role on the show as the girlfriend and fiancée of David Schwimmer’s character, Ross.
Ross mistakenly said his ex Rachel’s name instead of Emily’s during their wedding in the Season 4 finale, dooming the on-screen relationshipIn earlier seasons, Schwimmer’s Ross was in a relationship with Jennifer Aniston’s lead character, Rachel.Burrow claimed Baxendale’s so-called “nice” demeanor just didn’t cut it for him, where he made the point in emphasis that “any new girlfriend for Ross needed to be as funny as Rachel.”“Schwimmer had no one to bounce off. It was like clapping with one hand,” Burrow said.“You need someone who gets laughs.
Sometimes you start an arc and it ain’t working out, so you have to get rid of that person. If it’s a day player, it’s a quick goodbye.”But soon enough, after only appearing in Seasons 4 and 5, Baxendale called it quits after she became pregnant with her first child and moved back to the UK.Since then, she spoke about her tenure on “Friends” with the Sunday Mirror in 2012, describing her time on the show as a “strange surreal little blip in my life.”“People expect because it is called ‘Friends’ that everyone was great friends, but they were real professionals,” Baxendale
