The Friends Bubble Began To Burst Around Season 7.

While Friends fans were distraught at the show coming to an end with its tenth season, for those involved, it seems that the show’s cast were preparing to call it a day much earlier. In fact, the season Lin describes working on her book, which would season 7, was probably where things were starting to get harder for everyone, with the cast wanting to go off and do other things.

Lin worked as executive story editor on that season, which culminated in the wedding of Monica and Chandler, but she did not return for season 8. By the time season 10 came around, it was claimed by creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman that many people involved in the show, from cast to crew, were ready to call it a day, with many simply not wanting to return for more.

By the time the series came to an end, there were many other issues surrounding the production of the show, including the massive $1 million per episode pay demands of the cast, and it seems like the ending of Friends after season 10 was the best thing for everyone. While there are still those who long to see a full reunion happen, it is perhaps better if the show retains the legacy it has, as clearly if it had continued, things would have started to go seriously wrong.
