Friends star Maggie Wheeler has admitted that she is disappointed that Janice never hooked up with Joey (Matt LeBlanc).

During the course of the show, Janice famously had an on-off relationship with Chandler (Matthew Perry) - but also briefly dated Ross (David Schwimmer).



However, Wheeler told Digital Spy that she was hoping for Janice to end up in bed with Joey as well.

"Yes [I'm upset]!" she said. "Absolutely. When Matt LeBlanc had his show Joey, I strongly suggested to the producers that they should bring me on. I think it was her last stone unturned."

Asked what the couple would be like, she replied: "Janice and Joey? Great for her - hell for him!"

Elsewhere, Wheeler admitted that the moment when the audience discovers that Janice has slept with Ross was her favourite surprise entrance.



"The audience had no idea - absolutely no idea - that I was coming," she said. "Whenever Janice appeared on the show I was always kept a secret up until the last moment, so they would put screens up and hide me. The audience had no idea until I actually walked through the door.

"Usually when you're watching, you can see an actor standing off-stage before they walk through a door, because there's a little gap between this set and that set, but when I came on they kept a black curtain over that gap so that nobody could see me. The very first entrance I always made was a surprise to the audience, and on that episode, the audience was so incredibly shocked that the reaction went on for [what] felt like ten minutes."

She added: "Every entrance I made on that show, I was aware, 'Don't get used to this - there's no other way in the world that you can make an entrance onto a set and have that much noise happen'."

But asked whether she thought Ross or Chandler was better in bed, she replied: "It's got to be Bing-a-Ling!"

Friends fans in the UK can watch the show on Comedy Central.
