<p>Art reflects life, despite life not being artistic. It is about the prescription, vision and the use of one&#8217;s creativity makes the work artistic. Friends, aired in 1994, is one such artistic show that made the simple, and day-to-day lives of 6 friends relatable to the viewers with the utmost creativity. The sitcom brought joy to viewers and the cast, including Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Courteney Cox, and Matt LeBlanc, loved it.</p>
<p>The reason fans love the show with the utmost dedication has something to do with how the show creators approach the plots. Once, <strong>they got the news about Kudrow&#8217;s life, and got inspired by it to create a plot line, especially for the actress</strong>.</p>
<h2>How did Lisa Kudrow inspire an entire plot of Friends?</h2>
<p>Being an actress, there come a lot of responsibilities along with many other changes that are almost inevitable. Therefore, when surprising news came to the <em>P.S. I Love You</em> actress&#8217; way, she immediately shared it with the showmakers and the cast. Among the group of 6 actors, Kudrow was the first one to get married. Therefore, <strong>when the now 60-year-old actress found out she was pregnant, the showmakers created a plot line to incorporate the news. </strong>They celebrated the actress, as <a href="https://www.thelist.com/430908/this-friends-storyline-was-inspired-by-lisa-kudrows-real-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Warren Littlefield, NBC President, admitted it to The List</a>.</p>
<div class="flex-video widescreen youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Friends: Phoebe Agrees to Be a Surrogate (Season 4 Clip) | TBS" width="1170" height="658" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4LhsBQSspRw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>Littlefield also went on to say how they did not want to create a show where the actress would go around carrying a box in front of her belly for 9 months. However, showcasing Phoebe Buffay being pregnant was a lot more challenging, as she was not dating anyone at that point in the show. So, <strong>they created the plot where Phoebe agreed to be the surrogate for her brother&#8217;s baby in season 4</strong>. As David Crane also once pointed out; it was indeed an unexpected and different way to go around the plot. But the story&#8217;s never-before-seen factor made it even more interesting.</p>

<p>Kauffman thanked both Kudrow and the writers for representing the story of pregnancy perfectly. She admitted the surrogacy plot would never have come to existence if it was not for <em>The Comeback</em> actress. All the cast members also celebrated this big news by showering love on the unborn while huddling before the shoots began. Did you know <em>The One With Phoebe&#8217;s Uterus</em> also has one more interesting plot that revolutionized women&#8217;s pleasures?</p>
<h2>How did The One With Phoebe&#8217;s Uterus revolutionize women&#8217;s pleasures?</h2>
<p>In this episode, where Phoebe agreed to be his brother&#8217;s surrogate, Chandler had his own problems with his love life. He was head over heels in love with his girlfriend, Kathy, who was previously Joey&#8217;s girlfriend. Understandably so, Chandler was afraid to be intimate with her and asked for help from Monica and Rachel. That&#8217;s when the revolution began. <strong>Monica made Chandler understand how the female body felt and <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-revisiting-monicas-iconic-speech-about-7-erogenous-zones-for-females-in-friends-season-4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained the 7 erogenous zones</a></strong>.</p>
<div class="flex-video widescreen youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Friends: Seven, Seven, Seven! (Clip) | TBS" width="1170" height="658" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3NLVior-nLs?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>By understanding the female body and its energy, Chandler could please his girlfriend. Hence, this specific episode became one of the most-loved episodes and received a lot of praise. Well, the showmakers got what they wanted by providing what fans needed.<strong> While they catered to the most emotional moment of an actor&#8217;s life with the utmost care to fans, fans returned that debt by loving the show with all their hearts</strong>.</p>
