Dr Knox told reputed news daily that when the makers were first thinking of the storyline that involved Rachel and Joey having feelings for each other, Matt expressed his discomfort. She also said that the actors were so engrossed in their characters that Matt objected the storyline saying that Joey would never do this. He said that Joey is many things, he’s a Casanova, he’s too much into food, but he’s a loyal friend. He would never get with Rachel knowing how much it’ll hurt Ross.

She also revealed that Matt wasn’t the only member from the cast who disliked the storyline. Jennifer Aniston too wasn’t a fan of it. The author of the book I’ll Be There for You: The One About Friends, Kelsey Miller said that Jennifer wanted the characters to have a purely physical relationship. In her book, she wrote that the arc of the show will go from risky to unwatchable if Joey and Rachel had an emotional relationship. She added that it had to be a crush and it had to be on the comic side. However, all ended well as the cast remains friends with one another even today.
