Friends’ BTS Emily Problem Repeated A Seinfeld Dilemma

Friends director James Burrows has revealed on-set difficulties with the Emily character that surprisingly mirror a behind-the-scenes problem from the making of Seinfeld. Burrows is a prolific TV director whose sitcom credits include episodes of Cheers, Taxi, Will & Grace, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and, of course, Friends. In his memoir Directed By James Burrows, Burrows has revealed some behind-the-scenes secrets from the making of Friends – including the revelation that Emily polarized the cast and crew just as much as she polarized the fan base.
