Friends, the Primetime Emmy Award-winning sitcom has featured several popular cameos during its run. From Brad Pitt to Bruce Willis, popular appearances became a trademark of the 10-season-long show. Even though some of the cameos did create a bit of discomfort for the cast, the strategy still proved to be advantageous for the makers. Faris was one of the last special appearances on the show who played the recurring role of Erica, the mother of Chander and Monica’s twins.
The actress portrayed a dull and laughable pregnant woman from Ohio, who was confused throughout. In “The Last One” Erica gave birth to Mondler’s twins, giving a closure to the story of the best couple in Friends. The couple also named their daughter after Erica, further signifying her role in their lives.
