Matthew Perry and Maggie Wheeler’s iconic love affair

Among all the romantic interests Matthew Perry portrayed throughout his time on Friends, his most enduring and unforgettable one was with Maggie Wheeler. Known for her trademarks, “OH MY GOD” and her frequent staged returns in Chandler’s life, she is also the girlfriend whose comebacks were unappreciated but anticipated at the same time.

For the Friends fanbase, this partnership was way ahead of the time as it managed to conquer smiling faces through their disruptive relationship. Janice’s name inevitably conjures her goofy, distinctive nasal voice in the recesses of our thoughts. Although their exaggerated love life finally did get on the nerves, that’s only for the screen. For the reel cannot become the real and real cannot defy the reel.
