However according to Crane, who co-wrote the show with Marta Kauffman, the pair were never supposed to become more than friends.
The characters, played by Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow between 1994 and 2004, flirted with each other throughout the series, with Joey even proposing at one point as he thought Phoebe was pregnant.
