I believe you're wrong about that! I'm pretty sure John Aniston guest starred in at least one episode of Friends when Joey's storyline of him playing Dr. Drake Remoray on a soap opera (and I believe it was Day Of Our Lives too! The same one that the late John Aniston starred in for several years!) was going on.

But let's reverse that, the late John Aniston (father) starred in the daytime drama Days Of Our Lives for many years, but Jennifer Aniston (daughter) never appeared on an episode of Day Of Our Lives.

You’re reversal works but I stand by that John Anniston was never on Friends.

I guess you're right and I'm wrong, I can't find anything now saying that John Aniston appeared in an episode of Friends even though I could swear he had! Maybe it was a different actor. I could swear some actor from Days Of Our Lives appeared in an episode or two of Friends when Joey's storyline of playing Dr. Drake Remoray was happening. Or maybe I'm thinking of a different show, I don't know!

You might be thinking of Allison Sweeney, who’s known for Days and also did a Friends ep playing a soap star.

Yeah that's probably what I'm thinking of, thanks.

Not counting those who died before the show launched, Alexis Arquette did not appear on (sister) Patricia Arquette's "Medium".

Siblings Rosanna and David Arquette guested, as well as her then husband Tom Jane.
