Still Friends! The show will go on
Monday October 21, 2002

The "Friends" cast has said publicly that the current season is the show's last . . . but privately they've made a pact to come back next year!

What's more, sources say David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and Lisa Kudrow will all get whopping $300,000-per-episode pay raises.

They'll each be taking home $1.3 million a week . . . for only 31¼2 days of work.

But the "Friends" stars want to do only 13 episodes next season, as opposed to the usual full order of 22.

And the 13 episodes include a blockbuster one-hour finale to wrap up the season . . . and everyone would be paid double for the finale!

"So far, the only cast member who has not agreed in principle to come back next year is Jennifer Aniston," said an NBC insider.

"Unlike some of the other 'Friends' stars who've tried to get movie careers going but have met with little success, Jennifer has actually been on a roll recently.

"She got good reviews for the movie 'The Good Girl' and is now in demand for some big-budget films.

"But the rest of the cast believes that she'll eventually sign on."

They just need to go ahead and cancel the show. The reason why everybody else wants to stay on is because none of them will ever make this much money again. The only one who has a shot at movie stardom is Jennifer Aniston. I'm sure the others will attempt other TV projects but it's hard for sitcoms to even make it.

I think they should just go out on a high note and not look as if they are greedy and have no other options. They got paid 22 mil this year, isn't that enough already.

They can do another 13 episode season and still stay on top. They r recieving VERY high ratings. Also, they can do it without jennifer. Even though matthew wouldnt be able to do too many becuz of his filming w/TWNY2. but they cud jus do it when hes not working
