The writers found that they had to adjust the characters they had written to suit the actors, and the discovery process of the characters occurred throughout the first season. Kauffman acknowledged that Joey's character became "this whole new being", and that "it wasn't until we did the first Thanksgiving episode that we realized how much fun Monica's neuroses are."<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Friends?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-friendsnewsday-65">[65]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"> <h3 id="Writing">Writing</h3> </div> In the weeks after NBC's pick up of Friends, Crane, Kauffman and Bright reviewed sent-in scripts that writers had originally prepared for other series, mainly unproduced <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Seinfeld?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Seinfeld">Seinfeld</a> episodes.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Friends?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-friendsborn-66">[66]</a> Kauffman and Crane hired a team of seven young writers because "When you're 40, you can't do it anymore. The networks and studios are looking for young people coming in out of college."<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Friends?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-67">[67]</a> The creators felt that using six equal characters, rather than emphasizing one or two, would allow for "myriad storylines and give the show legs."<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Friends?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-friendsorigin2-32">[32]</a> The majority of the storyline ideas came from the writers, although the actors added ideas.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Friends?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-friendswrit-60">[60]</a> Although the writers originally planned the big love story to be between Joey and Monica, the idea of a romantic interest between Ross and Rachel emerged during the period when Kauffman and Crane wrote the pilot script.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Friends?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-friendsorigins1-51">[51]</a> During the production of the pilot, NBC requested that the script be changed to feature one dominant storyline and several minor ones, but the writers refused, wanting to keep three storylines of equal weight.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Friends?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-friendsconcept-59">[59]</a> NBC also wanted the writers to include an older character to balance out the young ones. Crane and Kauffman were forced to comply and wrote a draft of an early episode that featured "Pat the Cop" who would be used to provide advice to the other characters. Crane found the storyline to be terrible, and Kauffman joked, "You know the kids [<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Sic?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Sic">sic</a>] book, <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Pat_the_Bunny?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Pat the Bunny">Pat the Bunny</a>?

The creators did not want Ross and Rachel to get back together so soon, and while looking for a romantic impediment, a writer suggested Joey's romantic interest in Rachel.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Friends?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-joeyrach-68">[68]</a> The storyline was incorporated into the season; however, when the actors feared that the storyline would make their characters unlikable, the storyline was wrapped up, until it again resurfaced in the season's finale. For the ninth season, the writers were unsure about the amount of storyline to give to Rachel's baby Emma Geller-Green, as they wanted the show neither to revolve around a baby nor pretend there to be none.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Friends?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-joeyrach-68">[68]</a> Crane said that it took them a while to accept the idea of a tenth season, which they decided to do because they had enough stories left to tell to justify the season. Kauffman and Crane would not have signed on for an eleventh season, even if all the cast members had wanted to continue.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Friends?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-friendsnewsday-65">[65]</a> The episode title format—"The One ..."<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Friends?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-70">[70]</a>—was created when the producers realized that the episode titles would not be featured in the opening credits, and therefore would be unknown to most of the audience.
