Friends star Lisa Kudrow says she doesn’t want any more episodes after happy ending

It's the reunion that fans of the iconic sitcom Friends have been waiting for for the last 17 years.

But it would appear that the unscripted special will remain a one-off after Lisa Kudrow admitted she doesn't want the storylines to continue.

The 57-year-old actress who plays Phoebe Buffay confessed to James Corden that the show ended "very nicely" and she doesn't want that to be ruined by creating a new series or a movie.

During a chat on Friends: The Reunion Special, James asked the star if it has crossed her mind to be a part of any further storylines.

And the actress replied: "No. I’m sorry I haven’t because that’s all up to Marta [Kauffman] and David [Krane] and I once heard them say - and I completely agree - that they ended the show very nicely.

"Everyone’s lives are very nice and they would have to unravel all those good things in order for there to be stories and yeah I don’t want anyone’s happy ending unravelled!"

She went on to admit that her character's persona is also something that just wouldn't sit well with her now she is older.

"Also, at my age to be floppy? Just stop! You have to grow up!" she added, as her co-stars laughed.

James then went on to ask Lisa, along with Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry where they think their characters would be now.

"Let’s say we get married," Jennifer said to David, referring to Rachel Green and Ross Geller.

"I think we had some kids and you still play with bones!" she added, as David reminded her it's called "palaeontology".

Courteney also admitted that her character Monica Geller hasn't lost any of her competitive edge since the show last aired, with husband Chandler Bing still "making me laugh every day".

"I think Monica is still really competitive, her kids are probably graduated but she’s still in charge of the baking sale at elementary school, she’s gotta keep things going!" the actress said.

Speaking about her character, Lisa said: "Phoebe’s married to Mike. They’re probably in Connecticut and they had kids and I think she was probably the advocate for her kids who are a little different, and all the kids that are a little different, creating the arts program and the music thing and all that."

Last but not least, James asked Matt where he thinks Joey Tribiani would be now and he simply replied: "I think he probably opened a sandwich shop in Venice Beach!"
