James "Jimmy" Burrows, a renowned sitcom director, revealed in his memoir that Emily, one of Ross Geller's Love Interests in Friends, was the most unfunny romantic foil he had worked with. Burrows believed that the comedic chemistry between the actors was just as important as the romantic chemistry in sitcoms. He stated that Emily's actress, Helen Baxendale, was "nice but not particularly funny," making it difficult for David Schwimmer's character to have someone to bounce off of. Burrows emphasized the importance of finding someone who gets laughs in the guest star girlfriend role.
