Great episode.
brindrobnjak5 January 2020
The scenes with Rachel, Monica, Richard & Ross are just hilarious. Can't imagine how good the actors must've felt shooting them. Middle season 2 is pretty great, and this episode is no exception.

Strange situation!

Warning: Spoilers
Very good episode ... I just want to note one thing: Didn't it seem strange to you, that Ross was in a room about to have sex, and in the next room, was Monica, his sister, in the same situation?

Goodbye Dr Ramorey
slightlymad2211 December 2014
Plot In A Paragraph: Ross gets insecure when Rachel compares him and her former lover Paolo, Monica and Richard talk their individual numbers and elsewhere Chandler finds Eddie (A brilliant Adam Goldberg) is not only not as much fun or as interesting to spend time with as Joey, but he is also prone to mood swings and is very suspicious and his behaviour erratic. Meanwhile Joey manages to upset the writers of 'Days Of Our Lives' when he suggests he writes his own lines during a magazine interview.

There is some great stuff in this episode, mainly revolving around Joey, Chandler and Eddie

The One Where Dr. Ramoray Dies
Lady_Targaryen6 May 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Eddie and Chandler starts to get to know each other, as Phoebe's suggests, but Chandler stays frightened with Eddie's strange behaviors and thinks he is a maniac and less interesting to live then Joey.

Monica stays worried when Richard asks her about how many men she had in her life, since she had MANY more then him. (He only had his ex and Monica!)

Joey does an unnecessary comment for a gossip magazine about his role as Dr. Drake Ramoray, telling that he rewrites some of his dialogs. The soap opera's writer stays angry with that interview, and decides to kill the character Drake as a revenge to Joey.

Ross has a jealous crisis when he knows that Rachel had 'animal sex' with Paolo.

The One Where Joey Writes His Dialogues
devashishparnami10 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Chandler finds out Eddie is not only much less fun then Joey, but positively crazy and frighteningly suspicious and inconsistent. Ross is stressing out to learn Rachel had 'animal sex' with Paolo; Richard and Monica are uncomfortable to learn she is only his second lover, he the last in a long row; there's a logistical dilemma for both couples' make up-sex. After Joey told a TV digest he 'rewrites some of his dialogues', an insulted scenarist writes his character, Dr. Drake Ramoray, to fall to his death, ending his Days of Our Lives career.

The One Where Dr. Ramoray Dies
ComedyFan201020 June 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Chandler gets to know Eddie more and what he finds out doesn't make him happy since Eddie is kind of crazy. And this is very well played by Adam Goldberg, he is very intenser and give his character a kind of creepiness that one understands why Chandler is a bit disturbed by him very well.

We also get to see some couple trouble between Monica and Richard, and Rachel and Ross when they discuss their past sex life. A pretty good idea to include it into the show. And then we get a few laughs when Monica and Rachel discuss who gets the last condom while Ross and Richard wait for them. I liked the awkward silence and how Ross tried to break it by discussing Richard's mustache. The best is of course the last scene where both of them meet each other at the bathroom wearing Monica's and Rachel's bathrobes. Hilarious!

And I liked Joey's death scene on DOOL. He really didn't care about acting and was showing how upset he is.

Joey v. the writers
safenoe14 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The idea of the writers of Joey's soap opera killing off his character was kind of real to life, and made me chuckle due to the power of writers to kill of a character they don't like for whatever reason.

Bit weird in parts
pandora-3218230 September 2021
Funny episode and doesn't disappoint but the scene with Monica and Ross both wanting to have sex with their partners in rooms next to each other was uncomfortable to watch. I know siblings can be close but this was just weird.

Adam Goldberg steals this episode
studioAT28 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
With Ross and Rachel being a couple by this stage, and Monica being paired up with Richard (guest star Tom Selleck) it made sense for the two couples to have an episode where they are together.

It's a shame then that their storyline doesn't really work, and both the males are stood around waiting while the girls barter over condoms.

The other major story line featuring Phoebe and Chandler (along with psychotic roommate Eddie, played to perfection by Adam Goldberg) is far more interesting.

And of course poor old Joey gets killed off in 'Days of Our Lives', in a way only Joey could go.

A good episode.
