HelpRe: How strong is Chandler's connection to the sitcom character?
in reply to a message by Francisinfp5w4
As Matthew Perry just passed, I'd say the connection is pretty strong.
That said, the show has been off the air for nearly twenty years, so when the collective public consciousness moves beyond Perry's death, I think it would be less associated with the character. I don't think it will fully dissipate until Friends has faded more into the cultural past, but I think, as Friends remains very popular (the current outpouring of sorrow in the wake of Perry's death demonstrates this), that won't happen for some time.
