She called it devastating at the time.

But sure, look, a year later, she got friends.

She became Phoebe.

It didn't really matter.

Yeah.

I think in other interviews, Burroughs had said that her performance was kind of too ethereal or something opposite Kelsey Grammar, that that's why it didn't kind of work out in the end.

I was just about to say, I can't imagine her as Roz.

So this is one of those ones where I'm like, that worked out in the end.

That was a sliding door moment that worked out for you, definitely.

So Sweet D is played by Caitlin Olsen in the iteration that we know.

And Caitlin Olsen, as we most will know, is married to Rob McElhenney, one of the other stars of the show.

But it was almost Rob McElhenney's original girlfriend that made the role of Sweet D. This is like so, so messy.

So this is Jordan Reed.

She played a very different iteration of the characters.

They had originally filmed a pilot in her apartment.

Then FX came snooping around and hired them to reshoot the episode for consideration for the show to be picked up.

And they'd all kind of made this pact, the four original stars, so her and the three other lads, that they would all stay together.

They would only do it if they were all signed up.

But in the midst of this, herself and Rob McElhenney are essentially breaking up.

They ended up going off shooting the pilot and everything else.
