Deleted Friends scene has people wondering if Rachel and Joey were together for longer

When Rachel and Joey started dating in Friends Season 8, many fans were totally divided, with some loving the romance, while others were completely against it.

The relationship didn't last long, with the pair realising they were better off as just friends, especially considering Rachel's history with Ross.

But now, one deleted scene that's been unearthed by fans has led some to believe that the couple were together for longer. You can watch the scene below:

It's worth noting that while many TikTokers are adamant that the scene is deleted, others believe they've watched it heaps of times on the hit show.

It seems that while it may have been cut in some countries, and on some channels, it remains as part of the series in others.

In the clip, Rachel rushes into the bathroom to tell Joey - who is shaving his face - that Emma (the daughter of Ross and Rachel) had started crawling.

"I'm sorry honey but you've got to come and see this, I'm going to get Monica and Chandler," she says.

Rachel then rushes off to fetch the others and they watch as Emma sits playing with her toys, instead of crawling as Rachel had hoped.

The four decide to try and stand as still as possible so not to scare Emma. At that moment, Phoebe walks in, picks up a bowl and asks: "Who is painting us".

Fans are loving the scene, but some have honed in on the dynamic between Rachel and Joey, with some thinking they seem to be together.

One noted that Rachel calls Joey 'honey' at the beginning of the clip, but some fans pointed out that this isn't necessarily unusual for her character.

One person commented on the video: "Joey and Rachel are together."

While another said: "When I didn’t watch friends and saw this clip on my fyp I thought that Joey and Rachel were dating but it’s just that she calls people honey."

Others were sad that Ross missed the moment, with one user writing: "This is something that Ross deserves to see for the first time and he’s the only one not there. He’s the father!"

In other Friends news, the infamous 'pivot' scene was in fact even more iconic than we first thought.

It turns out it wasn't just us crying with laughter whilst watching, as an unearthed clip has revealed the actors were in stitches while filming, too.
