Friends Fans Are Just Realising Joey's Agent Played More Than One Character

You might call yourself a Friends mega fan, but did you know that Joey's agent, Estelle Leonard, actually had two roles in the sitcom?

Yep, while June Gable of course played chain-smoking acting agent Estelle, she also had another role very early on in the series.

Warner Bros.

Gable also played a nurse during The One With The Birth, where Carol gives birth to Ross' son, Ben. And Gable's character looks so different to the character of Estelle, with the nurse having red hair as opposed to Estelle's blonde.

And Friends fans are blown away after realising, with one taking to Twitter to write: "That moment when you realise the actress who plays Estelle in friends also played the nurse in season 1 episode 23."

While another said: "I was today years old when i found out the nurse that helps deliver ben in friends is also estelle joeys agent."

Warner Bros.

And another added: "Just spotted June Gable as a nurse in a scene with Matt LeBlanc in season 1 of Friends. She comes back later as Joey’s agent Estelle. First time I’ve noticed this Earth-shattering fact."

A fourth tweeted: "Just noticed that June Gable, who played the role of Estelle Leonard (Joey’s agent), appeared in season 1 as a nurse when Carol was giving birth to Ben."

And a fifth added: "Well! Just watched the episode of #Friends where Ben is born, and the attending nurse is played by June Gable who also played Joey’s agent, Estelle! I now need a prize for spotting this."

We can't believe we never noticed this!

Warner Bros.

Did you also know that Sex and The City's Charlotte also appeared in Friends?

Kristin Davis, who played Charlotte in original series and in the recent reboot And Just Like That, also appeared in an episode of Friends and tbh it's blowing our minds.

The actress appears in the episode The One With Ross' Library Book as Erin, a woman with whom Joey had a brief fling with.

Kristin has recently spoken to Today about her experience appearing on the show saying: "Sex and the City was in production, but I was nervous to be the tiny character of Erin, losing sleep, partly because of the live audience, but partly because you’re in this world that has been created that is so alive and so specific and you’re trying to make sure you’re fitting yourself in there properly."
