Yes, it seems that she might not have always ended up marrying ol’ Mikey.
There was another man from her past that could have come and swept her off her feet… But who could it be? That cop guy that blasted that bird?
Or someone that fans already knew and loved?
We all know how Phoebe’s story went.

After dating a few of interesting candidates, she ended up marrying Mike. The all-around nice guy played by all-around nice guy Paul Rudd.
And she deserved it too! Yes, it was a fitting end for her.
And we’re all very happy it happened.

Well… Then you’ll probably be sad to know that it almost didn’t happen!
Yes, David Crane (the guy who co-created the show) recently came out with an interview with the Radio Times .
He explained that if she hadn’t ended up with Mike, she would have ended up with David.

You know, that scientist guy played by Hank Azaria? The one who went off to Minsk?
“There was definitely a possibility of that,” Crane told the Radio Times. “I mean, we didn’t definitively know [who she’d end up with].
He doesn’t even remember why they chose Mike over David.

“I don’t even remember all the pieces that led to where we landed, but yeah, it could have gone the other way. Phoebe would have been great with either one.”
Did you want Phoebe to end up with David? Or were you happy she ended up with Mike?
