Marta Kauffman is looking back on things she wishes she’d done differently on “Friends”. The series co-creator sat down for an interview with BBC World Service’s “The Conversation”, set to air on July 11, and she shared her regret about the portrayal of Chandler’s transgender parent.

That was a mistake.” In the years since, Kauffman’s approach on trans issues has changed in big ways, particularly when it comes to running a set. “I like very much to create an environment where we have a happy set and a happy crew,” she said. “It’s very important to me that where we are is a safe place, a tolerant place, where there’s no yelling.

That just can’t happen.” READ MORE: ‘Friends’ Co-Creator Marta Kauffman ‘Embarrassed’ By The Sitcom’s Lack Of Diversity; Pledges $4 Million For African Studies Kauffman, who most recently co-created the Netflix hit “Grace and Frankie”, has also recently addressed criticism of “Friends”‘ lack of diversity and representation for Black characters, leading her to pledge $4 million to African and African American Studies at Brandeis University in Boston.
