As for why Carol, Susan, or even Ben disappeared in later seasons, enthusiasts are lovely positive they have got got that discovered. As Quora commenters observe, rehashing the same old drama between Ross and Rachel and Carol and Susan would have gotten uninteresting, speedy.

She driven her agent to be truthful with the show's producers, as it was only a matter of time prior to the 'secret' could be out anyway.

Jane's honesty ended in her being passed over for the role of Rachel.

And at that time, regardless that she had read the script and used to be hoping to play Carol, manufacturers mentioned 'thanks, but no thanks.'

Later, despite the fact that, Jane comparable, proper after her son was born, 'Friends' wanted her back. The actress they initially forged as Carol, Anita Barone, hand over instantly following the pilot. Multiple resources say she left to pursue extra common paintings.
