Denise Richards as Cassie Geller – Then
Cassie is Ross and Monica’s beautiful cousin who comes to visit them one day. She was initially supposed to stay with Chandler and Monica but after Chandler couldn’t stop staring at her, Monica sends her to Ross’ place. Unfortunately, Ross can’t help but stare at her as well, and initially, she thinks he’s just trying to imitate Chandler and tells him he’s doing a great job of it.
There’s an awkward situation when they’re watching a movie and drinking wine together later. He misinterprets her intentions and tries to kiss her, but she’s horrified and expresses her disgust and anger. She eventually goes to Phoebe’s place but even she can’t help but be mesmerized by her beauty.
