In The One with the Cooking Class Rachel and Ross begin to stress over the birth of the baby. Given that the only baby supplies they own were courtesy of Rachel’s “impromptu” baby shower, Ross suggests the duo head to a “really cute baby store” on West 10th St. to remedy the situation. It’s at Little Stars that they encounter Katie (Sofer), an extremely pretty and flirty salesgirl. She’s impressed that paleontologist Ross is “like Indiana Jones,” as they purchase almost everything in the store.
“That was a lot of fun,” Sofer told me of her Friends experience. “A lot of times when you do a sitcom at night, you’re there for a long time shooting and re-shooting it, but with that show it had been on so long it went very fast. No one really cared about anyone but the central cast members, so you would shoot your stuff and leave.
“It was one of the easiest jobs ever,” she continued. “And David (Schwimmer) and Jennifer (Aniston) were so much fun. It was a great experience.”
