Since the reunion special seems to focus on all six friends returning to the same room, we don't know if we can expect any other appearances Certainly, we'd be horrified to hear if Janice (Maggie Wheeler) still has the characteristic laugh that irritated Chandler when he wasn't in love with her, but that's more of a reach than a certainty
We would also like to see Gunther (James Michael Tyler) again, beyond the "What Happened to Gunther from Friends?" videos that litter YouTube
