[Bob Jersey]

Not one of the main cast, but Emily, Ross' eventual wife... Helen Baxendale "was nice, but not particularly funny" compared to, say, Aniston...

The memoir was published in June 2022 - not sure why People has just gotten around to reading it...

These scraping tools tend not to care about when the stuff being scraped was initially published.  I've scanned news feeds that have stories that are weeks or months old.

(This assumes that People.com is mostly populated by automated tools, as opposed to the human tools that used to write their articles.)

I would guess because they are looking for content, since the strikes are affecting their regular content.

I don’t think it’s a conscious decision. I sometimes read current events articles and there are recommended other articles at the bottom of the page and those articles are several years old and no longer relevant. It’s just automated scraping.
