However, details of the actual scenes that will be aired were not disclosed.
While more TV programmes are featuring same-sex relationships in the recent years, depictions of on-screen same-sex intimacy are still relatively rare, especially on mainstream hit shows like Friends.
The episode will clash with CBS' next-to-last episode of Survivor when both air on April 27 during the first week of the important May Sweeps.
