Matthew Perry walked back onto the 'Friends' set this week, but it wasn't quite the party as before.

Perry's friends have gone The Whole Nine Yards for him in the past, but they are calling it quits. Co-stars Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer made the set seem like The North Pole for the recovering Matthew as they ignored their friend. The four remaining actors tried to melt some of the ice, but the mood was evident...this is it.

While filming, Matthew gets a security guard escort to-and-from his program at Daniel Freeman Marina Hospital, to "keep him on the straight and narrow."
