No. According to the original plan of "Old Friends", Matthew's role as Chandler was a very minor one. But then, due to Matthew's excellent performance and good audience feedback, the producers decided to increase Matthew's role, and his price tag for appearing in an episode of Old Friends was one million dollars, and his paycheck for the entire ninth season was a whopping 24 million dollars, so there was no replacement for Chandler in the seventh season of Old Friends.
