Friends - General Discussion

Well, there was the episode where Rachel talked about how she would probably eventually be phased out just like Monica’s boyfriend Kip. She convinced Phoebe to go with her and they planned to “take Joey.” Not that any of that actually happened. And I don’t recall anyone outside of Rachel and Phoebe discussing it.

The taking Joey discussion was just Rachel and Phoebe but the part about possibly being phased out like Kip was with all the friends minus Ross.

Ross talked to Rachel and told her that he would be the one to back out of the group when Emily would eventually come. Rachel responded that even that would not be okay because she wouldn’t get to hang out with Ross.

Well, the thing there is that if it’s your sibling, you absolutely have to take his side. 

Um. I'm an only child, but I'm pretty sure the answer is no, you don't have to.

I actually think she said that would never work because Monica was his sister and Chandler his college roommate.  Then she made her comment how she always felt like Phoebe would be the first to go.

In my family we always used to joke that if my husband and I were ever to divorce my Mom got custody of my husband.

Well, obviously there are exceptions but I’m talking about this type of breakup scenario. My brother would not have liked it if I’d remained friends with his ex. So I picked him over her, that’s how it had to go.

In this scenario though the break up had already happened.  Ross and Rachel had moved on (theoretically anyway)  but the group had remained intact.  The time for Monica to pick a side had already come and gone.

Yes, but the subject was Emily demanding Ross to cut ties with Rachel. Which is pretty much how a breakup goes.

For me it wasn't so much that Emily wanted him to cut ties with Rachel, although that would have been difficult for the reasons mentioned above, it was the fact that she wanted to know where he was ALL the time. That's just ridiculous.
