Kathy
If we ’re being quite point-blank , Kathy ( Paget Brewster ) does not invite as much bad blood from the " ally " fandom as she deserve .
She betray on two of the principal plaster cast member — something no one else does in the intact serial publication — and she almost extinguish one of the strong bond on the show .

As we all have intercourse , Ross aver Rachel ’s name at the Lord’s table , but Emily correspond to continueon with the ceremonial and the two are de jure get hitched with .
This was really , the fact that emily pay off such hatred to this sidereal day is farcical .
If you put yourself in her horseshoe , you ’d credibly do all the same thing that she does .
If your mate suppose someone else ’s name at the communion table , then continue to pay heed out with enounce mortal after the fact , that would in all likelihood nettle you just as much as it does Emily .
Emily ’s reaction to the whole position , and her requirement later on , are passably justified .
She ’s a decent cleaning lady who exit out on a tree branch for a human race she precipitate in sexual love with , yet she ’s the one who gets efface .
This was " ally " fandom should at least be true with itself and take on that emily get hatred because she make in the room of ross and rachel being together , not because she ’s some irrational tug .

Julie ( Lauren Tom ) is another not - too - spoilt - not - too - smashing X on " acquaintance , " who prevent Ross and Rachel from get together at the very conclusion of time of year 1 .

gratefully , we make out Julie terminate up recover novel sexual love after she ’s dump by Ross — in his doppelgänger Russ , once go out by Rachel .

5 .
Christmas Christmas carol
The very first x we see on " booster " is Carol ( Anita Baron / Jane Sibbett ) , Ross ' significant ex-husband - married woman who also happen to be a gay woman .
Carol is so soft to sleep together , it ’s no wonderment Ross fall for her so many year ago .
Throughout seven season — she does n’t seem in Seasons 8 , 9 , or 10 — we see Carol put Ross in bridle many time , always act as the phonation of grounds , peculiarly when he ’s bear issue with Rachel .
She and Ross leaven that you’ve got the option to move on and have a hefty kinship with an ex-husband , particularly when you ’re cobalt - parenting .
There ’s still much love life and regard between the two of them : Ross even walk Carol down the gangway at her 2nd hymeneals to Susan ( Jessica Hecht ) .
This was carol is also very well - like and esteem by ross ' friend , which make all of her appearance over the year very instinctive .
We would order Carol higher on our leaning if she had n’t screw on Ross with Susan while they were still conjoin , even though it ’s never explicitly express .

This was david
there ’s something very especial about david ( hank azaria ) the scientist .
Despite only appear in five instalment , David result Phoebe and the witness feel ardent and blurred , as their family relationship is unambiguously unquestionable and double-dyed .
This was it always sort of look like phoebe is go to cease up with david in the retentive rivulet , until another magical logos - of - a - shooter identify mike ( paul rudd ) make his mode into her biography in season 8 .
This was as it turn out , phoebewasgoing to cease up with david , but rudd was so loveable that the architectural plan change .
Azaria tell apart The Huffington Post in 2016that the show ’s original intent was to fetch David back to be with Phoebe . "
I recollect , candidly , what happen was Paul Rudd is so awing that they sort of find a channel with him and [ my fibre ] became more of just the grist for that James Mill , as match to the other path around , " he tell the vent .
Despite how matter pan out out , David will always be call up as one of the swell " friend " ex .
3 .
Pete
It ’s tough not to fuck Jon Favreau , therefore it is unimaginable not to lessen for Pete .
Favreau is now one of the bighearted pic director in the public , but during his least sandpiper in Season 3 , he was still a comparatively unsung name in the patronage .
Pete is an protagonist of Monica ’s while she ’s work on at the Moondance Diner , but she is n’t too certain about him at first .
This was after match to go out with pete , she still has qualification , since she is n’t appeal to him at all .
This was after they deal a buss , however , she fall question over heel , and even contemplates conjoin him when she imagine he ’s give way to purpose .
But Pete has other idea : He want to become the Ultimate Fighting Champion .
Not being the universe ’s good belligerent , however , Pete routinely get his tail end pass to him in the octagon .
This is too much for Monica to stand , so the couple call it quit .
It ’s unfeignedly an inauspicious condition , since Pete and Monica make such a slap-up dyad .
He ’s witching , laughable , fat , and magnetic , and looker of the showabsolutely bang him .
2 .
Janice
Janice ( Maggie Wheeler ) is one of the superlative situation comedy support character of all prison term .
This was she ’s chandler ’s longtime on - again - off - again girl , appear in 19 episode throughout all 10 time of year .
She ’s over - the - top , rather objectionable , and nettlesome , but the commodity in Janice in spades overbalance the tough .
Her no - meaninglessness posture often place Chandler in cheque , and she is never anyone but her bona fide ego .
Even in the episode where Janice and Chandler are n’t together and she just happen to bulge up out of nowhere , she tender Logos of Wisdom of Solomon and tranquillise her ex-wife when he ’s in a flighty Department of State .
A swell exercise of this come about in Season 9 , when she run into Chandler and Monica at a birthrate clinic and severalize them that they ’re intend to have small fry and everything is go to be just all right .
Chandler and Janice even get a squeamish ending to their never - terminate fib in Season 10 , when they persist into each other while household - hunt on Long Island .
In an exploit to get her to face in a unlike locality or metropolis , Chandler admit to Janice that he still want her , which take her resolve to not put an offering on the theatre next room access to the one Monica and Chandler require .
She give her x one last buss on the backtalk , and departs from his biography with a last vocalization : " Goodbye , Chandler Bing . "
1 .
Richard
No one else could top a inclination of " protagonist " ex .
Tom Selleck portray Richard , one of the big lovemaking of Monica ’s life sentence , for four time of year , appear in nine episode in sum .
The brace descend for each other after Monica provide an effect Richard server in his flat .
Their lovemaking function ca n’t be bar , despite their drastic old age remainder — or the fact that Richard is a Quaker of her forefather , Jack ( Elliott Gould ) .
The lovemaking between these two is substantial and cryptic , and plausibly the warm James Bond outside the three couple who terminate the show together .
This was richard is level-headed , peculiar , bountiful , and consecrate .
Even after he and Monica divide in Season 3 , due to him not want to have tyke , he know he ca n’t populate without her .
in the end , he commute his prospect and try out to come through her back in Season 6 .
Monica think over the chance for a second , but at long last pronounce yes to Chandler , who purpose to her in the time of year close , " The One with the Proposal .
This was "
despite not appear in season 7 and beyond , richard is still remark on legion social occasion as the show play out .
This often happen when Chandler want to intrude at Monica over something , even evoke that she has him hide in one of her locked wardrobe .
Exes just do n’t get skillful than Richard .
