I'll start - Liz from Motherland.

She's funny, never judges, down to earth and crude as fuck just like me. Plus she is single and has absolutely shit luck with relationships. Also me!

Elaine from Seinfeld. Funny, smart, had a good job, and I loved her 80's wardrobe!

Dr Reid - criminal minds

I’m so tempted to say Nina Proudman but I bet that would be exhausting!

Negan. He's hilarious and and a total asset in case of a zombie apocalypse

Q2C4 · 04/10/2022 06:31

Sheila Sabatini from Surgical Spirit, or House, or OfFred. All totally kickass!

Jay Gatsby, he gives the best parties.
Lizzie Bennet, whip smart and funny.
Jim from the Office, although not sure I could cope with watching him fall for Pam whilst I was just the best friend ...

MrsSkylerWhite · 04/10/2022 10:44

Cassie Stuart (Unforgotten) or Stevie (River)

DesdamonasHandkerchief · 04/10/2022 10:48

David from Schitts Creek would be fun to hang out with too.

AirFryerNinja · 04/10/2022 12:44

Gene Hunt. Absolutely love him.

Lorelai Gilmore - I know she's a bit self centred but there are always great snacks at her house and she's a good friend. Throw in Sookie too and you have the ideal girls night in.

Seconding CJ Cregg or Leslie Knope as well - I also think it would be funny to hang out with both of them as Leslie would have such a friend-crush on CJ.

Jack & Victor from Still Game

Not Monica for me, she would go mental. I'm a dropper.

I need to live in a house where people can spill!!

Liz Lemon. She's normal in a crazy job. I bet she has good stories.

MrsAvocet · 20/10/2022 02:50

Robin from Ghosts. He's my favourite of all the ghosts, though Pat and Mary would make good friends too.
