I'll start.

Susan - homewrecking bitch
Emily - whiney and stuck up
Gary the cop - arrogant and pushy
Judy - shit parent to Monica
Ursula - cold
Mike - preferred David if I'm honest
Charlie - uptight

You?

David. Hank Azaria is an amazing actor, but I couldn’t stand the actor. Swanned off for 10 years, then expected phoebe just to drop everything and take him back. He’s very anxious and whiny and I think his lack of confidence would have annoyed phoebe after a while.

Alice for sleeping with a person she’d known when they were child and she was an adult. Likewise, Richard Burke.

I know that Phoebe’s brother and Monica were adults in the show but it’s still creepy.

Susan for insisting on the baby taking her surname. I liked the actress though, she was good in her small role in Breaking Bad too.

I can't remember who Ursula is?!

I really didn't like Mona.. drippy and pathetic 😬😅

KitchiHuritAngeni · 15/10/2022 17:59

Richard.

He was shagging his best mates daughter, one who he knew as a child, watched grow up, was her optician....

Creepy as fuck.

Poetnojo · 15/10/2022 18:14

Ursula was Phoebes twin sister

ShakeYourFeathers · 15/10/2022 18:16

In no particular order
Gary the cop- for shooting that bird
Phoebes DB and SIL- that was just creepy
Mona
Susan
Carol
Gunther
Emily

I quite liked Richard

Richard Burke's personality is literally my dream man. A strong, older, wise, stable MAN ❤️

There is so much love for him. Its so weird to me that so many people hate pheobes brothers wife because of the age thing and her having a position of power over him while he was underage, but totally forget Richard did exactly the same thing, worse in fact, and people love him.

Tom selleck is absolutely gorgeous, and a lovely guy AFAIK, Richard on the other hand - creep.

Mona
Phoebes mum at the beach
Elizabeth

Sux2buthen · 15/10/2022 18:36

Not what you asked but I loved Eddie.
That man is standing in the window holding a human head!!

Vitriolinsanity · 15/10/2022 18:51

Also Berry the dentist

I don't like Janine or Charlie, they were both very wooden. Or Erica, who had a very annoying voice (and I just didn't enjoy the adoption story at all).

I think there's far worse characters than Mona. She was a bit forgettable and didn't have many funny moments, but I thought she was sweet and a believable character.

Susan was a bit of a twat, but she was funny and a good actress, and she and Ross had good chemistry and some nice moments together. So I would definitely place her high in the list of secondary characters.

ShakeYourFeathers · 15/10/2022 21:26

Rachel's friend who married Barry had to be on the list for making Rachel bridesmaid and to wear that bo peep pink dress. And the best man speech was cringe

I don't understand the "David over Mike" thing.

I loved Phoebe and Mike together. They didn't get much of a send off (neither did Joey but he was off to do a TV show) in the way that the rest of them did. I thought it was pretty shitty.

Re: the question

  • David (yawn)
  • Pheobe's birth mother
  • Susan and Carol were pretty horrible people "bobo the sperm guy" fucking hell. And yes to the whole surname thing.
  • Kathy
  • Joey's sisters
