F.R.I.E.N.D.S - If you had to lose one character, who would it be?

[froggy1811]

Just for fun!

So, I'm re-watching Friends all over again and I'm loving it! I definitely appreciate it way more than I ever did during its original run; however, another thread that was posted here got me thinking - if you HAD to lose one character from Friends, who would it be, and why?

Mike is no loss. She should have ended up with David.
I actually thought this was one show where all the leads could have paired up so Phoebe with Joey (nobody I know ageees with me and actuallyI thought Monica and richard were lovely). I love paul Rudd but on Phoebe and Mike - if he hadn't been famous I think he'd have gone early, I just didn't find him that great! Loved David though! I'd have taken out Emma and the twins. Totally unnecessary

Phoebe

Gunter

OMG definitely not Chandler! He’s the only decent human guy on it!

I guess Phoebe as well. She does lift right out.

I'm with you!

Ross, why does he have to shout so much?

Joey

Phoebe

Emily. I couldn’t stand her back when it first aired now even more so!

Definitely Phoebe.

Ross was abusive. Jory was 1 dimensional.
Lisa Kudrow was the best actor.

Ross for annoyingness but he’s central to the plot.

Ah I loved David. I always think of him as Phoebe's one true love.

Phoebe

Phoebe. I actually found her funny and somewhat likeable, but she wasn't integral to any of the main storylines.

Joey. Awful acting

Although weirdly I did like Matt le blanc as himself in episodes.

Joey became a caricature

Phoebe, she was flaky and let people down a lot.

Joey - I don’t think his attitude to women has aged all that well and nearly all of his comedy was based on him being stupid. He was played really well by Matt Leblanc tho.

Mike. I like Paul Rudd but I felt Phoebe and David had chemistry and should have ended up together.

@FlorenceWintle

The general consensus on MN is that Ross was abusive but I don’t see it myself.

Not sure I'd say abusive but I would definitely use the word manipulative. Ross was also a certified creep

@LoveGrooveDanceParty

Mike is no loss. She should have ended up with David.

I'd rather look at Mike than David though

Phoebe. Too weird, selfish at times with an inconsistent personality.

I actually thought this was one show where all the leads could have paired up so Phoebe with Joey (nobody I know ageees with me

I don't agree either
But I'd rather see Phoebe and Joey with their tender interactions than Rachel and Joey - I did not enjoy them together at all

@Chasingsquirrels

Gunter

He deserved so much better, wish they'd given him a love before it all ended

Phoebe / her brother Frank / Emily. I was gong to say Tag as well, but have left him off

Ross and Monica always annoyed me but it wouldn't be the same thing without them!!
