David Schwimmer has finally settled the "we were on a break" debate and his opinion is rather surprising...
Friends is arguably one of the most successful sitcoms of all time.
It was an instant hit...
And we grew to become incredibly attached to these characters...
It truly made us feel like a member of the Friends gang and we could relate to so many different aspects of the show.Whether we could relate to Joey's skills with the ladies...
Or if we felt connected on a spiritual level to Phoebe... there's something for everyone in Friends.On a personal note...
Neat-freak Monica speaks to me on a totally different level.The final episode aired in September 2004...
It was an emotional rollercoaster, to say the least.
Monica and Chandler were starting a family, Phoebe was newly married, Rachel had a new job in Paris... As with a lot of friendships, the gang had grown apart and were embarking upon their separate journeys.Oh, and Rachel got off the plane...
Fans rejoiced as Ross and Rachel finally put their differences aside and got back together.But, fifteen years on from Rachel getting off the plane...
Over the years, there have been a few low-key reunions and a lot of false hope...
Apart from the occasional reunion on talk-shows, fans have had their fair share of disappointments when it comes to waiting for a Friends reunion.A trailer for a Friends movie went viral last year, giving superfans false hope that the sitcom was hitting the box office...
But it wasn't to be. The trailer was quickly confirmed to be fake and, again, our dreams were shattered.And even the cast have confirmed in the past that a reunion is incredibly unlikely...
And it isn't just the cast who have their doubts...
So, yeah... Things haven't been looking too great on the reunion front...
Well, the news we were all waiting for arrived in February...
All of the cast posted the same throwback picture on Instagram confirming the news of an official reunion.Many fans hoped that the reunion would be scripted...
The reunion was originally scheduled to air in May on HBO Max...
Along with the channel releasing all 10 seasons of the sitcom for viewers to watch on-demand.But bad news wasn't far around the corner...
Due to the global pandemic, the Friends reunion was called off "indefinitely," just a week before filming was set to take place.Marta Kauffman recently gave the much-needed update...
So in the meantime...
All we can do is re-watch the entire 10 seasons of Friends! And it seems that the cast have been doing the same during lockdown... including Ross himself, David Schwimmer.David recently appeared in an online interview with Jimmy Fallon...
And that is the debate of...
Where Ross and Rachel really on a break?!This debate has been discussed by fans since 1997 when the episode aired that showed Ross and Rachel break up.
Ross slept with Chloe the Xerox girl when he and Rachel supposedly "broke up." Ross' defense was that they were on a break, but Rachel was adamant that they weren't which lead to her dumping poor old Ross on the spot.The majority of us were totally on Rachel's side...
The debate has never been settled...
"People are so passionately divided about whether or not they were on a break," the actor said when asked by Jimmy what people shout at him in the street.
