Phoebe's tragicomic past has both inspired her music and
influenced her belief in karma. Her stepmom committed
suicide, her father abandoned Phoebe when young and she is
estranged from both her real mom and her twin sister,
Ursula. Phoebe did, however, reunite with her younger
brother (Frank, Jr.) and served as a surrogate to his
triplets. A vegetarian, singer/songwriter/masseuse, Phoebe
is currently single and lives alone in her late
grandmother's apartment. Although are things getting
better with Mike |

It may seem like Joey is only concerned with a few things:
sex, sandwiches and, uh, sex. Really, though, Joey is a
very caring guy, as recently demonstrated when he
confessed his love for Rachel. An aspiring actor, Joey's
big break came when he landed the role of Dr. Ramoray on
Days of our Lives. He used to room with Chandler -- except
for a brief time when he got his own apartment thanks to
Dr. Ramoray's success. Joey comes from a big, Italian
family and enjoys watching Baywatch from the comfort of
his Barcalounger. |

After leaving her fiancé, Barry, at the altar, Rachel
bumped into Monica and the two old friends wound up
roommates. Rachel's had many jobs, including a waitress
stint at Central Perk. Now, however she's found her niche
at Ralph Lauren. Rachel has also had many boyfriends,
ranging from Italian stud, Paolo, to Joshua, the guy she
scared off with her freaky "crush" behavior. Somehow, she
always finds herself drawn back to Ross. In fact, she just
had Ross's baby! And while the two are living together for
baby Emma's sake, for now they are still "just friends." |

Sarcastic, witty, recently unemployed Chandler has an
interesting family history. Since his parents divorced,
his dad has enjoyed success as a drag queen and his mom
has made out with Ross. Despite Chandler's ironic tone,
his love for Monica is very serious. Before getting
married, he was Joey's roommate, where he perfected the
art of Baywatch watching and Foosball. Recently, Chandler
quit his non-descript job to pursue his dream. He just
hasn't quite figured the dream out yet. |

Monica's older brother Ross has parlayed borderline "geek"
tendencies into a career in paleontology (uh, that's
dinosaur bones and stuff). Ross has quite a history with
the ladies. He was married to Carol - a lesbian who gave
birth to Ross's son Ben. Then he married Emily, a Brit who
was completely jealous of Ross's relationship with Rachel.
In fact, after they were married, Ross realized his true
feelings for Rachel and said "ta-ta" to Emily. Then he
married Rachel, but that was a drunken, spontaneous Las
Vegas thing, so it doesn't really count, right? What does
count, however, is the time they secretly hooked-up which
led to Rachel's pregnancy and the birth of their daughter,
Emma. Now, Ross and Rachel share parenting, but aren't
dating each other. Could it BE more complicated? |

Some might say Monica is a little obsessive-compulsive,
but really she just likes things in order - which actually
makes her more of a control freak. Monica was an obese
teen, which may have influenced her decision to become a
professional chef. At her brother Ross's last wedding,
Monica began an affair with mutual friend, Chandler. Now,
the two are happily married and Monica hopes to some day
start a family (as long as the kids aren't too, you know,
messy). |
