Lisa Kudrow has some strong opinions on what is arguably the biggest debate among Friends fans: Were Ross and Rachel on a break?
The actress, who rose to fame as Phoebe Buffay in the 90s hit, revealed she is firmly Team Rachel when it comes to one of TV’s most iconic brides. Kudrow revealed while speaking with Entertainment tonight on the red carpet for the Season 3 premiere of her comedy The comeback.
“Rachel now!” Kudrow responded firmly, admitting that she used to be team Ross, but has since changed her stance ever since she recently started rewatching the show. “I’ve changed.”
“Ross was ridiculous,” added Easy A actress. “What a baby! You can’t plan a future with that guy.”
Kudrow was, of course, referring to the infamous Season 3 episode where a heartbroken Ross (David Schwimmer) sleeps with the xerox girl hours after Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) suggests they “take a break” from their relationship.
In the next season, the on-again, off-again couple briefly reunites during a beach vacation. However, Ross rejects Rachel’s demands that he take “full responsibility” for their breakup, shouting the iconic line, “We were on a break!”
The line would later become a recurring gag on the show and sparked endless debate among fans.
