Here's What The Friends Co-Creator Thinks The Characters Would Be Doing Now

Friends, one of the most iconic TV series of all time, just celebrated its 25th anniversary.


There have been a couple of festivities surrounding the event, like Meghan Trainor covering the show's ridiculously catchy theme song as well as a theatrical showing a couple of episodes. It's been one big long celebration leading up to the anniversary, and Companions fans have had a lot to look forward to. Nevertheless perhaps one of the most intriguing parts of the complete landmark event is co-creator Marta Kauffman's comments on where she believes the cast would be now should the show have lasted for a number of more glorious seasons.


Speaking to Us Weekly, Kauffman shared her hunch on where everyone's preference companions could be should the show have continued.


"I think Monica and Chandler are with each other she mentioned. "They have their twins. They’re doing fantastic. Joey, I think, has six kids. I think he’s wedded and has six kids. I think Ross and Rachel are still with each other and, Emma’s in therapy! And Phoebe and Mike are still with each other. Phoebe and Mike are certainly still with each other. And so they have either adopted or fostered children." That's, uh, that's projecting a lot of kids for Joey, yet we can believe that, honestly.


Unfortunately, while that all sounds like a solid plan that fans would likely love to be able to see play out on the small screen again, you shouldn't get your hopes up for a big reunion or new episodes. Kauffman shared that it's not on the radar.


"There are two reasons for that, one of those is the reason we won’t do a reunion, is this is a show about that time in your life any time companions are your family members and while you begin having family member that changes, so it wouldn’t be what’s at the heart of the show anymore. Nevertheless the other reason is, it’s not going to be what we did."


So what you should do right now, Friends fans, is soak up the show whenever you could up until all episodes are removed from Netflix in early 2020 and head to WarnerMedia's new streaming service HBO Max. You're going hope to savor it while it's there since there isn't anything new coming. Yeah...We're still bummed about it too.
