Joey & Rachel/Friends

TechAPhi · #1 01-15-2002, 02:36 AM

I was talking to my sister today and she said the Friends writers might be trying to get Joey and Rachel together. I've missed the past three or so weeks. What the heck is going on? What have I missed? Please inform. Thanks.

Last week Joey and Rachel went out on a date "just as friends" but when Joey went out on a date with another girl all he could think about was Rachel. The episode ended with Rachel sitting in Joey's lap watching Kujo and as he was comforting her of her fears he looked really freaked out. For this week the previews indicate that Joey is fantasizing about Rachel and being in love with her. Apparently Chandler (and maybe the others) finds out that he's in love with Rachel but I think this information will be overshadowed by the news of the sex of the baby.
Personally I want Rachel and Ross back together, but I don't know what will happen.
Anyone have thoughts on this?

When I left North America, they kind of alluded that Rachel's baby is fathered by Ross (cuz he and Tag had the same red sweater and Tag had his and Ross had forgotten it at Rachel's place, presumably when he slept over).

Has the father of Rachel's baby been 100% confirmed by the show? Has it started up again in North America?

Someone please tell me....they're talking about "The new Sex and the City" season here in Australia and it's the one that (HELLO PEOPLE)

has already aired in North America (the season where Samantha experiments being a lesbian, Carrie dates pork-pie hat Musician guy, etc.)

HELP! I am suffering from FRIENDS withdrawal!!

I can tell you that yes, Ross is the father. I haven't been watching the show recently though because I got sucked into Survivor. Now that Survivor is over, I'll be tuning into Friends this Thursday

Okay--for the sake of the baby, I want Rachel and Ross together. But if there was no baby--BRING ON RACHEL and JOEY!!! I have loved Joey this season and I think he and Rachel would work. But who knows--I guess thats why I keep watching

I think Joey and Rachel would be a great couple. The Ross/Rachel couple has been overdone and it is time for a new couple.

Ok, being a HUGE "friends" fan...(so much so that my fiance bought me the dvd boxset for xmas) i think joey and rachel getting together is pushing it, for godsake its his friends/her exhusbands baby she is carrying.

ross and rachel need to get back together and i bet she is having a girl.

HOOOOOWWW YAAAAAAA DOOOOOING?

I only watch reruns!

Awww I love Joey. I want Joey!!!

But seriously, I used to think Ross and Rachel should get back together but Ross just annoys me now. I hope Joey and Rachel end up together.

As stupid as I think Joey is, I think he'd be good for Rachel. I am sick of the whole Ross and Rachel thing...so over, so done! I think Rachel and Joey would be a whole new ballpark!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply.

I have mixed feelings about the Joey/Rachel combo. In the eight or so years that "Friends" has been on, we've rarely (if ever) gotten to see Joey in a serious relationship or a serious situation at all. It might be kind of nice to see him have true feelings for someone instead of always being the player.

On the other hand, it almost seems incestuous--perhaps not the best choice of terms--but...

I guess what I mean to say is that the group is so close-knit, that the guys are almost like brothers and sisters. In a way it seems like they need to go outside of the immediate circle and bring in some fresh blood!

Joey/Rachel sounds intriguing. It would certainly make for some interesting storylines, but it really seems like (if this were reality) Ross would in some way resent Joey for going after Rachel.

Okay. I must tell myself these are not real people! I am analyzing this WAY too much. Nevertheless, I've spent all this time watching these "friends." It is interesting to speculate.

okay,
i think that joey and rachel would be a cute couple, but come on you guys....you know him and pheobe are like a match made in heaven. they are the ones that need to be together

they are both idiots, and i just think it would be perfect. yes, him and rachel would look better together, but i think him and pheobe's personalities are way better together!

I've really fallen in love with Joey this season! It was so sweet at the end of this week's ep. when Rachel walked out of the room and said, "Hi sweetie." And you hear his thoughts and he thinks: "I love you." It was sooo cute!
