Many characters on TV are famous for their on-screen relationship, one of the most remarkable couples is Rachel and Ross. They managed to divide the world into debates about their relationship, ups and downs, chemistry, breakups, breaks, fights, and reconciliations.
Rachel and Ross did not even have many years together as a couple, they went through various stages in their relationship of friendship, love and as parents, however no one forgets the time together and many wished for an end where both are finally on the same page as a couple, because despite their differences both always supported each other and matured through time with a close bond.
In love with the sister's best friend
Rachel and Ross' relationship began long before the first episode of Friends. All fans know that Rachel was the popular girl in high school and Ross the studious guy, and their paths at that time didn't seem to coincide, but that didn't stop Ross from being madly in love with Rachel from those first moments.
The reunion after a non-wedding
Ross was mourning his impending divorce when Rachel walked through the entrance of the Central Perk in her wedding dress, but that didn't stop him from remembering all the feelings he always had for her. She was apparently unprepared to begin dating, given that she recently left her fiancé Barry at the altar, so Ross decided to give her space, but soon after that she met Paolo and began a torrid affair that made Ross sink into rage and envy.
Ross could be more than a friend?
Rachel hadn't noticed Ross as a potential couple until Chandler talks about Ross' feelings. To her he was always a friend and Monica's brother, but from that moment on, Rachel began to see Ross in a different way. Sadly, it all happened when he met someone else.
Rachel wanted to surprise Ross at the airport by telling him how she felt, but instead, she was surprised when she saw Ross arrive with Julie. Rachel wanted to get out of the way, but the seed was already planted and she ended up telling Ross through voicemail that she was over him.
Rachel finds her lobster
Finally, these two are at the same point, both have declared their feelings, and the first kiss finally occurs. Unfortunately, Ross makes a list of Rachel's pros and cons and she finds it. After a first fight almost before the relationship began, one of television's most famous love affairs officially begins. It seemed like that fight might be the end of it, too, but after being shows how Ross had always cared for her, Rachel forgave him, and they became a real thing.
We Were On A Break
Ross's jealousy caused the relationship to end when he began to be suspicious of Rachel's co-worker, Mark. Also, one of the most debated misunderstandings on television occurred: Did Rachel and Ross really break up, or did Ross cheat on Rachel?
Ross's jealousy caused them to take a break, he was hurt by the situation and in the middle of a drunken night he slept with another woman, causing Rachel's anger and a definitive separation. Despite this, they try again some time later, but end up in a big fight after Rachel gives him an 18-page letter (front and back!) and he doesn't read it before answering it. This leads to another big breakup.
Ross and Emily
After a brief relationship with Emily, Ross becomes engaged to her, and Chandler, Monica and Joey travel to London for the wedding. Rachel stays in New York with a very pregnant Phoebe, who cannot stop Rachel from getting on a plane to prevent the wedding.
She decides not to stop things, but the marriage doesn't begin well when Ross says Rachel's name at the altar. This causes Emily to resent and ask Ross not to see Rachel again. Ross tries to keep his promise, but the marriage doesn't work out and they end up getting divorced.
Rachel and Ross get married
A trip to Las Vegas begins a new episode in Rachel and Ross' relationship. He tries to play a joke on Rachel during the flight, and draws some pictures on her face while she is sleeping. But when she cannot remove the marks, she prevents Ross from leaving the hotel room, so the only thing they can do is get drunk and of course, get married. Rachel asks Ross to annul the marriage, but Ross, who doesn't want a third divorce, lies about it.
Baby Emma
Rachel didn't take very well to being alone during Monica and Chandler's engagement. Although she tries to be supportive of her friends, she also needs to have someone by her side. On screen, there is only one kiss between the two, but later on, there is a reunion between them that is not revealed until Rachel finds out about her pregnancy.
Her friends begin to speculate about the alleged father and discover through a shirt that Ross and Rachel were together. For his part, Ross can't believe that condoms are not 100% effective and panics for a short time, but fairly quickly assumes his commitment to Rachel and Emma.
I'm Fine
Many people thought that with a baby and some time living in the same apartment the relationship would start again, but they walked away from that possibility, although Ross remained hopeful. The proximity with Joey for a while, caused Rachel to start dating him, and although there is a group of fans who think they have more in common, in reality, Rachel and Ross always returned to a common point. These dates made Ross pretty upset, even though he kept repeating that he was fine.
Rachel doesn't go to Paris
A great job opportunity is presented to Rachel in Paris, she has options in New York, but she wants a change. Ross tries to support her, but struggles to think about getting Rachel and Emma across the ocean. As a last resort, Ross decides to stop Rachel from taking the flight to Paris, but he doesn't get there in time because he gets into the wrong airport.
Rachel feels the same need to stay and does not leave New York. At the end of the last episode of Friends, Rachel and Ross are together again, leaving the fans with the possibility of a forever.
