21 Things We Wish We Saw A Little Bit More Of On Friends

Many of you will argue that Friends is a perfect show. And you know what? In many ways it is. It's a gift that keeps on giving as the time goes by. It has a wonderful potential to for further plot development, even if only in our heads.

But we wouldn't be completely honest with you if we didn't admit that sometimes we feel like there are bits of important stories missing from our favourite show. Like for example, we'd love to see more of Rachel being a great mother. Or what Gunther is up to outside of his job at Central Perk. Or... Well, see for yourself. The list is kind of long, actually.

21 Things We Wish We Saw More Of On Friends

  • A more detailed relationship between Ursula and Phoebe would be nice, don't you think?
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    1 of 21
  • More of Carol and Susan would also be greatly appreciated.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    2 of 21
  • Frankly, the more flashbacks the better ‘cuz they were always amazing!
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    3 of 21
  • We wouldn’t mind knowing what Gunther does with his life outside of his job at Central Perk either.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    4 of 21
  • A closer look at the relationships Ross/Ben and Ross/Emma as the kids grew up would be nice.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    5 of 21
  • In our honest opinion, Joey’s struggle with not making it as an actor should have been given more screen time.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    6 of 21
  • Phoebe’s internal monologues would make this show so much better.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    7 of 21
  • Monica’s fat kid mentality and how she dealt with it as an adult could be an interesting insight into the character.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    8 of 21
  • More of Phoebe’s songs, please! After season five she practically stops performing. What a shame!
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    9 of 21
  • We feel like some additional scenes of Chandler being a father were needed.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    10 of 21
  • Same with Rachel just being a great mom that she was.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    11 of 21
  • Ross doing more nice things (like buying Phoebe a bike instead of whining and focusing on himself all the time). All in favour say aye.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    12 of 21
  • We can’t stress this one enough - Ugly Naked Guy’s backstory!!!!!
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    13 of 21
  • What Ross and Monica’s childhood was like at casa Geller.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    14 of 21
  • A bit more spotlight on Chandler’s relationship with his father after they reconciled would have been interesting.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    15 of 21
  • Not showing enough of Rachel climbing the corporate ladder of the fashion world and kicking ass was a big drawback of the show tbh.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    16 of 21
  • Phoebe’s back story - actual flashbacks, not vague mentions in conversations - would be absolutely fascinating.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    17 of 21
  • Ross doing kickass dinosaur science-y things because there simply wasn’t enough nerdy stuff on the show.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    18 of 21
  • Showing Janice outside of romantic relationships, just her being a great gal, is what's missing from the show.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    19 of 21
  • The colourful personalities of Rachel’s sisters could have had a little bit more attention too.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    20 of 21
  • And finally, we would absolutely love to know more about the gang’s future - a’la Harry Potter ’10 years later’ chapter at the very end.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central

We Imagine What The Friends Cast Are Up To Now

  • What would the Friends characters be doing in 2016, truly? Let's start with Chandler. Yes, he's still happily married to Monica and enjoys raising their children immensely. He's the KING of dad jokes, obv.

  • Phoebe and Mike are still married. They live off the grid in a tiny house in the Mid West now, just enjoying each other's (and their rat babies') company. N'awwww!
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central/Countryliving
    2 of 10
  • Monica has a couple of her own restaurants (and Michelin stars) but she's still using a *lot* of garlic. She's also BFFs with Gordon Ramsay, but she won't stand for any of his boo-hockey.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central/Matt Baron/REX/Shutterstock
    3 of 10
  • Rachel dumped Ross after yet again he turned out to be a misogynistic buffoon. She's now a strong, independent leaf blower and works as the head of marketing for Christian Dior.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central/Broadimage/REX/Shutterstock
    4 of 10
  • Ross, after another outburst of anger, got sacked from his prestigious board member job and now teaches history in the local community college. He blames Rachel and Susan for what happened to him.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    5 of 10
  • Ben studies gender studies at NYU and refuses to have anything to do with Ross. He's had his eye on Rachel for a while now during visits to Emma, and tbh, we think it might happen one day. Tag wasn't much older...
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central/Madison McGaw/BFA/REX/Shutterstock
    6 of 10
  • Emma is in her goth phase now, and apart from a strange love of Sir Mixalot, wishes for My Chemical Romance to make a comeback. Excessive caffeine exposure while still in the womb *may* have contributed to her hyperactive disposition.

  • Gunther finally gave up on Rachel, after years of expensive therapy. Bad news is, he's now fixated on another woman called Samantha. He still works at Central Perk. He's still blond. He's still sassy.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central/YouTube
    8 of 10
  • Joey still lives in a studio above Monica and Chandler's garage. He found Cassandra via a dating app for food lovers, their 'tastes' matching on baloney sandwiches, pizzas (two), beer and turkey (never again).
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central/REX/Shutterstock
    9 of 10
  • And finally, Janice. She's a stay-at-home mum of four, as happy as a clam (a clam with Chandler's phone number and house address taped to the toilet cistern, just in case).
