The role of Rachel was originally offered to

sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. After acquiring the role and before Friends aired, Aniston was temporarily at risk of being recast because she had also been involved with another sitcom, Muddling Through
, at the time, which was ultimately cancelled and allowed Aniston to remain on Friends.

Critical reception towards Rachel has remained consistently positive throughout Friends' decade-long run, with

continues to be imitated by millions of women around the world and remains one of the most popular hairstyles in history, in spite of Aniston personally disliking it. Rachel is also regarded as a style icon due to her influence on womenswear during the 1990s. Meanwhile, the character's relationship with Ross is often cited among television's most beloved.

Rachel is considered to be Aniston's breakout role, credited with making her the show's most famous cast member and for spawning her successful film career. Praised for her performance as Rachel, Aniston won both an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series – Comedy Or Musical.

Role

Rachel debuts in the

Gunther (James Michael Tyler
), is in love with her.

As season one concludes, Rachel finds out that Ross is in love with her, and realizes that she loves him, too. When she goes to tell him, however, she finds that he has begun a relationship with a woman named

Mark (Steven Eckholdt),[10] culminating in Rachel deciding that they should "take a break" from their relationship. Ross interprets this as a sign of their breakup and sleeps with another woman after calling Rachel and learning Mark is with her. Ross and Rachel reunite the following day, but she breaks up with him after finding out about his infidelity.[11]

In the episodes following the break up, Rachel and Ross are initially hostile towards each other, but continue to harbor feelings for each other. During a beach house vacation with their friends, Rachel and Ross briefly reconcile when he ends his relationship with

wedding vows.[13] Ross ultimately divorces Emily after she demands that he end his friendship with Rachel.[14]

At the end of

season nine. After an argument following Rachel kissing her colleague Gavin (Dermot Mulroney
) and giving her phone number to a man she met at a bar, Rachel leaves Ross and moves back in with Joey.

At the end of season nine, Rachel begins to develop feelings for Joey. Joey confesses that he still has feelings for Rachel, and they decide to try dating.

season ten, however, both because their romance upsets Ross and because they realize that they do not work as a couple.[19]

Rachel eventually finds a job opportunity in France, but has second thoughts when Ross tells her he still loves her. Rachel ultimately decides to stay and reignite her relationship with Ross, getting off the plane at the last minute.[20]

In the first episode of the spin-off/sequel Joey, it is implied that Ross and Rachel remarried shortly after the events of the Friends finale, as Joey tells his sister Gina (Drea de Matteo) that all of his friends have gotten married. In the episode "Joey and the Breakup", while discussing his relationship with Sarah (Mädchen Amick), Joey mentions Rachel to Gina, though not by name, as the only woman he ever confessed his love to, which led to brief heartbreak when Rachel did not reciprocate his feelings, as Joey says, "We were living together, she was pregnant with my best friend's baby and she ended up with him."

During the 2021 reunion special, David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston both said they imagined that Ross and Rachel had remarried after the end of the series.

Development

Conception and writing

After their short-lived television series

chemistry for the first time,[33] Crane and Kauffman determined that the entire series relied on "finding all the wonderful roadblocks for them to be with each other".[22]

Audiences began rooting for Rachel and Ross' union from the very beginning of Friends, openly voicing their frustration with Rachel's obliviousness to Ross' feelings for her.

episodic drama".[36] Meanwhile, writing for The New York Review of Books, Elaine Blair agreed that Friends created "a sense of chemistry between two characters while also putting obstacles in their way, setting us up for a long-deferred union".[37]

After Rachel and Ross drunkenly get married while on vacation in Las Vegas during season five, Schwimmer had initially objected to the idea of having Ross divorce her – his third divorce – because he felt that it was taking it "too far".[38] The actor explained that "The whole arc of the relationship was weird then ... because for [Ross] to be able to move on enough to marry someone else and then go back to being in love with Rachel later just went a bit too far."[38] Rachel and Joey's romantic storyline was conceived because the writers wanted to delay Ross and Rachel's reunion further.[38] Crane felt that pairing Rachel and Joey during season ten "was for the greater good" because "it was inappropriate".[22] However, the cast initially protested the idea, fearing that Rachel, Joey, and Ross would ultimately become unlikeable characters and audiences would either "resent Joey for going after a pregnant woman, or resent Rachel for rejecting him, or resent Ross for standing between the two of them".[39] Meanwhile, the writers also approached the concept of Rachel's pregnancy and baby tentatively, worrying about how they would include it in the show because they did not want Friends "to become a show about a baby" while "On the other hand, we don't want to pretend that there isn't one."[39] According to Robert Bianco of USA Today, the critical success and popularity of Rachel's pregnancy is ultimately responsible for "propel[ling] the show to the top of the ratings".[40] When it finally came time to write the series finale, "The only thing [Crane and Kauffman] absolutely knew from very early on was that we had to get Ross and Rachel together," deciding, "We had dicked the audience around for 10 years with their 'will they or won't they,' and we didn't see any advantage in frustrating them" any longer.[41] However, at one point the writers had deliberated ending the series with Ross and Rachel in "a gray area of where they aren't together, but we hint there's a sense that they might be down the road".[42] Ultimately, Crane and Kauffman relented in favor of giving the audience what they wanted.[42]

Casting

The final character to be cast,[33] Rachel is portrayed by actress Jennifer Aniston, who auditioned for the role shortly after declining a position as a cast member on the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live.[43] Her decision was initially ridiculed by both her friends as well as actor Adam Sandler, a Saturday Night Live alum.[44] Actress Téa Leoni, who at the time was being referred to by the media as "the next Lucille Ball",[45] was offered the role of Rachel as the studio's first choice,[23] but she declined in favor of starring in the sitcom The Naked Truth.[46] Actress Elizabeth Berkley also auditioned for the role.[47] Other actresses who auditioned for Rachel include Denise Richards, Melissa Rivers, Nicollette Sheridan, Parker Posey, and Jami Gertz.[32] Originally, the producers wanted to cast actress Courteney Cox as Rachel,[48] who Crane and Kauffman were particularly drawn to because of her "cheery, upbeat energy".[21] Additionally, Cox was the most famous cast member at the time amidst an ensemble of relatively unknown actors.[23][32][49][50] However, the actress lobbied for the role of Rachel's best friend Monica, as whom she was ultimately cast,[21] because she felt that she was not "quirky" enough to play Rachel.[51] At the same time, although unbeknownst to each other,[52] Aniston was being considered for the role of Monica,[53] but fought to play Rachel because she felt that the character suited her better.[54][55] At one point, Cox had begun to regret her decision to play Monica until her own character's storylines started improving.[32]

Upon being cast as Rachel in Friends – her sixth sitcom effort – actress Jennifer Aniston was nearly recast due to her involvement with another developing sitcom, Muddling Through, at the time. The producers had originally wanted Aniston to audition for the role of Monica.

Friends was Aniston's sixth sitcom;

photo shoots;[68] the network excluded her from these in case she would be replaced.[69] Aniston explained, "When we were shooting the first grouping of cast photos ... I was asked to step out of a bunch because they didn't know if I was going to be still playing Rachel."[69] Director James Burrows admitted that Aniston had been cast in second position.[70][71] The producers had already begun auditioning other actresses for the part,[72] while Aniston also received phone calls from her own friends warning her, "I'm auditioning for your part in Friends."[73] Ultimately, Muddling Through was canceled after only three months and 10 episodes,[74][75] two weeks before the pilot of Friends aired,[76] thus allowing Aniston to keep her role on the show,[77] becoming its second youngest cast member at the age of 25.[3][32] Crane appreciated Aniston's interpretation of Rachel because "in the wrong hands Rachel is kind of annoying and spoiled and unlikable," commending the actress for "breathing life into a difficult character".[32]

Crane and Kauffman strongly envisioned Friends as an

family sitcom or star a famous comedian,[34] Elizabeth Kolbert of The New York Times explained that each of the show's main characters are "of equal importance".[50] As a writer, Crane preferred it this way because "utilizing six equal players, rather than emphasizing one or two, would allow for myriad story lines".[79] Kauffman echoed that "Friends worked best when the entire ensemble was onstage."[80] The only reason Aniston is credited first during the show's title sequence is because the cast is listed alphabetically.[32] The show's ensemble format is also believed to have prevented jealous conflicts among the cast.[34][79] Famously, the Friends cast became the first in television history to negotiate as a group for equal salaries,[78] refusing to work until their demands of $100,000 per episode were met during season three,[49] which eventually increased to $1 million per episode by seasons nine and ten –[58] approximately $25 million per year.[71] Alongside Cox and actress Lisa Kudrow, who portrays Phoebe, Aniston became the highest-paid television actress of all time.[81] By then, Aniston had surpassed Cox as the show's most famous cast member due to having launched an international hair trend with the "Rachel" and successfully transitioning into a film career,[32] combined with her high-profile relationship with her then-husband, actor Brad Pitt,[21] who had once guest starred in an episode of the show.[82] At times the producers would use the actress' popularity to boost the show's ratings, notably her character's seventh season kiss with actress Winona Ryder and pregnancy arc.[83][84] Aniston had been telling the press that the show's ninth season would be her last,[83] and was initially hesitant to return to Friends to film its tenth and final season.[21] She explained to NBC's Matt Lauer, "I wanted it to end when people still loved us and we were on a high. And then I was also feeling like, 'How much more of Rachel do I have in me?'"[49] However, the actress ultimately agreed to complete the tenth season of Friends,[49] which was reduced from 24 to 18 episodes to accommodate Aniston's busy film schedule.[85]

Characterization and themes

Rachel is the youngest of Friends six main characters.

The Huffington Post, wrote that Rachel is a "beautiful, coveted, slightly neurotic, borderline egocentric" character.[100]

Observing that the show's main characters are each based on a

monogamous relationships at 71%. D'Avria opined, "Throughout the whole series Rachel is continually meeting men she wants to impress. Her flirtations typically fail, but she somehow winds up in a serious relationship with them."[105] Additionally, Rachel is also the only female character to admit to having had a homosexual experience (Chandler having likewise admitted to kissing a man on season 7, episode 4).[105]

Amy (Christina Applegate) who remains "selfish, condescending and narcissistic".[114]

Critical reception

Critical response towards Rachel remained mostly positive throughout the show's ten-season run.

Gunther".[117] Cosmopolitan touted Rachel "the best fictional gal pal we've ever had".[118] While People called her "spoiled-but-lovable",[89] TV Guide described Rachel as "neurotic and adorable".[119] Writing for Heat, Ellen Kerry hailed Rachel's gradual transformation from waitress to businesswoman as arguably "the best thing on tv".[120]

rock-paper-scissors.[124][125] Additionally, fans would often approach Aniston and scold her for decisions that Rachel makes within the show that they do not particularly agree with.[126]

Within the first two seasons of Friends, the character became extremely popular among women.

Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series – Comedy Or Musical.[132] Dominic Willis of TalkTalk believes that Aniston won these awards because of "her brilliant comic performances in the show".[84]

Relationships

Rachel has had several romantic relationships throughout Friends decade-long run, the most famous and prominent of which remains her

The Wire's Joe Reid is of the opinion that the show's second season is "the only time Ross/Rachel was truly great".[135] Virgin Media wrote that the couple's dynamics "had grown mightily tedious" by season ten.[136] E! cable network ranked Rachel and Ross the ninth greatest Friends couple, writing that their relationship gave "Friends fans enough iconic quotes to fill a book",[137] considering Phoebe's line "See? [Ross is] her lobster!" to be among show's most iconic.[138] Ross and Rachel's season three breakup has spawned a debate among Friends fans, who continue to argue over which of the two was at fault: Rachel for suggesting that they take a break from their relationship, or Ross for sleeping with another woman immediately afterwards. Writing for E!, Jenna Mullins ruled in favor of Rachel, elaborating, "there is no excuse for Ross sleeping with someone else after his lobster suggested taking a break", concluding that Ross "blew it".[138] The Jewish community was particularly receptive to the fact that a Jewish-American couple existed on prime time television, described by Lilith magazine as "a televisual first".[139]

Rachel and Ross are considered to be among television's greatest and most beloved couples.

Complex magazine believes that "Every other person can tell you what exactly a 'Ross and Rachel' relationship means".[156] Ultimately, Rachel's season eight pregnancy arc is credited with reviving the show's ratings and reviews.[83]

During season ten, Rachel's brief romance with friend Joey drew strong criticism from both critics and fans,

Splitsider believes that the Rachel/Joey/Ross love triangle is the main reason the show's final two seasons continued to perform well despite mediocre reviews.[157] Eric Goldman of IGN referred to the Rachel-Joey storyline as "questionable".[158] Entertainment Tonight Canada ranked "The One After Rachel and Joey Kiss" among the show's ten worst episodes at number five, with author I. P. Johnson panning it as "desperate", concluding, "Jeers for even conceiving this romantic plot; cheers for abandoning it".[159] Contrarily, E! enjoyed Rachel and Joey as a couple because they brought out positive aspects in each other's personalities and share a similar sense of humor.[160] Their relationship also spawned a debate among fans, who argued over whether making Rachel and Joey a couple was a bad idea. Jenna Mullins of E! determined that it is because "It was too far into the series to throw these two together. They didn't make sense and their romantic scenes felt forced".[138]

After Ross and Rachel's break up, there were many hints that they would eventually reunite forever, especially seasons 8–10. In the final season, Rachel wants to sleep with Ross when her father has a heart attack and wants "sympathy sex", which he turns down, not wanting to take advantage of her in the state she is in. However, Ross and Rachel do sleep together again the night before she leaves for Paris, which results in him admitting he still loves her and wants to get back together in the series finale. Rachel turns down the Paris job in order to be with Ross when she realizes she still loves him too, and the two agree "this is it", getting back together for good. Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel, confirmed that after the series finale, Ross and Rachel got remarried, happily and had at least one more child.[161]

Impact and legacy

Rachel's popularity would establish her as the show's

Entertainmentwise, Georgina Littlejohn believes Rachel inspired the character Penny in the sitcom The Big Bang Theory, noting that the characters, both waitresses, are "blonde, cute, funny, likeable girls-next-door".[97] Several baby name books and websites commonly associate the name "Rachel" with the character.[170][171][172][173]

Both Rachel and Aniston became fashion icons due to their combined influence on

StyleCaster ranked Rachel among "The 50 Most Stylish TV Characters Of All Time" at number 28.[185] Cosmopolitan magazine compiled a list of "16 things Rachel Green wore to work that we'd totally wear today",[186] while Virgin Media ranked the character among television's sexiest.[136] Brides magazine ranked Rachel's wedding dress among "The Best TV Wedding Dresses", with contributor Jane Frankfort commending the dress with "set[ting] the tone for the following 10 years together and the many milestones our favorite friends will bring".[187]

Like her character, Aniston became the show's breakout star.

romantic comedies,[84][127][198] save for some exceptions.[199] Ryan Gilbey of The Guardian noted that "Consequently, many of Aniston's movie roles ... have been Rachel in all but name."[94] Andrew Collins of Radio Times agreed, writing that Aniston "seems trapped, perpetually playing variations of Rachel".[130] According to TV Guide, Aniston is "usually called upon to play a variation of her neurotic and adorable Friends character".[119] Aniston cites Rachel as one of three roles for which she is most grateful, to whom she "owe[s] everything".[200] On being typecast in the aftermath of Rachel, Aniston admits that at times it "gives you more of a challenge, to shape people's perceptions of you".[201] as audiences struggle "to lose the Rachel tag that has made her one of the world's most recognisable faces".[202]

According to

US Weekly ranked the "Rachel" the 17th most iconic hairstyle.[219] Glamour magazine ranked the "Rachel" fourth on the magazine's list of "The 100 Best Hairstyles of All Time".[220] The magazine also cited it among "The very best hair to have graced the small screen",[221] while ranking it the most memorable hairstyle in television history.[222] The Sydney Morning Herald ranked it the second greatest television hairstyle,[211] while Metro ranked the "Rachel" the character's second-best hairstyle.[223] Ranked sixth on Entertainment Weekly's list of the "25 Fashion Moments That Changed Entertainment", the haircut was declared the most "desired" hairstyle of the Clinton era.[224]

Zahra Barnes of

Complex magazine felt that "With the haircut, the TV fame, and a true gift for comedy ... combined, Aniston became a big star", replacing Courteney Cox.[196] Hannah Lyons Powell of Glamour agreed that the hairstyle made Aniston "the definitive hair icon of the '90s and the proud owner of arguably the most infamous and influential hairstyle of all time".[221] According to Jim Vorel of Paste magazine, "'the Rachel' hairstyle became the decade's defining 'do, calling it "the definition of influence".[226] However, Rebecca Cox of Glamour is grateful that the hairstyle remained in the 1990s.[213]

In the second-season episode "The One with the Lesbian Wedding", Rachel references the popularity of her haircut when she complains that her own overbearing mother is trying to reinvent her life after hers, lamenting, "Couldn't she just copy my haircut?" Despite her association with the cut, Aniston disliked the hairstyle.[227] She found maintaining the hairstyle without McMillan's help difficult,[228] stating "I'd curse Chris every time I had to blowdry. It took three brushes—it was like doing surgery!"[229] and that she would rather shave her head than have to wear it for the rest of her life.[230] Since Aniston, several other celebrities have worn variations of the "Rachel", among them actresses Cameron Diaz,[231] Rachel McAdams,[232] Emma Watson,[233] Reese Witherspoon,[234] Julia Roberts,[235] comedian Tina Fey,[236] model Tyra Banks,[237] and singer Lily Allen.[232]
