Ross & Rachel

Not real, you say? Of course it was real! Rachel and Ross were the lifeline to Friends viewership around the globe, and when they broke up fans were heartbroken. And when Ross slept with someone else, there was no mercy. Their ups and downs were followed meticulously for every season, and thank God they ended up together in the end; otherwise, creators Marta Kaufman and David Crane would have had to answer big time!
