Friends Director James Burrows Explains Reason Behind Ross And Rachel’s Break-Up

We get it now. Kind of.

Ross and Rachel.

There’s been a lot of talk about the Friends reunion and we can’t wait to see one of our favourite TV couples reunited.

We’ve heard a couple of snippets from the show already (Lisa Kudrow apparently had to audition twice for the part of Phoebe) and director James Burrows also gave a little background as to why Ross and Rachel broke up.

Speaking at the NBC reunion show, Burrows said: “It’s the same as Sam and Diane (from ​Cheers). 

“They flirted for a lot longer, but you have to shake it up. … If you don’t fight, and if you don’t get angry, you have no place to go”.

We guess it makes sense in theory BUT that doesn’t mean we have to be okay with it.
