Bright explain that the approximation of Ross and Rachel going on a gap came “ a petty bit after ” but it allowed them to have some fun with the show and its reference and “ give multitude something to settle for ” . In addition to that , even though they were all aware that viewers wanted Ross and Rachel to stay together ( and understandably so after all the drama they belong through with Paolo , Julie , and more ) , they realized that the sexual tension between them had disappeared since their first osculation , so they need to excite things up .

Why Friends Needed Ross & Rachel To Break Up
The “ will - they - won’t - they ” place Ross and Rachel were in during the first seasons ofFriendswas a big part of the show ’s appeal back then , as the rest of the group dealt with their own mate or want of them , so Bright is correct in saying that once they finally got together , some of their spark vanish . However , Ross and Rachel breaking up was also necessary as their relationship was wrick toxic due to Ross ’ jealousy and more , and it would have been boring and concerning seeing them together like that all the time . Ross and Rachel remain together since season 2 would n’t have allowed the serial to progress , either , and their break - up at long last made way for other playfulness and interesting storyline and moment , such as Ross saying Rachel ’s name at the altar alternatively of Emily ’s , Ross and Rachel have Emma , and Rachel dating Joey . Surely , the “ we were on a rupture ” argument has become fag out now , but it was a necessary addition to Ross and Rachel ’s story inFriends .
