‘Friends’ touched many hearts!

In the special episode, fans from around the world spoke about their experiences with Friends and the kind of impact it made on their lives. While some picked up themes and ques from the characters and episodes - like ‘The One With the Proposal’ – some found true friends and solace in the company of the characters. Whether it was Ghana or India, the sitcom made their fans smile even in the toughest moments of their lives. One of the fans, Liz (Mexico), “…Friends was what I came home to. Friends was… they were my friends! Since I didn’t really have any.”

Another fan from Ghana, Nancy, said, “They have no idea the kind of impact they’ve actually made in this world. So, when they sleep they should relax knowing that they have saved more lives. Even if they know them, I am one!”

Towards the end of the episode, we, as fans, get closure as the cast tells what they think the characters must be doing today. Jenifer thinks that Rachel and Ross maybe have gotten married with kids while Ross still is ‘playing with the bones’. According to Courteney, Monica and Chandler are also together and happy, though Monica is still very competitive and Chandler still makes her laugh every day. Lisa shares her idea about Phoebe’s life right now, saying that she and Mike have kids and are probably in Connecticut. She continues to say that her character must still be advocating her couture and be into music and art. And about Joey, Matt thinks that he probably opened a sandwich shop in Venice Beach. If that were the case, we would be the first in line to order one of his favourites a ‘meatball sandwich'!

Although this episode was a much-needed reunion for the show’s die-hard fans, it’s overwhelming to know that this may be the last time all the cast members are in the same room, talking about our favourite sitcom.

All that we can say is that Friends will always have a place in our hearts, but ‘now I got closure!’
