Rachel Karen Green, played by Jennifer Aniston, is now pregnant with Ross' (played by David Schwimmer) baby.  After running out of her wedding to Barry, and leaving a rich life from her father's money, she goes to live with Monica, her best friend from high school.  She takes a job working as a waitress at Central Perk, and another time at Bloomindales, and she now works as a buyer for Ralph Lauren.  Her current relationship status is single.



Monica E. Gellar, played by Courteney Cox Arquette, is a professional chef.  She was a rather large person in high school, but after being called fat one Thanksgiving by Chandler she lost all her weight.  Rachel was her best friend in high school, and after Rachel runs out on her marriage to Barry, they become roomates.  Monica likes everything perfect and clean. She is married to Chandler (played by Matthew Perry).



Phoebe Buffay, played by Lisa Kudrow, is the quirky one in the group.  She is a massusist, and once was pregnant with triplets, which she was carrying for her brother and his wife, who were unable to conceive children.  She also has a twin sister, Ursula Pamela Buffay, who is a waitress at Riffs (a popular restaurant from the show Mad About You) / a porn star using Phoebe's name, also played by Lisa Kudrow.



Chandler Muriel Bing, played by Matthew Perry, is the most humerous of the group.  His humor revolves around making fun of things and people, and sarcasm.  He is married to Monica, and his best friend is Joey Tribbiani, his former roomate that lives across the hall.  He is a data processor.



Joseph "Joey" Francis Tribianni, played by Matt LeBlanc, is an actor, playing Dr. Drake Remore on Days Of Our Lives.  He currently lives in an apartment with Rachel, across the hall from Chandler and Monica.  He's Italian and he loves sandwiches.  He is the womanizer of the group.



Ross Gellar, played by David Schwimmer, is Monica's geeky older brother.  He always had a crush on Rachel back in high school, and now is the father of her baby.  Ross is a palentologist/university professor.  He as well has a son, Ben, from his first wife, Carol, who became a lesbian and left him for a woman named Susan.  He married twice since then, once to Emily Walthow (played by Helen Baxendale) but after saying Rachel's name at the alter, divorced her, and married Rachel while drunk in Vegas.  He is currently single.
