It been years since Friends wrapped up and we’re all still as obsessed as ever.
After all, before Netflix or Stan, Friends was the original binge-worthy TV series.
Seriously, no one wants to think about how many hours we spent watching fictional characters deal with fictional scenarios over and over and over again. No one.
But just like any sitcom with an ensemble cast, every Friends fan had a favourite character.
Even over a decade later, fans still argue over which of the six main characters is best.
But we have news. Big news.
It turns out Friends may have actually had a main character after all.
Revisit one of the most iconic scenes from Friends – the couch pivot. Post continues below…
According to Metro, data scientist Yashu Seth has done the research and there’s one very clear winner.

Sorry this dude had way too much time on his hands...
I thought you meant Ross at first
regardless of who had how many lines, the main character was monica. monicas fmr roomie, pheobe- monicas then roomie and bff, rach - monicas geeky older brother , ross - monicas neighbour then hubby, chandler - monicas neighbour and once a crush, joey.
it all revolves around her
take her out and the only lasting relationship was joey - chandler as roomis
Totally agree. Rewatched the entire series beginning to end recently and Monica is the main character.
I think the writers intended Monica to be the main character (like The Simpsons was intended to revolve around Bart and not Homer and Family Ties around the parents and not Alex) but it became Ross after not terribly long.
That’s what I always thought too!
the series ended with monica leaving the apartment. so i still say it was always monica
