Mona I hope you found this interesting. Spin-offs are usually (from what I have seen) for the supporting characters. If you followed the show, you would see of course Ross has the most lines cause his character talks a lot. dud.But whatever you say about Phoebe - wacky, weird, 'Smelly Cat'-singing hippie Phoebe - the characterisation was mostly consistent throughout the 10-year run, but she still showed enough growth so that by the time of her wedding to Mike (Paul Rudd), we as viewers understood what an important milestone it was in her dysfunctional life.And his hug-happy, genuinely loving bromance with Chandler in the first few series was adorable - and, I would argue, genuinely groundbreaking at the time.Personally, I've always been a Phoebe supporter, and knowing that might be enough for the anti-Phoebe crowd to dismiss this whole section.
