Ross and Rachel from Friends
It’s hard to come up with a list of TV couples and not mention Ross and Rachel. A staple of the 1990s, the pair were will they/won’t they for the majority of the time that Friends was on the air. One of the reasons they’re one of the best will they/won’t they couples is because, despite not knowing whether or not they would end up together in the end (but let’s be real, we knew they would), it didn’t stop them from going from friends to lovers, to being “on a break” and then back to being friends, and finally lovers, again (whew!). Their relationship was fun and emotional (their break-up episode, although completely justified, still makes me teary). They definitely knew how to make the on-and-off-again relationship work without ever really making it tiresome. They always had other things going for them and even when they weren’t together, they were still very much supportive of each other. But in the end, as we all know, they were always each other’s “lobster.” – Mae Abdulbaki
