On and off, and on again. Off… On… On a break!? Loving each other as hell, but never being able to keep it up for too long – heard of the scenario? You must have, because the relationship between Ross and Rachel has converted itself in a genuine TV classic, repeating itself over and over again in every sitcom that has come since. The love story did sort of keep the show spinning, but there’s another explanation for its character as delivered by James Burrows:
“It’s the same as Sam and Diane [from Cheers]. They flirted for a lot longer, but you have to shake it up.… If you don’t fight, and if you don’t get angry, you have no place to go.”
