Lisa Kudrow is offering her renewed opinion on a great Friends debate
NEED TO KNOW
In a new interview, the actress was asked whether she thought Ross Geller and Rachel Green were indeed "on a break" when Ross slept with another woman in season 3
While Kudrow earlier said yes, she now says she's "switched" how she feels about the issue
Lisa Kudrowis weighing in — again — on the greatest debate in all 10 seasons ofFriends:whether Ross and Rachel were on a break.
As anyFriendsfan can recall, the devastating breakup between Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) in season 3 centered around one question: Were they on a break when Ross slept with another woman?
In the show, Rachel made clear that she felt the couple were not broken up when Ross had slept with another woman ("hot copy girl" Chloe). Ross, however, insisted they were "on a break," and that warranted him being with another woman. Even when faced with a reconciliation in season 4, Ross couldn't bring himself to fess up to being in the wrong, ensuring the iconic couple wouldn't date again (besides a one-night stand in which they conceived baby Emma) until the series finale.

However, speaking toEntertainment Tonightrecently, 62-year-old Kudrow said, "I've switched," when asked where she stands on the issue.
"Ross was ridiculous, what a baby! You can't plan a future with that guy," Kudrow told the outlet.

Kudrow has previously shared that she didn't re-watch the show until after the death of co-starPerry of an accidental drug overdosein October 2023.
"God forbid anybody walk into my house and saw me watching my show, I'd be mortified," shejoked in 2024. "But after Matthew passed away, there were marathons and I wanted to watch. It felt like part of the remembering, grieving, remembering, all that, and just enjoying, and celebrating. And, boy, I appreciated everybody on it."
"Like, Ben!" she continued. "Schwimmer's hilarious. Matt LeBlanc is making me laugh out loud. Jennifer, come on! She's so good. Look what she just did, she's so good. And Courteney, it's like, oh my god, you're hilarious. How did you never get nominated for an Emmy? And Matthew, of course. Genius. At the time he was blowing me away."
