    The long-awaited special saw the sitcom’s cast heading back to the iconic set to reminisce on the show’s history. 

    Courteney Cox (Monica Gellar), Jennifer Aniston (Rachel Green), Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing), Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribbiani), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay) and David Schwimmer (Ross Gellar) reunited on the Warner Brother studio lot, where the original show was filmed, to reminisce about the iconic show’s history and influence.

    Friends is one of most successful sitcoms of all time, running for 10 seasons and 235 episodes from 1994 to 2004 and fans had been clamouring for a reunion for many years.

    While the Q&A did garner criticism for failing to delve too deeply into topics that super-fans weren’t already familiar with, it was a welcome nostalgia trip for most. 

    The biggest bombshell was Jennifer’s revelation that she and David had a sneaky off-screen crush on each other. 

    Emotional: During the special, the cast also reflected on the iconic will-they won't-they romance between Ross and Rachel, with actor David confessing he and Jennifer harboured secret crushes on each other before filming their first kiss in season two
