So, out of the six characters in Friends, who do you think is the "main character" or protagonist of the show?

I know that the show focuses on all of the main cast, but I think that based off of the storyline of the show; the main character is Ross. The show starts out with Ross looking for love and happiness, and Rachel being the potential solution to that, while the show ends with Ross finally finding love with Rachel.

I always thought Rachael was the main character. We know its not Phoebe and Joey, I guess you could say the same for Chandler and Monica, which leaves Ross and Rachael left.

Jennifer Aniston is the first to appear in the opening credits which is the main reason why I think she's the protagonist, but then again I'm pretty sure Ross is last and he is a pretty important character as well (more important than the other cast members that is). So it's pretty hard to tell.

Yeah I agree I would Say Rachel or Ross. Joey comes in later as Chandlers Room mate and I cant remember how Phoebe comes into it. Chandler is Ross's best friend and Monica is his sister. So I would say Ross or Rachel.

I would say either Monica or Rachael they both seem to be in nearly every episode and the story lines focus around them more than all the others maybe apart from Ross.

Jennifer Aniston is first because the credits go in alphabetical order (with females being listed before males), so Schwimmer will be last.

Credits:
Jennifer Aniston
Courtney Cox
Lisa Kudrow
----
Matt LeBlanc
Matthew Perry
David Schwimmer

ross is the main character. 95% of shows have there main guy or gal last in credits. and I know also because I use to watch it when it was still on air and he made the most money

The show is centered on the whole cast but the main character would be Ross.
