His anger dissipates when Rachel gets Marcel back, and Ross decides to tell Rachel how he feels. Ross allows Rachel to monkey-sit Marcel, and he becomes angry when he learns that she lost the monkey. Ross, feeling sympathy for the woman of his dreams, allows Rachel to win the game, thus confirming to Chandler and Joey that he's in love with Rachel.
When Rachel is told that she did not receive her dream job, she becomes depressed. When the group plays poker, Ross and Rachel become extremely competitive. Ross tries to tell Rachel how he feels but changes his mind when Rachel tells him that she is sick of men. Rachel eventually breaks up with Paolo after he makes a move on Phoebe. Ross and Nora end up kissing, which upsets Chandler. His hatred for Paolo is so great that Chandler's mom, Nora Tyler Bing, comforts him and tells him that someday he and Rachel will end up together. Frustrated, Ross exclaims, "You don't get it!" before he passes out with his head on Rachel's lap. " Rachel, believing their relationship to be strictly platonic, tells Ross that she loves him as well. His plans are ruined when Rachel meets Paolo during a blackout, who is an Italian man living in the same building as her and Monica. They start dating which causes Ross to become jealous and take a deep dislike to Paolo. The exception is when he overdoses on medicine during his Nana's funeral and says to Rachel, "I love you the most.
He realizes that he still has feelings for her and he plans on telling her. Ross is overly depressed over his divorce from Carol until he is reunited with his high school crush, Rachel. Although Rachel visits the bar (which would become Central Perk) in 1993, Rachel and Ross don't actually meet at that time. In 1988 Ross met and fell in love with Carol Willick and over the years they got married and remained happily married for a few years, with Ross drifting apart from Rachel over time. When Carol fell in love with another woman, it came as a mentally traumatic shock for Ross which not only resulted in the culminating his divorce with her but also birthed intense levels of paranoia, insecurity, and fear in his burdened psyche. Chandler met Monica and Rachel in 1987 when Ross brought him home for Thanksgiving. After though, Phoebe apologized for what she did and the two made up.Īfter High School, he spent some time during the summer in his grandmother's apartment ( Monica's) trying to make it as a dancer, something he didn't even mention to Rachel. In college, he met Chandler, and they became best friends. He only found out who the thief was decades later, though Ross tried to make Phoebe forget about it.
She stole his backpack, taking with her the only copy of a comic that Ross wrote, Science Boy.
She then spread a rumor regarding this all over the high school (though Ross apparently didn't know that she'd seen him doing this or that everyone in the high school knew about it until many years later).Īt some point when he was 12, Ross was mugged by a 14-year-old girl (who was Phoebe). However, Rachel unknowingly returned the favor in a way after catching Ross making out with Lincoln High School's 50 year old librarian. The rumor in question is that she, as Ross put it, "had both male and female reproductive parts" and that, as Will put it, "her parents flipped a coin and decided to raise her as a girl." It was so wide spread even Chandler heard it in his all-boys high school. To spite her, the two of them spread a rumor about her that everyone in the entire high school (apart from Rachel herself) heard about. Dealing with the fact that she never seemed to notice his feelings for her, in a very immature way, Ross co-founded an "I-Hate-Rachel" Club with Will (and an exchange student from Thailand who had no idea what the club was for). He befriended a fellow student named Will Colbert, who was frequently bullied and teased by Rachel for being fat. When growing up, he attended the same high school as Rachel (as did Monica) where he eventually developed a crush on her and kept it to himself, though Rachel later admitted she knew about his crush, but didn't return those feelings. When Ross was younger, he dressed up as a woman (with his mother's clothes) and sang, "I am Bea / I drink tea / Won't you dance around with me?". He was born to Jack and Judy Geller and raised by them on Long Island, New York. He is Monica's older brother.
