We look at the Geller siblings: Ross and Monica.

We explore why Monica said “If I could choose my parents, I’d choose yours” to her brother and whether her obsessive neatness is a problem.

Plus, we ask why Ross’ intellectualism is a defence mechanism and how friends really can be your support network.

Don’t forget to check out Season 1 of Friends to avoid spoilers.
