The Friends Reunion special is out on HBO Max and we now know why the Rachael/Ross dynamic worked so well on screen. Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer had feelings for each other in real life. Jennifer hoped her first kiss with David wouldn’t be the one on screen but it was. They channeled all of their feelings for each other into Ross and Rachel.

I haven’t watched anything else from the special yet. I’m saving it for this weekend. But I just had to share this.
