No Friends Reunion. Not Now, Not Ever.

News has been traveling around the internet for the past five years of a Friends reunion movie, episode or episodes. Yesterday, there was another soar in fake posts all claiming that a whole season of Friends would be coming our way in 2015. I hate it when this happens. I used to fall for it, but now after years of researching and reading up, I have just gotten wise.r I am writing to tell you that the co-creator of the show Marta Kauffmantells has issued a statement not only saying that there is no green light for a reunion right now, but also that there will be no such thing in the future. She stated: "I'm going to clear this up-it's not happening! Friends was about that time in your life when your friends are your family and once you have a family, there's no need anymore."

I don't really agree with her on her logic, because no matter you still need your friends. And to be honest, I know that the fictional characters are all still friends no matter what the circumstance or tragedy. But that's just my confidence in the fictional characters (scary, I know). We all know the real reason why there will be no reunion: not all of the stars want to come back. I don't want to ruin anyone's perception of big shot celebrities, so I will refrain from mentioning who is not willing to return to Central Perk. However, I also truly believe that if enough green was held under this person's nose, they would return to their former beloved role. 

As devastating as this news is, maybe it truly is for the better. A reunion might  be too much or ruin the characters for all of us. I think half of the fun of the show ending the way it did was the storyline was put in the hands of the fans. We got to write our own endings for Monica and Chandler, Rachel and Ross, Phoebe and Mike and Joey and the new chick and the new duck. Watching Friends has honestly been a huge part of my life. It sounds cheesy, but I have spent over a week of my life watching the show. I have more connections with those characters than any, and I can quote the show applicably in almost any situation. But, it has come to an end. And that my friends is the beauty of DVD and Blu-rays so that you can watch the episodes over and over and over again, just like Jentertainment. So, once and for all we know the truth, but we also know we can rely on the old episodes to get us through this sad time.
