This Wild Friends Theory Suggests Phoebe Was Hiding a Huge Secret (& It Would’ve Changed Everything Fans Know About the Show)

by

The theory suggests that Phoebe, a central figure in the show, might have been concealing something significant, which could have significantly altered the series’ course. Since Phoebe was among the characters shaping the show’s plot, any hint of romantic feelings towards another character would have had a profound impact on the narrative.

Throughout the series of ‘Friends’, Phoebe was involved in several relationships. Her relationship with David significantly influenced her, and if he hadn’t departed for work in Minsk, they might have made a good couple. However, she eventually ended up with a character from the show named Mike. They were an ideal match, and the audience wholeheartedly supported them. Despite it appearing that Phoebe had found her fairy-tale ending with Mike, one viewer speculates that her true feelings were actually directed towards another significant character.

A Redditor Thinks Phoebe Was in Love With Chandler

A Reddit user posits an intriguing theory that it wasn’t only Monica who harbored feelings for Chandler. They suggest Phoebe may have had feelings for him too, as she seems to repeatedly try to disrupt his relationship with Monica. This theory gains some credibility given several occasions where she attempts to meddle in their relationship.

She disclosed the truth that Monica had initially intended to sleep with Joey, until she met Chandler; this was a secret that hadn’t been widely known yet. Additionally, it was Phoebe who informed Chandler about Monica’s private lunch with Richard, effectively spreading the news before everyone else found out.

Beyond that, Rachel brought Monica to a person she thought was her soul mate. They shared many common interests, which left Chandler feeling uneasy about the situation. To be fair, Rachel was just as enthused by their similarities, but it was Phoebe who initiated things between them.

In the show, these humorous instances highlighted Chandler and Phoebe’s unique friendship, but some of Phoebe’s unusual outbursts seemed to deviate from typical friendly behavior. A possible interpretation is that Phoebe was developing feelings for someone, which might explain her extreme actions in several scenes. Love could have been the driving force behind these instances.

On the Other Hand, Maybe Phoebe Thought Monica Should Be With Someone Else

It could be argued that Phoebe, having a stronger connection with Monica compared to Chandler, might have thought she was serving Monica’s best interests by suggesting she find happiness elsewhere instead of with Chandler. This sentiment was not unique to Phoebe.

Occasionally, other characters subtly express the idea that Monica is too exceptional for Chandler. Despite their closeness, they weren’t shy about voicing their opinions. Even Chandler seemed to agree in subtle ways. However, if they truly believed Monica deserved more, a better approach would have been to discuss it with her or try to comprehend why they were compatible. It was common knowledge that Phoebe, being deeply caring towards her friends, likely wanted what was best for Monica.

Phoebe was Generally an Outspoken Character

As a die-hard fan, I’ve always admired how candidly Phoebe expressed herself on the show. Whether her thoughts were conventional or outlandish, she never held back. It was a characteristic that endeared her to many viewers, and none seemed to want to alter it. Her frankness often proved valid, especially when she called people out for their unfairness. A prime example is when she organized a birthday dinner and everyone was late (only Joey showed up on time). She made it clear that she wasn’t pleased, and rightfully so.

Considering all that, the Reddit user’s list of Phoebe’s attempts to split Monica and Chandler might be attributable to Phoebe just being herself, given that she was the most unconventional among the six primary characters. Her actions often mirrored her lifestyle choices, which included not backing down from expressing what she truly felt. This characteristic extended to her words as well.

The idea that Phoebe secretly loved Chandler offers a fresh perspective on their dynamic, and if true, it raises questions about her feelings for Mike and respect towards Monica. If she had deep feelings for Chandler, did this mean she never truly loved Mike or couldn’t let go of her relationship with Chandler despite Monica? Fans might find comfort in understanding Phoebe as an outgoing character, but exploring fan theories adds to the fun.
