Development
Conception and writing
After their short TV series Family Album was canceled, television authors David Crane and Marta Kauffman pitched Friends to NBC's then president Warren Littlefield as a sitcom about "the special time in your life when your friends are your family, "basing the show on their own experiences as young people living in New York: the main character itself is inspired by their own friends Created as a young woman who is not ready for adulthood, Rachel Green's character was originally named Rachel Robbins in the pilot.Although critics and audiences initially thought of Monica as the main character of the show when Friends aired, the authors had actually given Rachel the most prominent plot of the pilot. that Rachel and Ross would be an item for the entire series, the authors originally intended for the couple to define the show to be Joe y and Monica. However, after the success of the pilot, where Rachel and Ross' developed romance first hinted, and watching Aniston and co-star David Schwimmer on the screen for the first time, Crane and Kauffman determined that the whole series relied on "Finding all the beautiful roadblocks for they are to be with each other. "
The audience began to support Rachel and Ross's union from the beginning Friends , openly voicing their disappointment with Rachel's negligence on Ross's feelings for her. The episode that will ultimately change the relationship of friends to the rest of the series is the end of the first season "The One Where Rachel Finds Out", where Rachel finally learns the true feelings of Ross for her, at the same time finding her actually feels the same. However, the episode was hardly written because, at the time, some writers Friends expected the couple's relationship to turn into a phenomenon that eventually became. This episode was first suggested by director James Burrows; the authors felt that it was time to change the dynamics of the couple in order to avoid repetitive patterns "he missed, he was unconscious", using the work of Jane Austen writer as an inspiration on how to finally shift the arch from Ross to Rachel. Because the bets for the episode were so high, "The One Where Rachel Finds Out" became the most reworked Friends 'episode. The couple's first kiss at the end of the second season "The One Where The Ross Finds Out" was greeted with a delightful ovation from the studio audience. Crane admits that getting viewers interested in their relationship for ten years is challenging. Jonathan Bernstein of The Daily Telegraph believes that they completed this with "the possibility of a Ross and Rachel rejoining through some cliffhangers without ever putting them back together." According to the Encyclopedia of Television author of Horace Newcomb, Ross and Rachel's ever-changing relationship "transforms the traditional amnesic storyline from sitcom to something similar to episodic drama." Meanwhile, writing for The New York Review of Books, Elaine Blair agrees that Friends creates a "sense of chemistry between two characters while also placing obstacles in their path, organizing us to union long delayed. "
After Rachel and Ross got drunk while on vacation in Las Vegas during the fifth season, Schwimmer initially objected to the idea of ​​Ross's character divorcing her - her third divorce - because she felt that it took "too far." The actor explained that "The whole relationship is weird... because for [Ross] to be able to move enough to marry someone else and then return to falling in love with Rachel, then go too far." The romance story of Rachel and Joey is conceived because the authors want to delay Ross and Rachel's reunion further. Crane felt that Rachel and Joey's couples during the ten seasons "are for the greater good" because "It's not worth it." However, the players initially protested the idea, fearing that Rachel, Joey, and Ross would eventually become unloved characters and the audience would "hate Joey for chasing a pregnant woman, or hate Rachel for refusing it, or hating Ross for standing between two from them." Meanwhile, the authors also approached the concept of Rewy and baby pregnancies tentatively, worried about how they would put it into the show because they did not want to friends be a show about a baby "while" Di di di on the other hand, we do not want to pretend that there is none. "According to Robert Bianco of USA Today, the critical success and popularity of Rachel's pregnancy is ultimately responsible for" pushing up the show ratings ". When the time finally came to write the final series, "The only thing [Crane and Kauffman] knew from the beginning was that we should make Ross and Rachel together," decided, "We've been cheating the audience for 10 years with 'will they or they will not, 'and we see no advantage whatsoever in frustrating them "much longer. However, at one point the authors have negotiated an end to the series with Ross and Rachel in "the gray area where they are not together, but we are hinting there is a feeling that they may be down the road." In the end, Crane and Kauffman agree to give the audience what they want.
Casting
The last character to be cast, Rachel is portrayed by actress Jennifer Aniston, who auditioned for the role soon after rejecting the position as actor in the Saturday Night Live sketch comedy show. His decision was initially laughed at by his two friends and actor Adam Sandler, an alumni of Saturday Night Live. The actress TÃÆ' Â © a Leoni, who at the time was being referred to by the media as the next "Lucille ball", was offered the role of Rachel as the studio's first choice, but she refused to support starring sitcom The Naked Truth . Actress Elizabeth Berkley also auditioned for a role before becoming a player in teenage sitcom Saved by Bell . Other actresses who auditioned for Rachel included Denise Richards, Melissa Rivers, Nicollette Sheridan, Parker Posey, and Jami Gertz. Originally, the producers wanted to portray Courteney Cox actresses as Rachel, to which Crane and Kauffman were very interested because she was "cheerful, energy optimistic." In addition, Cox was a member of the most famous player at the time in the midst of a relatively unknown actor ensemble. However, the actress lobbied for the role of Rachel's best friend, Monica, whom she ultimately threw, because she felt that she was not "odd enough" to play with Rachel. At the same time, though unbeknownst to each other, Aniston is being considered for Monica's role, but struggles to play Rachel because she feels that the character suits her better. At one point, Cox began to regret his decision to play Monica until his character's own storyline began to improve.
Friends is the sixth Aniston sitcom; every previous attempt has been canceled prematurely. Feeling vulnerable, Aniston began to doubt himself as an actress and personally approached Littlefield to convince his career, which prompted him to audition for Friends , referred to as Friends Like This when that. Crane and Kauffman had worked with Aniston before. However, casting him as Rachel posed a challenge to the network because, at the time, Aniston simultaneously starred in the growing CBS sitcom called Muddling Through , where he played a young woman whose mother came home from prison after two years. CBS was initially reluctant to release Aniston from his contract, which required the actress to balance both roles simultaneously, travel back and forth between Muddling Through and Friends for two weeks. Meanwhile, NBC risked having to rearrange Rachel's role, replace Aniston, and reshoot some episodes if the CBS series proves successful, which would potentially cost millions of dollars. However, Littlefield remains confident that Muddling Through will fail. Essentially, the producers of Friends hope that Muddling Through will be canceled before Friends airs, while Aniston is worried that Muddling Through Will be more successful than two sitcoms despite his choice of Friends . During this time of uncertainty, Aniston was forced not to participate in some Friends related to promotion and photography; the network overrides him from this if he gets replaced. Aniston explains, "When we photographed the first grouping of cast photos... I was asked to get out of a bunch because they did not know if I was still going to play Rachel." Director James Burrows admits that Aniston has been cast in second place. The producers had started auditioning other actresses for the section, while Aniston also received phone calls from his own friends who warned him, "I auditioned for your part at Friends ." Finally, Muddling Through was canceled after just three months and ten episodes, two weeks before the pilot of Friends aired, allowing Aniston to retain his role in the event, becoming the second youngest player on the age 25. Crane appreciated Aniston's interpretation of Rachel because "in Rachel's wrong hand a bit annoying and spoiled and disliked," praised the actress for "breathing life into a difficult character."
Crane and Kauffman very much imagined Friends as ensemble comedy, and Warner Bros. initially marketed the show by making the cast performing entirely for all press, interviews and photo shoots. One of several sitcoms when not a workplace comedy, family sitcom or star of a famous comedian, Elizabeth Kolbert of The New York Times explains that each of the main characters of the show is "just as important." As a writer, Crane prefers this way because "utilizing the same six players, rather than emphasizing one or two, will allow for many story lines." Kauffman echoes "that Friends works best when all the ensembles are on stage." The only reason Aniston is credited first during the event title sequence is because the cast is registered alphabetically. The format of the event ensemble is also believed to have prevented jealousy conflicts among the players. Famous, the Friends player became the first in television history to negotiate as a group for the same salary, refused to work until their $ 100,000 per episode demands were met during the third season, which eventually increased to $ 1 million per episode by season nine and ten - about $ 25 million per year. Together with Cox and actress Lisa Kudrow, who plays Phoebe, Aniston becomes the highest-paid television actress of all time. At the time, Aniston had surpassed Cox as the most famous cast member for launching international hair trends with "Rachel" and successfully transitioning into a film career, combined with her profile relationship with her husband, actor Brad Pitt, who had been a guest on an episode event. Sometimes the producers will use the popularity of the actress to improve the ratings of the show, especially the character's seventh kiss with the actress Winona Ryder and the pregnancy bow. Aniston has told the press that the ninth season of the event will be his last, and at first hesitant to return to Friends to film his tenth and final season. He explained to NBC's Matt Lauer, "I want it to end when people still love us and we're on high ground and then I feel like, 'How much more Rachel do I have in me?'" However, the actress finally agreed to finish the tenth season Friends , which was reduced from 24 to 18 episodes to accommodate the busy Aniston movie schedule.
Characterization and theme
Rachel is the youngest of Friends six main characters. The term "spoiled" is often used to describe the character's personality during the initial appearance. EncyclopÃÆ'Â|dia Britannica describes Rachel as a spoiled and funny character. According to Rachel's original character description, written by Crane and Kauffman herself for the pilot event, her character is a spoiled but brave young woman who "works for whatever she has", unlike Monica's best friend, and initially "equipped not to do anything". James Endrst of Hartford Courant identified him as a "spoiled rich girl", while the Daily News dubbed Rachel a "frightening daddy girl." Writer Kim Etingoff writes about Rachel in her book Jennifer Aniston: From Friends to Movies that her character is "spunky and sometimes spoiled", while TV Land calls it "naive." Citing the difference between Rachel and her two female friends, Ryan Gilbey observed that characters "are not isolated by self-esteem, like Monica, or swept up in gormlessness, like Phoebe." Often identified as an archetypal "girl next door", Anne Bilson of The Telegraph describes Rachel as "funny but not too cute, pretty but not too pretty, sexy but not too sexy, careless but not too off guard. " Dominic Wills of TalkTalk describes his character as "clever but ditzy, determined but undisciplined." Meanwhile, Liat Kornowski, writing for The Huffington Post, explains that Rachel is an "egocentric, limiting, slightly neurotic, egocentric boundary" character.

According to Reign Magazine, Rachel is "a man full of vulnerability, humor and strength, while aesthetically contributing undeniable beauty and charm." Originally portrayed as a character not prepared for "the world as an adult", Rachel's personality gradually adapted to fit Aniston as the series progressed, becoming "more independent and sympathetic." According to Shadows: Movie Stars of the 2000s author Murray Pomerance, "The more limits collapse between 'real' Jennifer Aniston and Rachel, the more 'authentic' Aniston becomes." Pomerance also notes that the "breadth, normality, and relevance" of his character is similar to Aniston, while the characters and actresses themselves are very expressive, speaking "with their good hands." In his book How To Write For Television, author Madeline Dimaggio writes that although â € Å"Rahel grew in the context of the series... he will always fight with the spoiled, daddy-conscious girl who escaped from her marriage at the pilot. "Similarly, BuddyTV wrote that although Rachel" eventually evolved into a lesser absorbed in the series later, it remained the most centered in the image between the six ", while Edward Barkamian argued," He may have been selfish and mischievous, but Rachel Green is probably the most stylish and shamelessly embarrassed character on the show. "TV Land sums up character and character development in the biography of his website, writes," Rachel is a birthday shopper, but... she is not necessarily a worker born. In fact, before moving on with Monica, she never had to work at all, thanks to the generosity of her parents. Fortunately, Rachel is smart, smart and smart, so her future is bright, both as a workforce member and with her new tribe. "Checking the character's sexuality, Mike D'Avria of Splitsider determined that Rachel had the third most sexual partner, 14, as well as the highest percentage of a serious monogamous relationship at 71%. D'Avria argues," Throughout the series Rachel constantly meets with men - the guy he wants to impress. Her madness usually fails, but she somehow ends up in a serious relationship with them. "In addition, Rachel is also the only character who claims to have had a homosexual experience.

Vulture Lindsey Weber, who identifies himself as Jew, observes some of the Jewish similarities and stereotypes he shares with the character, citing the fact that Rachel refers to his grandmother Ida Green as "Bubbe", Long Island origin, and an engagement to a Jewish physician allusion to Jewish culture of character. In his book Changed for Good: A History of Feminism from Broadway Musical , author Stacy Wolf identified Rachel as one of several popular female television characters that embodied Jewish stereotypes during the 1990s and often served as " JDate Rebecca Frankel calls Rachel as one of the earliest and most prominent examples of the stereotype of the Jewish American Princess on screen.Article for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Alicia R. Korenman also recognizes the early qualities of Jewish Jewish Rachel's daughter , describes it as "spoiled, depending on the money of his father and his fiancee, horrified at the thought of working for a living and generally incompetent in his attempts to do so, and finally revealed to have a nose job", which he eventually won because they became less " from the show. "In his article" Princess-Princess, Schlemiels, Punishers and Ov erbearing Mothers ", Evan Cooper describes Rachel as a" de-semitized "Jew because, aside from her name," there has never been any discussion of growing experience in Jewish culture, no use of Yiddish, and few, if any, references to family members with a typical Jewish family name ". Cooper goes on to write that although Rachel has some American Jewish characteristics, she is more like a "little girl" stereotype. The New York Post Robert Rorke labeled Rachel "Reformed American Jewish Daughter", in contrast to her sister Amy (Christina Applegate) who remains "selfish, patronizing and narcissistic."
