Seemingly low-key but as wittily crafted as the first two series, this season develops minor characters–Gunther, Central Perk’s proprietor, who is in love with Rachel; Phoebe’s half-brother Frank (played by rising-star Giovanni Ribisi); the chick and duck–who will play key parts later on while the foundations for crucial story lines developed in Series 4 are laid down. The most momentous story arc covers Rachel and Ross splitting up when she suggests they take a “break” and he sleeps with the girl from the copy shop. Phoebe gets to know her little brother Frank who falls in love with the much-older Alice, for whom Phoebe will bear triplets in a later series. Monica pines after Richard and then starts dating the millionaire Pete, although towards the end Chandler is trying to persuade her he’s good boyfriend material–clearly an omen of things to come.
