Just when you thought you knew absolutely everything about Friends, an eagle-eyed fan spots something that stops you right in your tracks.
Whether it's pointing out how much of a not nice person Ross actually is (Sorry, Ross fans), or highlighting the blink-and-you'll-miss-it filming errors, it seems that fans of the show love to analyse every little detail.
However, the latest fan-theory to come to light actually makes a lot of sense.
According to Metro.co.uk, one Twitter user has come to the conclusion that Monica and Ross HAD to be brother and sister in order for the sitcom to work.
It seems that had the pair not been blood relatives, everyone would have sided with Carol in the divorce, meaning the show's dynamics would have been thrown completely off balance.
Just realized they HAD to make Monica & Ross brother and sister otherwise all the F•R•I•E•N•D•S would have stuck with Carol in the divorce

While the theory has not yet been confirmed by any of the show's creators, many Twitter users seem to think Emily's hypothesis was bang on the money.

However, many others were quick to jump to Ross' defence, reminding Emily how it how Carol who cheated on Ross - not the other way around.
First of all Carol cheated on Ross. So Ross is the one who needs support. Plus whoever has Chandler on their side doesn't need anyone else. Although would have gotten em all eventually.

It's all very interesting, what do you make of the theory?
