Who is Erin?
Erin is introduced in the episode “The One with Ross’ Library Book” as Joey’s girlfriend. She is played by Kristin Davis. Erin meets Rachel the morning after she and Joey share a bed, and they wind up spending the entire day together since Rachel really likes her. After Joey initially wants to cut things off, Rachel and Phoebe convince him otherwise and suggest a committed relationship with Erin.
Erin enjoys sandwiches, knows four languages, cheers for the Mets, and drinks beer for lunch. She first gives off the impression that she genuinely likes Joey, but after going on a few more dates with him, she disappoints Rachel and Phoebe by saying that there is "no spark."
What is Phoebe like?
It has been almost two decades since the show ended, but its characters are still household names. One of them is Phoebe, who has always been an outgoing and unconventional character, adding to her uniqueness. Despite having gone through some traumatic events in her life, she is a happy, kind, and free-spirited person. She never goes out of her way to please people, which is her most admirable quality.
What does Phoebe call herself in Friends?
After Phoebe gets married to Mike Hannigan, Phoebe decides to change her name to Phoebe Hannigan. But when a government worker tells her that she can change her name to anything she wants, Phoebe gets over-excited. She decides to pick the name Princess Consuela Banana Hammock.
Being Phoebe, it is no surprise to fans that she chose such a name. As quirky as she is, her name should fit that. However, Mike plays Phoebe at her own game and says that he will change his name to Crap Bag. So, Phoebe decides to let go of Princess Consuela and changes her name to Phoebe Buffay-Hannigan instead.
