10 Terrible Friends Storylines That Should Have Been Cut

5. Ross And Elizabeth

Joey And Rachel Friends

If you were thought Rachel and Tag were a bad choice, they had nothing on these two.

In season six, Ross discovers Elizabeth - one of his college students - has a crush on him. Rather than do the right thing and reject her advances, he decides to pursue a relationship with the young student, risking his job and career in the process.

Despite a great guest appearance by Bruce Willis as Elizabeth's father, this whole storyline just feels quite warped. The pair know what they're doing is wrong, but it's not exactly like they're star-crossed lovers - when Ross does finally end it, it's because he comes to realise how immature she actually is. It's like he almost becomes a child himself with her, and it's all very cringe-worthy, especially with some of the pair's more intimate moments.
