Friends: 10 Best Characters Only In One Episode
3. Sandy
Episode: The One With The Male Nanny (S9E6)
Friends' 200th episode found Ross and Rachel searching for a nanny for Emma, which led to the introduction of Sandy, a sensitive, caring childminder who Rachel instantly takes a liking to. But Ross... well, he takes some convincing.
Sandy is terrific at his job, but Ross thinks it's weird for a man to be looking after children as a full-time profession. Ultimately, Sandy is fired because of this, but not before he gets Ross to open up about his father, causing the eldest Geller sibling to bawl like a baby in his living room.
The best thing about Sandy is that he doesn't let anyone get him down. Despite Ross being quite rude towards him, Sandy takes the high road and is nothing but nice in return, rather than being confrontational. It's uplifting to watch a character who's just plain wholesome, all the way to their core, and his empathic nature is a trait that's easy to admire.
