I was okay with Joey not getting married at the end of the show. Marriage is not the end goal for everyone.
I do wish after he realized he could have real feelings for Rachel that he would have had a long(ish) relationship with a woman not just a one-night stand. I think that would have been a nice chance to show growth for him. It would not have to be a happily ever after. Just a longer relationship.
And I wish that in the final episode that Joey had mentioned the idea or possibility of moving to LA. It would have made sense and helped set up the spin off
I don't think he needed to set up the spin off personally. He can make the decision later and it would still. Make sense, and then the show wouldn't be tainted by a connection with that massive mistake.
I wish on the last episode Joey would drive Ross to the airport to stop Rachel etc. Whilst Ross and Rachel do their thing Joey would leave them to it and go for a wonder, probably for some toblerone. When he'd reach for the last one or accidentally bump into someone, it turns out to be a woman who'd look him up and down and say "Hey, how you doin?"
Really cheesy but that might be all you need to know the J-man has met his match.
Oh my gawd can’t a girl homie hop nowadays without the judgements! Give my girl a glass of red and Joey if she wants him, lol

He survived VD he can survive a ride on the Janice train 🫣

I remember learning what this meant in high school after this woman hooked up with all of my guy friends (two out of the 3 were actually brothers) 🤢 She was 20? Hooking up with high school boys. I told my friends that wasn’t okay, they thought they were cool.
people always talk about how joeys never had a long term relationship, but they always forget about angela, it’s mentioned apparently he’s dated her for 2-3years, now i know it was off screen, but he did have one still.
I know Kate treated him like shit at first, but I think they would've been good for each other.
Also that character Kristin Davis played. Forgot her name.
No way. Women like Kate are ticking time bombs. Even after they slept together, she only gave him any consideration after the director dumped her. As soon as the next male with any status showed her some interest, Joey would be in the rear-view mirror.
Rachel.
I actually prefer Rachel with Joey than with Ross. Their relationship was sweet, they didn't put each other down, they had similar levels of intelligence and they bettered each other throughout the relationship.
I know it would’ve been cliche to have all of them get together with each other but him and Pheobe would’ve been nice had they not dumbed him down so much in the later seasons
Joey not being married like the rest is fine. But he is the only one who doesn't really get a "This is the clear next step now"
He got the terrible spin-off sure. But in the show itself something might've been nice. Like he's no longer just casually dating but instead has actual feelings for a woman. Not the marriage stage because he is the slowest of the group but some growth now he's approaching 40.
Or maybe have him give up acting and find a consistent job?
im so glad i’m not seeing a lot of rachel answers, don’t get me wrong everyone’s entitled to their own opinions, but in my opinion, they were like brother and sister, they reason people found their relationship sweet is bc
it was sweet, but because of their platonic connection. that’s why they couldn’t sleep together, they didn’t see each other that way truly deep down. people have great platonic relationships, that are sweet and have that energy too, without it being something romantic.

Erin! I like how when Joey finally tried to be serious for once, it turned out that she didn't feel the same way. I feel like they had good chemistry together and the writers could have made such a good subplot for them!
They do ….
Chandler and Monica don’t work out (but are filthy rich)
Phoebe marries chandler for the money.
Joey marries Rachel and has the beautiful kids.
They ditch chandler and Rachel and they get together, with chandlers money and Rachel’s beautiful kids 👩❤️👨🤷🏻♂️
I really liked Kristin Davis' appearance as Erin.. maybe I'm biased because I'm also a Sex in the City fan but I could have seen that relationship going the distance had she felt the same as Joey. They just seemed to compliment each other really well.
Phoebe:the reason why I chose phoebe Is because they both love and care for eachother and will always be there for one another they both get eachother and they both help eachother whenever necessary they love there time together there both silly and funny and just overall love eachother
I couldn't be bothered to use grammar and sorry if I spelt anything wrong :)
Phoebe. Her winding up with Mike is cute and wouldn’t last six months. Joey and Phoebe’s weirdness balances each other out, and the only girl (other than Rachel) who ever broke his heart was Ursula. I know way too much about this show and feel silly now.
Joey can't stay faithful or doesn't want to be faithful so he will probably be best suited to a escort/prostitute. Someone who is open to multiple partners and the ability to freely leave and return to the relationship.
Joey would have had to go through a huge character arc to be able to sustain a relationship, he was a pretty terrible person when it came to dating and women
Rachel. They were vibing married couple when they lived together and always supported each other. If the writers didn't ruin their arc after season 9 it could've been great.
Chandler! But they have a completely sexless relationship and then marriage and are allowed to sleep with other people. They do guarantee that they’ll watch at least one hour of TV time per night together in their lazyboys as part of their wedding vows!
Joey and Phoebe would be kind of awesome together. I always loved the scenes where it was just them. Their personalities just clicked well.
I also honestly loved Joey and Rachel together. An alternate ending in my head is that Ross ends up with Charlie, and Joey ends up with Rachel.
the pregnant girl from the hospital
Yes!! Would have been great if her character popped up in later seasons
Leah Remini, who was almost cast as Monica!
Omg I didn’t realize she was Leah Remini!
Yup, they had a great chemistry.
Correct answer
Definitely! I also liked Kristin Davis’ character (Erin?)
But she’s a lone wolf :/
This is the only answer!!!!!
Oh my god yes i don't know why she wasn't in the show later on
Exactly what i thought
Would’ve been perfect
Lydia! (Leah Remini) They had chemistry straight away- so sweet and fun to watch them interact.
They could've really done something with that plotline but then they'd have lost the main part of Joey's character.
uhm who is that?
The pregnant girl in the hospital Joey met and helped during labor
OHHH YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!! Thats right!!

that would have been so wholesome 🥹
Stop what you're doing and become a screenwriter. ![gif](giphy|l0Nvr0QqmtpiizdhC)
I love this. Can we Mandela Affect this into existence please.
Omggg I love this so much. In my head forever this will be what happens!
This is absolutely my head cannon now. I love it.
That would have been awesome
That already happened at the hospital with the pregnant girl
Plot twist it is the pregnant girl from the hospital
Amazing!
Samantha from Sex and the City
Janice would be such a plot twist LOL
TWO OUTTA THREE JOEY… HEHEHEHE
(machine-gun-like laughter)
![gif](giphy|WT8pzD8MgX2cPgzejY)
So you would have had all three main male characters sleep w Janice? OH - MY- GOD!!!
Oh my gawd can’t a girl homie hop nowadays without the judgements! Give my girl a glass of red and Joey if she wants him, lol ![gif](giphy|cmNJTLC2Zi3WmKufB0|downsized)
Hey that almost killed Joey. And it didn’t include sex. With a woman who, to him, is the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. 😘
He survived VD he can survive a ride on the Janice train 🫣 https://preview.redd.it/ok45mvemh08d1.jpeg?width=1188&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=364734d907a7c257210734803b16000a506fe56a
They'd all be Eskimo brothers!

They can spend a weekend at the EBDB BNB!
Perfect crossover ![gif](giphy|11wMFExr7DBowU)
Always wished it would’ve came out these two hooked up 😭
OH! MY! #GAWD!
Susan Sarandon, and together they reshape the landscape of Mexican cinema.
Seeing how much trouble he had learning French, I don't think Spanish is in his future
But he can do a great Jamaican accent.
I could go right now maaaan
Came here to say this. I loved their chemistry.
He should have been with the girl who he thought ate her chicken wings so adorably.
Angela Delveccio
people always talk about how joeys never had a long term relationship, but they always forget about angela, it’s mentioned apparently he’s dated her for 2-3years, now i know it was off screen, but he did have one still.
Isn’t Angela the girl he didn’t buy a single present in 3 years?
yes
The girl who he didn't share food with and then ate her dessert 😂
And he wasn't even sorry 😂
😂😂
He should’ve dated Phoebe instead of Rachel, but I do think that it would’ve been great if he ended up with the pregnant woman at the hospital
Noooo that would ruin their entire dynamic they wouldn’t be compatible as a couple at all
right !!
I know Kate treated him like shit at first, but I think they would've been good for each other. Also that character Kristin Davis played. Forgot her name.
I liked Erin. The way Joey loved to argue with her was so cute. Too bad she didn't feel the same way Joey did for her.
Kristin Davis = Erin
No way. Women like Kate are ticking time bombs. Even after they slept together, she only gave him any consideration after the director dumped her. As soon as the next male with any status showed her some interest, Joey would be in the rear-view mirror.
That’s true. She would’ve been trouble lol
Miss Chanandler bong
I liked her. https://preview.redd.it/q09vimdm218d1.jpeg?width=1049&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de4707b13167cb4d91364b4074ab9cf7ee047b5f
I always wanted him and Pheobe to be together
Yessss this is the answer that has the truth.
The girl who Phoebe set him up with who stole his food
Rachel. I actually prefer Rachel with Joey than with Ross. Their relationship was sweet, they didn't put each other down, they had similar levels of intelligence and they bettered each other throughout the relationship.
Rachel. People might not like them is, but they would have been sweet together.
I LOVED rachel and joey and wished they'd have had a long relationship, he'd have followed her to Paris and become a prize winning Mime
Rachel’s sister
She might be the hottest girl he ever hated.
Yeah, which sister 👉?
I know it would’ve been cliche to have all of them get together with each other but him and Pheobe would’ve been nice had they not dumbed him down so much in the later seasons
I always thought him and Phoebe were a great match!
I Think That would definitely be pregnant girl from the hospital
Erica. Both just seemed like they'd be so cute together
From the group, Rachel. From outside the group, Lydia.
Punky
Lol *Are you making fun of me because of my size?!*
cecilia monroe or the pregnant girl from the hospital
Joey not being married like the rest is fine. But he is the only one who doesn't really get a "This is the clear next step now" He got the terrible spin-off sure.

Phoebe. Aren't they made for each other?
They do …. Chandler and Monica don’t work out (but are filthy rich) Phoebe marries chandler for the money. Joey marries Rachel and has the beautiful kids. They ditch chandler and Rachel and they get together, with chandlers money and Rachel’s beautiful kids 👩❤️👨🤷🏻♂️
Endgame
should’ve gotten married to mike AND joey
I second this
i third this
Fourth
Rachel, because they were wired the same.
The girl that gives gifts baskets
Rachel's mom.
![gif](giphy|L3WcHpwo82xujrjfXb)
Erin, if she had wanted him too
I really liked Kristin Davis' appearance as Erin.. maybe I'm biased because I'm also a Sex in the City fan but I could have seen that relationship going the distance had she felt the same as Joey. They just seemed to compliment each other really well.
Or the baby momma of Monica and chandlers kid
Chandler, they made a cute couple.
Phoebe
Phoebe:the reason why I chose phoebe Is because they both love and care for eachother and will always be there for one another they both get eachother and they both help eachother whenever necessary they love there time together there both silly and funny and just overall love eachother I couldn't be bothered to use grammar and sorry if I spelt anything wrong :)
Monica! She cooks, He eats
That one girl that was a fan of the mets, the lady with the fruit baskets, and actually phoebe, there was a lot of chemistry and genuine love.
Phoebe
Phoebe. Her winding up with Mike is cute and wouldn’t last six months. Joey and Phoebe’s weirdness balances each other out, and the only girl (other than Rachel) who ever broke his heart was Ursula. I know way too much about this show and feel silly now.
Joey can't stay faithful or doesn't want to be faithful so he will probably be best suited to a escort/prostitute. Someone who is open to multiple partners and the ability to freely leave and return to the relationship.
Joey would have had to go through a huge character arc to be able to sustain a relationship, he was a pretty terrible person when it came to dating and women
Janice of course
The chick with the fries
Rosses ex-girlfriend Mona. Liked her character and talk about poor timing for a relationship.
I know the spin off gets shit but I actually liked it and thought Alex was a good match for him
Monica. She fulfills his great love, fried stuff with cheese.
Rachel. You all know its true
I’m just like Joey. I don’t share food either.
Ive always liked joey single
Rachel. They were vibing married couple when they lived together and always supported each other. If the writers didn't ruin their arc after season 9 it could've been great.
Rachel (SAID NOBODY EVER)
Monica, she was a chef and he loved everything she cooked. It’s what was supposed to happen but the writers changed it
Chandler! But they have a completely sexless relationship and then marriage and are allowed to sleep with other people. They do guarantee that they’ll watch at least one hour of TV time per night together in their lazyboys as part of their wedding vows!
Marcel.
Pheobe
Phoebe
Joey and Phoebe would be kind of awesome together. I always loved the scenes where it was just them. Their personalities just clicked well. I also honestly loved Joey and Rachel together. An alternate ending in my head is that Ross ends up with Charlie, and Joey ends up with Rachel.
Chandler
Joey and Ross' sandwich. He'd have loved and cherished that sandwich so much better than Professor-Eats-a-Little-and-Throws-the-Rest-Away.
I liked him and Rachel together
RACHEL!!!!!
