PhoebeBuffay
Phoebe Buffay-Hannigan is a fictional character on the popular US television sitcom Friends (1994–2004), played by Lisa Kudrow. She is perhaps best known for her guitar playing in Central Perk and her elaborate improbable stories about her previous lives. Phoebe was known throughout the series as the eccentric, sometimes unintelligent but street smart, friend.



Season 1

Phoebe is introduced as the quirky one of the group. She has little family history revealed, except for the fact that her mother killed herself and that she has a twin sister. She is a masseuse, and she plays guitar in the coffee house.She is very bad at playing but her friends never say so.

Season 2

It is revealed that she is married to Duncan, a gay ice dancer. They divorce, because he's straight and he wants to marry somebody else. She also starts searching for her family and finds her younger half-brother, Frank Buffay, Jr.

Season 3

Phoebe hangs out with her half-brother, Frank, Jr., for the first time. She also finds out about a friend of her adoptive mother's, Phoebe Abbott, who lives on the beach. The group (including Ross's new girlfriend, Bonnie) takes a trip to the beach, where Phoebe finds out that Phoebe Abbott is her birth mother. Rachel convinces Bonnie to shave her head which then leads to Ross and rachel getting back together.

Season 4

Frank, Jr., and his wife, Alice, tell Phoebe that they are trying for a baby without success (The One With Phoebe's Uterus). Frank, Jr., asks Phoebe if she will consider being the surrogate for Frank and Alice's baby, to which Phoebe eventually agrees. Phoebe has the embryos implanted and waits to see if she gets pregnant. She takes a pregnancy test, which is positive (The One With the Embryos). Phoebe goes for an ultrasound scan, which reveals that she is pregnant with triplets. This is amazing because, as Phoebe puts it, "The doctor said there was little chance of one attaching. But three ..." Phoebe is not allowed to fly on an airplane to London for Ross's wedding due to her pregnancy, so she and Rachel stay in New York. Phoebe is left alone when Rachel flies to London to tell Ross that she still loves him.

Season 5

Phoebe feels left out when her friends talk about London, so they arrange for her and the rest of them to go to Atlantic City. But her water breaks, and she is rushed to hospital. She gives birth to triplets: Chandler, Leslie, and Frank Jr., Jr. She also dates policeman Gary, after finding his badge and pretending to be a police officer. They move in together, but break up when he shoots a bird.

Season 6

Phoebe babysits the one-year-old triplets. She convinces Chandler and Monica to help her. But Monica takes Chandler to the hospital when a tiny plastic gun is stuck in his throat, leaving her alone with the babies.

Season 7

When Monica and Chandler get engaged, an excited Phoebe believes that she should be able to sing at the wedding. Monica reluctantly agrees to allow Phoebe to sing. Joey breaks the news that Phoebe isn't really singing at the wedding, and an angry Phoebe sings: "Whenever I get married, guess who won't get to sing? Somebody named Geller, and somebody else named Bing!" Phoebe discovers a positive pregnancy test in the trash. Believing that Monica is pregnant, she tells everyone about Monica's "pregnancy." Eventually, Rachel admits that she's the one who is pregnant, and she begs Phoebe to keep it a secret. To protect Rachel, Phoebe claims that she is pregnant. Wanting to be there for his friend, Joey proposes. Phoebe agrees to marry him, but becomes angry when Joey proposes to Rachel when he finds out that she's pregnant. Phoebe is anxious to find out who the father of Rachel's baby is, and she eventually finds out that it's Ross. (At first she thinks it's Tag's, and she even calls him up to tell him that Rachel has to talk to him)

Season 8

Phoebe meets her twin's fiancee, Eric, and learns that Ursula has lied to him about many things. Eric breaks up with Ursula and decides to date Phoebe. On their first date, Eric admits that he can't look at Phoebe without seeing Ursula, and seeing Ursula angers him. They end up kissing, until Phoebe has to leave for a massage appointment. She comes back and finds out that Ursula came in after she left. Eric, thinking it was Phoebe, had sex with her. Realizing their relationship is too weird, Phoebe breaks it off with Eric. Phoebe reads her tea leaves and predicts that she's about to meet the man of her dreams. She assumes that the man of her dreams is Jim, a man she has been seeing everywhere while out on her errands. When she talks to him, he asks her out despite being bemused when she misunderstands the pretty obvious meaning of a remark he makes, but when they go on the date, he turns out to be a nasty, unpleasant person who makes highly inappropriate vulgar comments to intimidate her for his own amusement, and he also claims, most likely lying in yet another attempt to intimidate her, to be a writer of "erotic novels for children" which are "wildly unpopular." At her new drycleaner's, Phoebe meets a different man named Parker, who unlike bullying Jim seems to be a nice guy, which causes Phoebe to decide to date him instead. But while Parker does appear to be a genuinely nice guy, he is also unbelievably over-enthusiastic, and also impulsive and oblivious to the fact that he's irritating people, most likely unknowingly suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. They attend Jack and Judy Geller's anniversary dinner, and after they both witness Monica's ridiculous, disastrous attempt at a speech which bemuses them and everyone else in the room, Phoebe takes Parker back to her apartment and breaks up with him when she tires of his constant enthusiasm. When Rachel's due date comes and goes without her giving birth, Phoebe and Monica bet on when the baby will come. Phoebe bets that it will come later, and she keeps winning. While Rachel is in labor, Phoebe meets a cute man with a broken leg. She convinces Joey to find out his name and hospital room number, as well as personal information from the man himself. When he eventually finds out, he is very angry with Pheobe.

Season 9

Joey sets Phoebe up with a random guy from the coffee house, who turns out to be Mike Hannigan. They have a good time together, but they break up when Mike doesn't want to get married again. They come back together because he can't live without Phoebe.

Season 10

Mike and Phoebe get married in an outdoor winter wedding. After seeing Monica and Chandler's twins for the first time, they decide to have a baby.
