For the whole first season, Ross had a crush on her in which Chandler convinced her to go for it. However, by that time Ross had found a new girlfriend.
When Rachel went on a date with another guy (not Ross) she had a few too many drinks and left a message on Ross's answering machine saying that she was over him. When Ross got the message, he chose to dump Julie for Rachel.
After a long relationship they broke up because Rachel thought Ross was being too possessive. So they went o a break in which Ross then had a one night stand.. Well that was that!
All last season they called each other names and well hated each other.
When Ross was getting married to his latest flame Emily, Rachel found out she still had feelings for him. She went to London to tell Ross that she loves him but ended up saying congratulations. When Ross was saying the vows, he said Rachel's name instead of Emily's causing a stir and for his marriage to end.
Rachel lives with Monica. She used to work at the Coffee House 'Central Perk' but then moved on to sell clothing at Bloomingdales.
Monica and Rachel were best friends in high school. She celebrates her birthday on May 18th.
