Things I Like: Susan Bunch (Friends)

Susan Bunch Friends sitcom Jessica Hecht

Susan Bunch was a decent character on the sitcom Friends. But I somewhat disliked her at times, knowing that she was the cause of divorce for Ross’ first marriage.

While I believe Carol was truly bisexual, I think Susan was legitimately a lesbian.

While some things on Friends did not age well in the eyes of the LGBTQ community, their wedding was the first lesbian wedding on television. Which is pretty progressive, as this ceremony wouldn’t have been legal in New York for many years.

I did like that she did have a more pleasant relationship with Ross after a few years on the show. Susan was his son’s other mother, and it is a shame when parents fight amongst themselves.
