It's sweet that Phoebe got her happy ending, but Paul Rudd wasn't wrong when he noted that his character Mike was out of place in the Friends finale.
While it makes sense that Paul Rudd’s Mike ended up in the Friends finale in terms of Phoebe’s story, it also adds up that the star felt his character was more than a little out-of-place in the show’s closing scene. It is never easy to wrap up a long-running sitcom, but this is a particularly tricky thing for hang-out shows to pull off successfully.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While some finales, like How I Met Your Mother’s divisive last episode, split their fan base due to big twists, even safer endings can still leave viewers divided. While everyone knew Friends would reunite Ross and Rachel in the series finale, this didn’t stop some viewers from wishing that the pair didn’t end up together.
Despite Rudd being as likable as a screen presence as ever, Mike effectively has no role in the last episode of the series. This is particularly noticeable because Phoebe is instrumental in reuniting Ross and Rachel, making her husband’s background status harder to ignore. Mike could reasonably have been off running any number of errands during the finale and didn’t need to be in the room with the central characters in the final scenes.
Phoebe's Friends Ending Needed Paul Rudd It made sense for Rudd to appear in the Friends finale since the actor was a rising star at the time, but the real reason the episode needed him had little to do with the character of Mike. Rather, Mike’s presence reaffirmed that Phoebe got her well-earned happy ending, which justified his awkward role in the finale’s closing scenes.
