It’s been more than 14 years since the finale aired.

Over the last few years, Friends fans have been calling out for a reunion.

With every other show jumping on the reunion bandwagon, it seemed only right that one of the best shows of the ’90s and ’00s would come back too.

Some of our favourite characters have spoken out about the possibility – and now Friends co-creator David Crane has, too.

It’s not good news, though, as he says a reunion of the beloved sitcom is “never happening”.

Crane, who developed the series alongside Marta Kauffman, gave the pretty solid reason during an Emmy panel in Los Angeles this week.

According to Mashable, he ruled out the possibility because everyone got their happily ever after.

He said:

“[The reunion is] never happening. Never. We did it! It’s done. That’s why you don’t want to see more of it, because it’s all a happy ending.”

And he was quick to add that Chandler, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Ross and Rachel didn’t just get a happy ending within the series.

In fact, both Monica and Chandler and Ross and Rachel are still together.

When asked if Ross and Rachel made their on-again-off-again relationship  last after she got off the plane, he said:

“Yes [they’re still together], come on. They worked really hard, 10 years.”
