Friends fans are still debating what they believe to be one of biggest 'mistakes' ever made during the entire show.
Jennifer Aniston's role as Rachel is still causing a bit of confusion because of the spelling of her name in the early episodes.
The One with the Invitation (S4, E21) first aired in 1998 and it shows an invitation to Ross' wedding to Emily with Rachel's name on it, and her last name is spelt as 'Greene'.
And five years on in The One Where Rachel Goes Back to Work (S9, E11), Rachel's last name is also spelt as 'Greene'.
However, in The One With The Cake (S10, E4), when the erotic cake was accidentally sent for Emma's birthday, it was addressed to 'Rachel Green'.

As reported by the Metro, one Reddit user complained: "They go backwards and forwards throughout the show on whether it’s Green or Greene. It could very well be Grean for all we know."
"Both spellings have been used, interestingly enough. I wonder if they just didn’t keep track of how they spelt it, or if they messed up somewhere and stuck with it, or if they actively decided at some point to change it?" another added.
Well, on the IMDb page, the character's name is spelt as 'Rachel Green' and when Warner Bros. released press material, it was reportedly spelt the same way.
This comes after Aniston had an emotional response when she was asked about Friends during Variety’s Actors on Actors series.

Abbott Elementary star Quinta Brunson mentioned the show to her, and Aniston replied with a shaky voice: "Oh God, Don’t make me cry.
“You’re already crying,” Brunson, 34, replied. “Do you want a minute? We don’t have to talk about [it.]”
“I’m sorry, I just started thinking about –,” Aniston responded, as she was seemingly referencing her on-screen friendship with Matthew Perry.
The late actor died from 'acute effects of ketamine', aged 54, after he was found 'unconscious in a stand-alone Jacuzzi' at his Los Angeles home on October 28, 2023.

Perry used the ketamine drug as treatment for depression and anxiety.
Police said that there had been a 'broad underground criminal network responsible for distributing large quantities of ketamine to Mr Perry and others'.
Following his death, Aniston shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, which read: “He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the six of us.
“This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard…”
“Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying ‘could you BE any crazier?’
