Jill Green is Rachel's younger sister. Jill comes to the apartment looking for Rachel (the only daughter their father is proud of) and attempts to start a new life, as Rachel did. Jill ends up breaking the rules (shopping to excess thanks to her having memorised her father's credit card numbers) and dates Ross to spite Rachel. However, Ross ended the relationship before it could really start after realising that, if something happened between him and Jill, nothing could ever happen between him and Rachel; even if he didn't know whether or not he and Rachel would ever get back together, he didn't want to know that it never could. This caused Jill to leave as she didn't want to stay around with someone who sabotaged her every move, bitingly asking Ross if he was gay- based on his rejection of her even after she threw herself at him- before departing.
Despite conflicts, Rachel appears to get along with Jill far better than she does with Amy. According to Amy, since her appearance in the show Jill has gained weight around her "butt and face", but this has not been confirmed.
Trivia
Edit
- Initially Jill was going to appear in a six-episode arc, but Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston did not get along on set; her abrupt departure most likely accounts for the unique nature of the two-part episode The One That Could Have Been, as the producers would have been required to write it at short notice to fill the now-existent gap.
- In another episode Rachel's other sister said she heard Jill got fat.
