15 Of The Most Shocking TV Cliffhangers of All Time

Friends - Season 4: Ross Says Rachel’s Name

Sure, Friends isn’t exactly a show full of big thrills and shocking twists, but they still always delivered huge season finales with memorable endings. The end of the fourth season delivered the most notable cliffhanger, though almost every season of Friends finished with a big twist, like when the audience discovered that Rachel was pregnant at Monica and Chandler’s wedding, and when Ross walked in on Joey proposing to Rachel. In season four, the whole gang is in London for Ross’ wedding to Emily. After Rachel shows up at the last minute before the ceremony, Ross has a massive Freudian slip while standing at the altar. Instead of saying Emily’s name when it comes time to say ‘I do,’ Ross declares,“I Ross, take thee, Rachel…” We’re left on the registrar asking Emily whether or not he should continue with the ceremony.
