Helllll noo. In fact, the writers had originally put the main storyline as Ross and Rachel. So in the beginning, she was a fragile or vital character. (But as the show went on, the other characters grew in, and the main storyline was with everyone.) And without Rachel being there, the cast wouldn't be complete. Because in this kind of group, you need particular stereotypes. You need a Ross, playing out as a geek, you need a Monica, playing out as a controlling leader (seeing as they would always be in HER apartment), you need a Chandler, the funny guy, pulling a joke every minute, you need a Phoebe, the weird kind of crazy one, a Joey, the nice and stupid one, and a Rachel who's the popular cheerleader, ditsy one. All these stereotypes always exist somewhere, and despite her bad habits, she has good ones, and are vital to the show. Without any of them, can you honestly say that the show would've been as successful? I don't think so. All the stereotypes manifesting to the show, making it highly entertaining to watch. Rachel, being the ditsy, spoiled rich girl stereotype that she is, is important, and friends wouldn't have been better if she never came. It could still be good, because you still have all the other characters, but not as good as it is now.
