But watching him move to Tulsa while the rest of the gang stayed in New York felt unnecessary.

Having an exotic animal as a pet in New York City felt extreme, even for Ross.

Its a storyline that left fans scratching their heads - does owning a monkey really fit with Rosss character?

Marcels presence continued into Season 2 when Ross made several attempts to reunite with his former pet.
