Answer: David

David Healy is the younger brother of Mark who married Becky. His first appearance was in season four when he was originally named Kevin. He became a regular in season five, even moving in with the Connors when Roseanne realises that he is being abused at home.

5. In "Friends", Phoebe is a surrogate for her brother and his wife's triplets and they allow her to name their youngest daughter. What name does she choose?

Answer: Chandler

The actress that plays Phoebe, Lisa Kudrow, was pregnant with her son in season four so the writers wrote her a pregnancy into the show. The triplets were conceived via IVF with Phoebe agreeing to be a surrogate for her half-brother Frank Jr and his wife Alice.

They were believed to be two boys and a girl. Frank Jr named one Frank Jr Jr and Alice named the girl Leslie. The couple then told Phoebe she could name the other boy and she picked Chandler. As it turned out it ended up being one boy and two girls but Phoebe decided that she would keep the name anyway.

Answer: Parker

The series is based on the ten book 'Roswell High' series by Melinda Metz. It follows the lives of alien-human hybrids and their friends in Roswell, New Mexico. The show gained a cult following and is known for its mix of science fiction, drama and romance.

Liz Parker is the main human character of the show, appearing in the pilot all the way to the finale three seasons later. In the beginning of the series she breaks up with her boyfriend and begins a relationship with Max Evans, one of the hybrids. (All the wrong answers are hybrid surnames).

The show commenced in 1999 and ran for three years. In 2019 a new adaptation of the series commenced named "Roswell, New Mexico" which also had a three year run.

She is smart and ambitious and works in several administrative positions culminating as Chief of Staff. Her strict adherence to rules means she is not the most popular staff member and has been known to sacrifice other doctors to meet her ambitions.

Susan Lewis appeared as a resident in the pilot through to season three and then returned later in series eight as an attending. Cleo Finch was a paediatrician from seasons six to eight and medical student Lucy Knight began in season five till her death the next year.
