In " The One Where They All Turn Thirty", Phoebe takes her pink hippity hop to Ursula to wish her a happy 30th birthday and patch things up with her. However, Ursula informs Phoebe that they are actually 31. In " The One With Phoebe's Cookies", Phoebe reveals that she is no longer speaking to Ursula after that incident. After telling her off for using her name, Phoebe paid her back by taking all her checks from the porno film company, as the checks were addressed to "Phoebe Buffay". She appeared in such films as "Buffay the Vampire Layer", "Sex Toy Story 2", "Lawrence of a Labia" (an actual adult film title), and "Inspect Her Gadget". In " The One Where Chandler Can't Cry", it was revealed that Ursula works in the pornography industry, using her sister's first name so she was credited as Phoebe Buffay. In " The One With Joey's Bag", Phoebe told Ursula their grandma had just died, but Ursula thought she died 5 years ago and had already made peace with it, so wouldn't go to her memorial service, plus Ursula had a concert to go to. In Ursula's word, her version "got the gist" of the original suicide note, which she had apparently lost in the interim. When Phoebe asked to see the note, she showed Phoebe one that she had hastily written up. She told Phoebe she had read their adoptive mother's suicide note which revealed the identity of their birth mother, Phoebe Abbott. It was revealed in " The One With The Jellyfish" that Ursula had always known the truth about her and Phoebe's parentage. In " The One With The Jam", Ursula's stalker Malcolm followed Phoebe by mistake. Phoebe pretended to be Ursula to break up with Joey gently, but was found out nonetheless. Ursula dumped Joey shortly after by not talking to him and avoiding meeting him. Ursula dated Joey in " The One With Two Parts". How the sisters came to be separated as minors was never revealed. Although Phoebe ended up homeless by her mid-teens, following the various deaths/abandonments/imprisonments of their parents, Ursula apparently did not. This drove a wedge between the sisters, and the estrangement continued into adulthood. Ursula often appeared cruel and hostile to twin Phoebe, who was still upset by the things Ursula did to her when they were young, for example, throwing her Judy Jetson thermos under a bus, accidentally breaking her collarbone and stealing her first boyfriend back in junior high. On the last episode of Mad About You, it was revealed that Ursula would become the Governor of New York in the future. ![]() Her character was more fully developed in Friends "as something of an antagonist or evil twin". In Mad About You, Ursula was a particularly inept waitress, often forgetting orders entirely. She was given a luxurious upbringing, while Phoebe was forced to fend for herself on the streets. Ever since she was a kid, Ursula has always been recognized as the better twin due to being seen as prettier and smarter than her sister. One of the main reasons Ursula has inspired so much hatred between the two of them is Phoebe's jealousy. Ursula ruins her sister's life in many ways, such as using her name when making porn or stealing a number of her boyfriends. On the rare occasions where Ursula does acknowledge Phoebe, she insults her and makes her feel insignificant, often nonchalantly. She often treats Phoebe as if she were a complete stranger, to the point where it's almost like Ursula forgets she even has a sister. This especially noticeable whenever she confronts her sister, Phoebe. Ursula only holds herself in high opinion, being very self-centered and self-absorbed, treating others as if they are beneath her. ![]() She is shown to be very selfish and insensitive when it comes to confrontation, and often disregards the consequences of her own actions. Ursula is also known for being an unpleasant individual. ![]() She is labeled as an antagonist in the series. Ursula is also shown to be very neglectful of her job, yet somehow still works there. However, this mostly stems from her apathetic attitude towards other people and their needs, and holds little to no value in anything besides her own well-being. Ursula is usually regarded for her incompetence when it comes to doing her job, due to being almost completely oblivious to what's happening around her. Ursula also broke many things of Phoebe's which is mentioned in " The One With Two Parts, Part 1". Ursula went into care while Phoebe ended up on the streets. Then Lily's husband went to prison, and Lily committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning. Later Frank abandoned Lily and the twins and Lily married another man. Lily adopted both twins and she and Frank raised them together. A scared Phoebe Abbott wasn't ready to be a mother, so she gave them to Lily after giving birth. Ursula and her twin sister Phoebe were the results of a sexual relationship between Phoebe Abbott, Frank Buffay and Lily Buffay.
