Rumours Friends star will help struggling TV show
Jennifer Aniston is rumoured
to be starring in US soap opera Days Of Our Lives to help out her dad.
The struggling show is being
threatened with the axe due to poor viewing figures, meaning the actress’s 78-year-old father
John – who has been in the soap for 24 years – will lose his job.
Producers are begging Jen, 42, to
take a cameo role in order to give the ratings boost needed to save the
programme.
‘John is thrilled at the
prospect of working alongside his daughter for the first time,’ a source reveals.
‘He didn’t approach her,
though.
‘The show’s executive
producers did because John didn’t want to put Jen under pressure.’
While it’s thought Jen is
keen to go through with the plans, her busy schedule could cause problems.
‘We’re hoping Jen will join
us in November, when all the networks are at their most competitive,’ the
source tells the Sunday Express.
‘She has said she wants to
help but her schedule is so tight we may have to cram a lot of shooting into
just a few days.’
