A atriz, que conquistou quase £15 milhões em três filmes lançados só este ano, não vai mesmo ser a estrela do cinema. Em vez disso, ela vai se juntar ao elenco da novela 'Days of Our Lives', por alguns episódios em um esforço para guardar a vaga de seu pai. O ator veterano John Aniston, que fez 78 anos no mês passado, representa na novela há 24 anos um gangster grego chamado Victor Kiriakis e apareceu em 1.199 episódios. Agora, no entanto, os donos da NBC, dizem que pretendem acabar com a série, por causa da audiência desastrosa. Todas as nove principais estrelas, incluindo o pai de Jen, tem pedido em vão pela suspensão da novela e mais de um milhão de espectadores, assinaram petições exigindo que permanece no ar. Apesar de seus esforços, os donos do programa insistem que a única coisa que pode salvar o show é um impulso na audiência; e isso é o que os produtores acreditam que Jen pode fazer. No roteiro, já escrito, a antiga estrela de Friends, irá fazer uma 'planejadora' de casamentos que ajuda o personagem de seu pai a se casar com a colega Maggie Norton, interpretada por Suzanne Rogers. Uma fonte disse: "Nós estamos esperando que Jen se junte a nós em Novembro, que é quando todas as emissoras de televisão estão mais competitivas”. "Ela já disse que quer ajudar, mas sua agenda é tão apertada que pode ter que gravar vários episódios em apenas alguns dias”. A fonte disse: "John está entusiasmado com a chance de trabalhar ao lado de sua filha pela primeira vez. No entanto, ele não vai se aproximar dela. Os produtores do programa fizeram isso, porque John não queria colocar Jen sob pressão. "Agora a única preocupação para eles, é quando exatamente ela vai conseguir se juntar ao elenco e quantos episódios poderão gravar. É um pesadelo logístico. Ela é tão cotada que sua agenda está quase sempre lotada". O porta-voz de Jennifer se recusou a comentar sobre seus planos, mas um amigo próximo da atriz disse: "Ela quer fazer isso e está feliz de receber um salário mínimo diário aprovado pelo Screen Actors’ Guild”. "A idéia de um papel semi-cômico junto com seu pai é muito atraente para Jennifer". (Tradução: JA1)

The A-list actress, who has banked almost £15million from three films this year alone will not even be the star of the show. Instead, she will join the cast of long-running serial Days of Our Lives for several episodes in an effort to save her father’s job. Veteran actor John Aniston, who was 78 last month, has played Greek mobster Victor Kiriakis on the show for 24 years, appearing in 1,199 episodes. Now, however, NBC bosses say they intend to axe the soap at the end of its current series because of disastrous ratings. All nine main stars, including Jen’s father, have pleaded in vain for a stay of execution and more than a million viewers have signed petitions demanding it remains on air. Despite their efforts, programme chiefs insist the only thing that can save the show is a huge ratings boost and that is what producers believe Jen, 42, can deliver. In one plot already scripted, the former Friends star will play a “frazzled” wedding planner who helps her father’s character marry fellow show stalwart Maggie Norton, played by Suzanne Rogers. A source said yesterday: “We’re hoping Jen will join us in November, when all the networks are at their most competitive. “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.” The source said: “John is thrilled at the prospect of working alongside his daughter for the first time. He didn’t approach her, though. The show’s executive producers did because John didn’t want to put Jen under pressure. “Now the only worry for them is exactly when she will be able to join the cast and how many episodes they can squeeze out of her. It’s a logistical nightmare. She is so in demand that her diary is almost always full.” Jennifer’s spokesman refused to comment on the plans but a close friend of the actress said: “She wants to do it and she’s happy to take the bare minimum Screen Actors’ Guild day rate. “The idea of a semi-comedic role opposite her dad is hugely appealing to Jennifer.” (Source: Express)
