JENNIFER ANISTON - ANISTON'S DAD TO BE KILLED OFF?

FRIENDS star JENNIFER ANISTON may have to step in to save her dad's life - his daytime soap character is set for a speedy demise.

JOHN ANISTON is a regular on the American show DAYS OF OUR LIVES, but he has just discovered that his character VIKTOR KIRIAKIS is to suffer a heart attack - and no one is talking about a recovery.

The 69-year-old actor was brought back into the show in 1999 after his daughter begged Days fans to petition for his return, but now Aniston fears his character is going to be killed off to help boost ratings.

A source for the show says, "With all the gossip of an upcoming bloodbath on Days, he's sure his character is doomed.

"Producers are desperate to boost the ratings, so they've brought back a former writer to create more interesting story lines.

"John and the older stars are worried because Days needs younger viewers."
