The 44-year-old actress – who shot to fame playing Monica Geller in worldwide hit sitcom Friends, which ran from 1994 to 2004 – will reportedly star as the Chief of Medicine at the Sacred Heart Hospital in three episodes of the medical comedy.

Courteney’s character will “ruffle feathers” of the cast, including Zach Braff, according to Entertainment Weekly magazine.

The report comes just weeks after it was announced Courteney’s US drama show, on which she played tabloid magazine editor Lucy Spiller, has been cancelled after just two seasons.

The series, which followed the inner workings of trashy gossip magazine DirtNow, was scrapped following the US writer’s strike and poor ratings due to its risque content which proved unappealing to viewers.

Courteney can also soon be seen in comedy movie Bedtime Stories, in which she stars alongside Adam Sandler and Guy Pearce.
