Damian Lau, Kathy Chow, Angela Tong, Toby Leung and Dominic Lam attended the blessing ceremony for the new TVB series (General Chai And Lady Balsam ). Toby Leung was constantly calling Angela Tong (mother). In the series Angela will play Toby’s step mother but she personally rejected being called that. She laughed "Toby and myself have previously been in the series (Marriage of Inconvenience) fighting over Bobby Au Yeung. Now she suddenly becomes my daughter. In the series I will start of being a prostitute and I think that is better than portraying a mother. But in the end I married Dominic Lam and became Toby’s step mother.

Kathy said she had filmed the new series for over a month now. She was very happy working with the other actors, especially Damian Lau. The atmosphere is very fun. She also said she didn’t have many outdoor scenes and most scenes were filmed in the studio. That's why the filming conditions were very comfortable. The series will finish filming around November. After that she will return to Mainland.

When the reporter mentioned Gigi Lai announcing she was leaving the entertainment circle, Kathy asked the reporter why. She also appeared quite shocked. Kathy was asked if she had thought of leaving too? She said "I currently don't have those thoughts. Currently I enjoy filming drama's and going to different places. Even when I get married I will not retire from the industry. Mostly I would reduce my workload and choose work I personally enjoy doing. (Your boyfriend supports you working?) "He really supports me but does tell me not to work too hard". She also said originally when she finished filming (The Academy III) she was to return to Mainland China. But the Producer of the new series went to find her. She also felt the character Lady Balsam was a very good role and she was most fond of early Nationalist period drama's. That is the reason why she decided to continue to stay in Hong Kong.

Damian Lau Taunts Housewife Idy Chan

Yesterday Joe Ma and Fala Chen were at Olympian City to promote TVB series “Catch Me Now”. Damian Lau and Idy Chan are not in Hong Kong but they phoned-in to support the promotional event. A magazine reports that Damian is unhappy about Idy staying away so he is boycotting the promotional work too. It turns out they are continuing their beef publicly and via phone-in. Damian was asked about Idy’s performance in the series. He responded: “Very good. She is exactly like a housewife if she needs to be a housewife. It is very believable.” Idy points out her friends praised Damian for being handsome and young. She hopes that he can preserve his looks. It is obvious there are “bones” in their words.

Joe expressed that there are three endings for “Catch Me Now”. Damian will either dies, lives or turns into a vegetative state in each of those endings. Joe said: “I believe the ending in which Damian dies is the best. The audience will remember it more.” Fala is busy filming “HOG 2” lately. The “HOG 2” casts are taking turns getting sick. A body double is used for filming parts of Fala’s scenes. Afterwards, Fala’s head will be cut and pasted in. She said: “The only good thing is that we don’t need to shut down the set to sanitize it.”
