TVB Celebrity News

TVB series Divas In Distress (巴不得媽媽) ended on Sunday with high ratings peaking at 36 points. Aside from the Koo Ming Wa gaining recognition from his role as 'So Gay', rising star Mandy Wong's role 'Kwai Yee Hei' and Eliza Sam 'Princess Heung Heung' has also been big hits. Netizens support Mandy for the Best Supporting Actress award this year. Since the "巴不得" franchise has been so well-received [previous one was A Chip off the Old Block (巴不得爸爸)], it was rumored TVB plans to produce a combination of the two series, No Wonder Father Mother (怪不得爸媽) in May 2013 with the same cast from both series. However, it was understood producer Poon Ka Tak will be working on The Hippocratic Crush II for 4 months next year, so the rumored series probably won't happen in May.

As Netizens are supporting Mandy to get the Best Supporting Actress award this year, she happily expressed: "I really want to get the 'Most Improved Award' too. I'm not greedy, but if I get nominated for Best Supporting, that is already good enough. I had 4 series this year and this had been the best role. There were a lot of scenes from the inner heart. (Who is the Best Supporting Actress in your heart?) The mute-deaf girl, Nancy Wu, in Gloves Come Off because the role is really hard to portray. Also, I have always admired her acting. There is also Aimee Chan from The Last Steep Ascent, she is pretty good as well. (Your strongest opponents?) Not like that, I'm taking it slowly."

Regarding Him Law, Mandy expressed their on-screen pairing has been very well-received in the public, she said: "More opportunities to earn extra income. There are companies inviting us for work, and there are also jobs with Oscar Leung." In regards to Him Law's earlier 'car incident' with Tavia Yeung, did she comfort him? She said: "I bumped into him in the studio before, he said not even one SMS from me, but friends are in the heart. Silence is already support, just one eye contact and pat on the shoulder is enough."

As for Chin Kar Lok, he joked the producer was brave to have casted him as the male lead. Besides praising Koo Ming Wa's outstanding acting skills, Kar Lok also thought Mimi Chu and King Sir's romance was touching.
