Kevin laughed and said "After knocking off from work, I push and knock onto the door and am puzzled that this happens. At that moment, I am unaware of bleeding and others will tell me to go to hospital if they see it. Fortunately, the wound is not deep and does not require stitches." When asked if he was too tired after filming, Kevin said "Nope, the company is already considerate."

When the reporters asked if he was worried about disfigured, Kevin laughed and said "I am not going towards to become a hunk direction. Moreover, I am already disfigured and had 5 stitches when playing ball earlier, and had 10 stitches during the filming of Yip Man. This time, it is considered unlucky only."

Kevin then estimated he will resume filming after resting for 2 to 3 days and said "The injury is a small matter and unable to hide due to the prominent area. I can only start working when the make-up is able to cover the area."

Kevin Cheng, Ruco Chan, Tavia Yeung and Samantha Ko attended TVB upcoming crime thriller "Eye in the Sky" costume fitting yesterday. In the series, Kevin and Ruco portray brothers, in which Kevin is a policeman while Ruco is the ultimate villain. Tavia portrays a private investigator, who later becomes romantically linked to both men. Kevin revealed he will share intimate scenes with Tavia, but there will only be one kissing scene. However, the scene will replay several times throughout the series. When asked if Kevin should request permission beforehand from Tavia’s compatible onscreen partner, Kenneth Ma, he laughed and exclaimed, “Why should I need to ask him? Shouldn’t I be asking Him Law instead?”

With the chance to share romantic ties to both Kevin and Ruco, Tavia feels very lucky. Earlier, Ruco also remarked he needs to ask Kenneth for permission before filming a kissing scene with Tavia. Like Kevin, she wanted to know, “Why is there a need to ask him?” Instead, Tavia looks forward to sharing a kissing scene with Samantha Ko, since it is a new experience. The kiss will take place when the two girls pretend to be lesbians in front of Tavia’s father to avoid him from introducing her to different men. Tavia is looking forward to kissing Samantha as this would be her first time kissing a girl.

Speaking of Mother’s Day on May 11, Tavia will take her mother out for tea and give her flowers. Asked if she has plans to celebrate with Him Law’s mother, Tavia revealed she would send a text message and ask her out to eat if there is time. Asked if the two families will dine together, Tavia expressed, “We’re not like that, and we’re not too familiar. I never bring my mother along even if I dine out with friends!”

On the other hand, Ruco’s TVB management contract is coming to an end, and he reportedly voiced big demands for a salary increase. Ruco expressed, “What’s considered big, and what’s considered small? TVB has its own system, and it’s fine as long as I’m happy.” Ruco added that the reports were false, and his contract renewal is not a big issue because he will remain at the company to film. “It’s not even time to discuss the matter yet, so I don’t need to be rushed into thinking about the conditions. Actually, every artist hopes for a double win. TVB is a large platform, and hopefully it can extend to other places.”

Asked if she'll miss her son when that time comes? Aimee laughed: "Sure because baby is growing everyday, but I also really miss filming. When I was watching the series, all the feelings came back.

Samantha Ko disclosed she caught the My Love from the Star 'poison', her highest record was watching the drama 3 nights straight without sleeping.

Kim's acting is also really good, I can learn from him. (Did your mother hurry you to get married during the Lunar New Year holiday?) She's been rushing me to save up more money so I can buy a home. If the housing prices drop this year, there is a high possibility I can get one."

It was reported she extended her TVB contract for another 8 years since she had no hope for the TV Queen this year? Linda explained: "I didn't sign another contract. In the past 4 years, it had been reported that I extended my contract for another 8 years. So, does that mean my contract now is 32 years long? There is less than 5 years left in my TVB contract, but that is enough time for me to improve and get the TV Queen title." Lately, Linda's fans had been scolding her TV Queen opponent Tavia Yeung on Weibo? Linda expressed: "I don't believe that. My fans are all very well behaved. If they really did do that, I will talk to them." 

Linda and rumored boyfriend Ruco Chan play a couple once again in this new series. She expressed because of Brother's Keeper, she's more familiar with Ruco now and they work very well together. Ruco was also very willing to be Linda's driver. He joked: "I'm just afraid she dares not to ride with me." Linda joked back: "I don't have the courage to, I have doubts on his driving skills." 

When speaking of the TVB Anniversary ratings, averaging at 29 points and peaked at 31 points, Linda was most pleased with TVB's HK$3.1 million donations to charity. Asked whether Linda thought Nat Chan's comments affected the ratings? She said: "I hope everyone doesn't keep scolding TVB for everything. I don't think Nat Chan caused an impact on the ratings. The noise can actually pull up the ratings. With current advanced technologies, many people are watching on MyTV." Ruco expressed he's not satisfied with the rating: "I'm not satisfied with how much TVB donated, they should donate more!" The TVB anniversary rating for this year set a new record for lowest rating. Samantha expressed her support: "Its already good. We really put in a lot of effort into the performances. Actually Nat's comments helped TVB." Natalie Tong said: "The noise from the public probably affected the rating, but I hope everyone could be more rational. Don't put all your dissatisfaction on us. We tried our best to entertain everyone."

AfterBrother's Keeper Linda and Ruco were rumored, and now that their portraying a couple again in this series, they appeared awkward. Linda explained: "Ruco and I chatted in the makeup room. (Has he started pursuing you?) You all ask him! After all, I hope we'll have a great collaboration." 

All along, Linda Chung had claimed "work is my priority", but last night [Good News] spotted Linda with a 6-feet tall gentleman entering a factory building. Yesterday at the costume fititng of her new series, she was asked whether this 6-feet gentleman is her new love interest? Linda didn't want to disclose who that gentleman was. She exclaimed: "I'm so scared! I'm scared of a ghost!" Reporters gave the [Good News] headline to her, Linda laughed: "How is he 6 feet?" She explained that gentleman is costume designer, that day they were going into the building for costume tryout, but she did notice there were reporters following them. She hoped to have some privacy as she gets into the car, so she asked the costume designer to pick her up. 

Ruco expressed he does not feel awkward seeing Linda. Asked if he's worried he won't be able to pull himself out of character? He said: "This is different from Brother's Keeper, my role's background is very realistic, so don't need to get so into character. (Are you pursuing Linda?) Nope! We've been filming together for several months and we know very well there's no romantic feelings." This time, Ruco and Linda are a couple again, but will be involved in a love square with Raymond Wong and Natalie Tong. Because the plot is refreshing, Ruco is not afraid the audience might get bored of watching him and Linda as a couple again.

My role is a Chinese pharmacist, the most challenging part is remembering all the Chinese medicine names." 

It was reported TVB intends to promote Linda to become their new music label "Star Dreams" Big Sister, but the only condition is to stop all the rumors. Linda said: "I didn't hear about that rumor. Its definitely made up. I've worked with Herman Ho for so long, he treats everyone equally. I believe he'll bring this spirit to TVB."

Shirley said: "I'm not sure, but I'm not afraid of those scenes. If I'm afraid of everything, then there won't be anything to do. Also with the limitations on TV, nothing to worry about." 

Shirley disclosed her daughter doesn't have much hair, so she had a hairstylist shave all her daughter's hair off in hope she'll grow new hair. Asked whether Shirley is worried she won't have time to spend with her daughter? She said: "My mother is helping out, I'm not worried at all. I will balance my time."
