Flora Chan Returns to TVB to Film New Series

By Jayne on July 22, 2009

A costume fitting for TVB’s new series, “Searching for Lasting Love” 《搜下留情》was held yesterday. The series will star Flora Chan Wai San, Joe Ma Tak Chung, and Sharon Chan Man Chi. After a 6 year hiatus, Flora will reunite with Joe Ma since their last cooperation in “Triumph in the Skies” 《衝上雲霄》.

Joe Ma and the Producer presented Flora with a bouquet of flowers and a TV Buddy doll to welcome her back to TVB. Flora indicated that her one-year-old daughter was well-behaved and clever. Earlier, Flora had to take care of her daughter on a 24 hour basis. Since her daughter is older now, Flora hopes she will be more independent. Flora decided to film for TVB due to her interest in acting, [as well as the belief that some separation from her daughter will be beneficial].

Flora’s character will deviate from her normal professional roles. In “Searching for Lasting Love,” Flora will play a reformed street-wise character. Regarding her filming fee, Flora laughed and said she did not know. Reporters should ask the Producer or her manager. Did Flora have any her expectations for her comeback series? Flora said she will not dwell on the matter, as many elements were beyond her control.

Did Flora intend to have more children? “I would like to. However, the earliest opportunity may be next year, since I will need some rest after filming this TVB series.”

Sharon Chan Followed Home by a Suspicious Man

Earlier, Sharon Chan and a male friend went out to dinner and was followed home by a suspicious man. The man entered the elevator with Sharon and continued pursuit. After entering her apartment, she looked through the peephole and saw that the man took numerous photos. Sharon called the building security and the man was escorted away. The man claimed to be a contractor and then left. Upon exiting the building, he entered a car filled with other men.

Sharon immediately called the police, “I was not afraid of robbery, but I was afraid of a sexual attack.” Scared by the incident, Sharon was even afraid to step outside to throw out her garbage for the evening.

Reading the newspaper the next day, Sharon realized that the man who followed her turned out to be a reporter. “After finding out the man was a member of the paparazzi, I was no longer as scared. But his method of following me was an invasion of privacy. I do not mind if the reporter took photos of the exterior of the building, but he followed me all the way to my apartment.”

Since Sharon alerted the police about the incident, if the same reporter were to follow her again, she can pursue legal action.

Sharon also clarified that the male friend who escorted her home the day before was not her boyfriend.

Jayne: Great to see Flora back at TVB again! Hmm…I didn’t feel that she shared that much chemistry opposite Joe Ma in “Triumph in the Skies” though…still feel that TVB could have paired Flora opposite a more interesting lead.
