At the start of this year, Gigi Lai announced that she would stop work for a year. But she has suddenly returned this September to help promote her upcoming TVB series “Gem of Life”. TVB has also invited Gigi to be part of a new grand production series, in which she will pair up with Gallen Lo.
It appears that Gigi is still one of TVB’s favourites. TVB’s other fa dan Charmaine Sheh has recently been involved in negative rumours, her image has been ruined as many now see her as the “third party.” TVB executives are not pleased with Charmaine’s rumours, so Virginia Lok personally went to the trouble to invite Gigi back.
Although there are numerous fa dans in TVB, but the fight for the No.1 sister spot has always been between Gigi and Charmaine. It had started in 2005 when the two collaborated for “Dance of Passion”, where they competed for the female lead spot and who got to sing the themesong.
Originally, Gigi wanted to wait until next year before she returns to filming; but because “Gem of Life” is an upcoming grand production series and with Charmaine’s recent rumours, TVB wanted Gigi to come back earlier than expected. An insider source revealed: “Previously TVB had asked Gigi to attend the “Gem” promotions, but she always said she was too busy caring for her brother. Then Virginia personally took Gigi out to dinner to persuade Gigi to attend the promotions.”
Apparently the “Gem” promotions are only the start of Gigi’s comeback. TVB has invited Gigi to take part in a grand production series which will start filming in November, the cast consists of Gallen Lo. ( Kenix Kwok has also confirmed to be part of this series). Everything is still under discussions as Gigi has yet to consider whether to accept the offer. Gigi said “I’ve always wanted to get back to filming, but I will have to check my brother’s condition before I make a decision.”
