TVB held a costume fitting for its '07 situation comedy (i.e., sitcom) 《嫲辣甜孫》 (literally translated as "Spicy Grandmother, Sweet Grandchild"). The cast members present included Esther Kwan, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), Elvina Kong, Angela Tong, and foreign newbie Brian Thomas Burrell (Bo Wai Kit).Esther has stopped work for two years because of her daughter. Now that her daughter is a year old, she feels that she should get back into working because she does not want to lag behind with society. Esther explains, "When Catherine Tsang first called me, I immediately agreed [to film]. She gave me a good card because I can stay in HK to film. Also, since it is a sitcom, the schedule is stable, and it enables me to spend time with my daughter and work. The timing is perfect; if Catherine had called me earlier, I might have not taken the offer".
Elvina will be playing the boss of an advertisement company and will be required to wear a lot of brand name clothing. She will be bringing her own clothing to filming.
Angela will be playing a police officer, and she will be considering getting her hair cut short for the role. In the series, she will have a foreign husband, Brian Thomas Burrell, who not only speaks fluent Cantonese, but also knows how to read Chinese, and this puts Angela to shame. Despite working in HK for so long, she still cannot read Chinese. She laughs, "It's a good thing my husband knows Chinese. Then I can ask him".
Personal Note: Since filming doesn’t start until the end of the month, I wonder if Bobby is going to guest-star in a couple of episodes.... It would be great to see them on screen together again.
