ReplyDeleteThe month will be May and the theme will be rock n' roll.
ReplyDeleteYes, this was the year that all the newbies got their recognition on the calendar. I'm still waiting for Louis to come back!
ReplyDeleteTo Tracy:
ReplyDeleteChances of Louis coming back to TVB is very slim right now, as he is filming movies non-stop. Plus, he had expressed that if he does return to film for TVB, he hopes for it to be a sci-fi series. :)
