According to a report, Alice Chan will be starring as the female lead in the new series "Return", which is premiering this July. In the same series, there will also be 'TV King' Roger Kwok and a new generation of actors, Chow Ka Lok, Ricco Ng, Kayan Yau, et al.

This time, Producer Lam Chi Wah is shooting "Return", and has invited [Alice] to take part.

The new series "Return" is starring Alice and Roger, as well as the appearance of 'rookie kings' Chow Ka Lok, Ricco, Kayan, Joey Thye, Erica Chan, et al. The story takes place in 1997, the year of the return, when the married couple of Alice and Chinese-style chef Roger are working in a teahouse, but there is an unexpected occurrence in the two's relationship. Later, [they] divorce; Alice decides to go north to start a business and establish her own food and beverage kingdom, bringing Hong Kong's teahouse culture to Mainland China, while Roger chooses to stay in Hong Kong, and even takes over the teahouse where he used to work.

Chow Ka Lok and Ricco play the sons of Alice and Roger. Back then, after Alice and Roger divorced, Ricco followed Alice to the north, while Chow Ka Lok and Roger stayed in Hong Kong. Twenty-five years after 1997, mother and son Alice and Ricco return to Hong Kong. Later, Ricco, who is the CEO of a start-up company, holds a Greater Bay Area entrepreneurship competition in Hong Kong, and happens to encounter Chow Ka Lok, who goes to participate in the competition. From the beginning, the family story between the married couple and the two brothers that is centred around China and Hong Kong slowly unfolds.

Regarding Ricco's casting, [Lam Chi Wah] expressed that Ricco is extremely in line with the setup of the character: "The series still has many young people taking part. Mainly looked for him because he is suitable for the role. Because the character has returned from abroad, and he (Ricco) is handsome enough and studied in an international school, so he has a 'Western flavour'". In addition to Alice, Roger, Chow Ka Lok, Ricco, et al., the producer even revealed that Liza Wang will also be taking part, but he is keeping everyone guessing, saying, "Liza is also taking part. This role can only be done by her, but cannot say it now yet. You will know then".
