"Stranger Anniversary" Cutting Five Episodes and Ending Early

CREDIT IF REPOSTED

The ratings of the TVB series "Stranger Anniversary", starring Joe Ma and Roxanne Tong, have been so-so since its broadcast. TVB has made new changes. TVB Jade will have a special new programme change arrangement on May 30th. "Stranger", originally airing Mondays to Fridays at 9:30pm, will be condensed into 20 episodes. After the finale on May 27th, the full 25 episodes will be arranged to broadcast on myTV SUPER. Contacting the lead Roxanne, she expressed, "I have not heard about it...really don't know about it. I have never asked about the post-production. After the completion of filming, promotions are our responsibility, but would have a normal attitude for other things and would not care too much". When asked if [she] would be catching the ending on myTV SUPER, she expressed, "Won't be for the time being. Have recently been working on 'Secret Door' every day. Have to catch up on that time when it was halted previously. Will catch up when the series is done around June". Contacting the producer Lam Chi Wah, he left the message on read and did not respond.

Joe expressed in a reply to on.cc: "Disappointed or not? Know the warmth or coolness of water after drinking it! As for the low ratings, there are always highs and lows in life; however, the series has not finished broadcasting yet...can't make a conclusion too early! I think that, for the company to have this arrangement, it must be a good arrangement because condensing it will make the plot tighter. Don't know if it will also be cut into a movie version later!"

It is understood that this change is TVB's move against ViuTV's "Inevitable", which airs on May 30th and stars Annie Liu and Sonija Kwok. It is said that the TVB series "Against Darkness" will broadcast one week in advance on May 30th; however, it is understood that TVB is urgently mobilizing other series to go into battle in order to prevent the series "Against" from facing a head-on confrontation.
