'Come Home Love' Increases to 500 Episodes: Chris Lai is Marrying Girlfriend When Sitcom Ends

TVB sitcom Come Home Love has been doing pretty well in the ratings, even rated higher than the two prime time series Bullet Brain and Beauty At War. The night before, on the 1st anniversary since the sitcom's premiere, TVB decided to hold a reunion banquet to promote the sitcom. The 15-table banquet was held at the TVB City Cafe. 80 domestic and overseas fans were invited to join the reunion. An official announcement was made to the fans, 100 episodes were added to the sitcom, making it a total of 500 episodes! This means, the sitcom will continue to broadcast for approximately another year. Yesterday another promotional event was held at a shopping mall.

Yesterday the cast including Chris Lai, Eileen Yeow and Roxanne Tong attended the promotion. Eileen brought her son to celebrate Mother's Day as well. Her son very well behaved and photogenic. Chris exposed a 'good event' (marriage) is near for him. Once he finishes shooting Come Home Love, he will marry his girlfriend Nicole Lee, whom he had been dating for 2 years. Reporters said the sitcom just announced its adding another 100 episodes, so that means he will have to wait a whole year before marrying his girlfriend? Chris expressed he and his girlfriend have consensus and want to be fully prepared first, so he still has to work hard on earning more money. Chris's girlfriend Nicole Lee is actually a former Miss HK participant, the same year Kayi Cheung won the title. She is currently working at her family owned beauty business as a general manager. Nicole's family assets are at least HK$100 million since they own about 10 beauty salons in HK.

Joyce Cheng Wants a Role in Sitcom

As for Joyce Cheng, she attended the promotion and performed the theme song for the first time. She expressed she really wants to recommend herself to play a role in the sitcom and hopes the producer will add a new role, but hasn't thought of her storyline yet. Actually because she and Queen Chu are good friends, she hopes to play her cousin. Recently, Joyce has been busy rehearsing for her late mother Lydia Shum's commemorative concert. She disclosed she will have a breakthrough performance, but clearly stated that she will not imitate her mother's egg stepping performance as it is too dangerous. She expressed her father Adam Cheng cannot make it to the concert due to work, but she was not upset. She believes her father busy with work is a good thing. In this industry, if there is no work, then that is something to be worried about.

Roxanne Tong Does Not Dare to Admit She's a Lucky Star

Roxanne Tong just joined the cast not long ago, and immediately experiences the sitcom's excellent ratings and addition of episodes. She did not dare to admit that she's a lucky star, but instead she said everyone worked hard. It had nothing to do with her. She is very happy that the sitcom is so well-received and that more episodes were added. She expressed: "Before, people on the street would just remember me as a Miss HK, but now many people know me by my name in the sitcom. I'm quite pleased, but they still don't know my real name. I will need to work harder." She expressed her 15 month Miss HK concert is ending at the end of this year, but she plans to sign an artist management concert with TVB. Is she afraid of long concerts? She said: "No fear! Becoming an artist, I've prepared myself to take a long period of time to improve my acting. I hope for a 5-year concert."
