Here a few facts that i know:

-Michelle Yip was offered the role of Sonija Kwok in LWOLAP, but she rejected it because her schedule was too full.

-Annie Man was offered Leila Tong's role in Square Pegs, but she rejected it because she wanted to get out of the cute girl image.

-Both Anne Heung and Maggie Cheung auditioned for Anne Heung's role in Riches and Stitches. But in the end Anne got the role.

-Maggie Cheung had the lead role in Au Revoir Shanghai, but because she was ill, her role was given to Anne Heung.

-During the filming of A Recipe of the Heart, Jessica Hsuan and Maggie Cheung had many arguements, and Bobby Au Yeung and Louis Koo would team up with Jessica to go against Maggie.

-Frankie Lam stopped filming VOH2 because his father was ill, and wanted him and Kenix to get married. Since Bernice's role mostly revolved around Frankie's character, her character left aswell.

-Hawick Lau had the role of Sam Chan in HH3, but because he was busy in Mainland China, he gave up his role to Sam Chan.

Please comment and post some interesting facts about tvb that you know.

Some of it AM already mentioned but here's some of the series Maggie Cheung turned down:

Yoyo's part in Healing Hands 2
turned down Gigi's role in HH3
Turned down Maggie Siu's part in ATE
Charmaine's part in Country Spirit
Flora's part in Taste of Love
Anne's part in Riches and Stitches
Charmaine's part in LWOLAP

anyways i can't see her playing Charmaine's role in LWOLAP.

Hi kawaiikiwi!! Thanks for your contribution of intersting facts. There was a lot of the Maggie Cheung stuff that i didn't know, and i didn;t know that Hawick was Lau Dan's son either.

Just then, i was on wikipedia and was on Gigi Lai's profile. It said that Gigi has a aunt who is an actress aswell and her name is "S. Lai". Is that Suet Lai (Raymond Lam's mother is A Step Into The Past)??? Does anyone know?

Other facts that i have heard:
-Louisa So replaced Maggie Siu in Bar Bender.
-Adam Cheng has an agreement with TVB that every series that he is in, he will sing the themesong, unless he decides not to (credits to tvb-generation).

Hey there, AM-092

Thanks for posting up some more interesting facts, but i don't remember who was Raymond's mother in ASITP. i tried looking her up, but couldn't find any pics.

I also read the Adam Cheng thing on Tvbgeneration too,

I'm not sure if many poeple know this but:

kevin Cheng and Vinci Wong are cousins, and Anne Heung is Vinci's aunt. All kind of related there =)

AM_092 · TVB Guru

Wow, so any relations between actors and actresses in tvb. Thanks for sharing!!

AM_092 · TVB Guru

Another interesting fact:

Did you know that Sonija Kwok starred in the U.S's Power Rangers: Wild Force as Toxica (the villain).

I don't watch PR, but i think it's kinda interesting that she was in there.

AM_092 · TVB Guru

I've found an interesting fact:
Leila Tong's real name in Pauline Kong.

I believe her aunt is Lai Suen.

Oh, about Power Rangers, I remember there was a contestant from Miss Hong Kong, who starred in one of the Power Rangers series. I believe her name is Cindy Wong Sin and she was a villian in the series. I think a few MHKs or MCIs stars in Power Rangers, but usually as a villian.

Thanks for the facts, YingYing!!
I already knew about John/Paul's relation from wiki.
Was Ada and Nicky just dating? Because I thought they were married??
I also knew about Gigi and Frankie...
