Highly promoted TVB artists, Edwin Siu (蕭正楠), Mandy Wong (黃智雯), and Priscilla Wong, team up in new police comedy, Housewife Madam <師奶MADAM>. Edwin and Priscilla portray undercover cops who have to infiltrate a housewife clique in order to crack a case. Produced by Lee Yim Fong (李艷芳), the 20-episode series also stars Raymond Cho (曹永廉), Jacqueline Wong (黃心穎), and Anderson Junior (安德尊). At today’s costume fitting, reporters swarmed around Edwin asking him about rumors regarding a married, bisexual Chinese businessman paying for the services of four Hong Kong actors. The names of the involved men were kept anonymous, but one of the Hong Kong actors was described as a well-mannered artist who had floated in the industry for over a decade. Edwin laughed at the rumors and said he has never heard of the rumors. Without wanting to be implicated further, Edwin said he was never asked for his “service fees”. He said, “Whether it is men or women being ‘taken care of’, I cannot accept such an arrangement. I’ll rather starve!” Edwin then diverted the press’ attention with a humorous story about one of his “wild experiences”. When he had served as a fashion catwalk model, he was asked to go on stage without any underpants. Since the pants were loose, Edwin ignored the instructions and wore a pair of thongs, which he hated. “It was very tight; after wearing it one time, I swore that I will never wear a t-back again.” Priscilla was teased about her curly wig, which aged her looks. Her image was designed to reflect her role as an undercover cop posing as a housewife in a small village. Both Edwin and Raymond teased that Priscilla looked much older in her costume design than even Susan Tse (謝雪心), who portrays her mother in the series. Creds: Oriental Daily
