It was reported earlier this month that Tavia Yeung (楊怡) may not renew her TVB contract when it is due to expire this April, leading to speculation that she is leaving the “mother station”. But the Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles <名媛望族> actress said the news was misconstrued, stressing that she never said she was leaving TVB for sure. “We are still in negotiations,” said Tavia. “ never said I would not renew my contract.” Tavia disclosed that the core of their contract talks concern time and management. “I want my job to be more relaxing so I would not always look as tired whenever I meet the public. We are talking and planning many things right now. Don’t worry.” Asking if the possibility of her renewing the contract is high, Tavia said, “I’ll let you know the good news when it happens.” What about money? “The more the happier of course, but I am hoping to improve the quality of my work. I want to try many different things and I hope [TVB] would be able to help me fight for better opportunities. Money really comes second.” The 2012 TV Queen also admitted that she would like to have more time to rest. “I’m getting old now! It’s very hard to shoot dramas back-to-back. Even if they’re both high quality productions, it would not be good for my health.” Asking if Tavia is tired of TVB casting her in the same roles over and over again, she said, “Not really. I played many different roles. But what I really want is to play a happy character. Maybe film a comedy.” Denies Marriage and Pregnancy Rumors The news of Tavia’s contract expiration led to rumors that she is preparing to settle down with boyfriend Him Law (羅仲謙) and start a family. Though Tavia said the rumor isn’t true, she did not deny the possibility, even hinting that it might come true in the near future. “If this happy occasion happens I’ll definitely let everyone know. Let’s hope that comes true. When the day comes I’ll definitely announce it,” she said with a smile. She also denied getting pregnant. “My body still looks great. There’s no reason for speculation.” Mentioning that fellow TVB actress Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) is rumored to be three months pregnant, Tavia said they texted each other over the Lunar New Year holidays, but she did not ask Linda about her private life in those texts. “I have to ask her about this! If it’s true then that’s great! I know Linda loves children, but I doubt [the rumor] is true.” Creds: Oncc
