Next year, TVB will have two new competitors, NOWTV and CTI. To prepare for the competition, Catherine Tsang (head of Drama Productions) has been inviting old colleagues back including producer Tsui Jing Hong. It was understood, Producer Tsui will be inviting Wayne Lai and Moses Chan to star in a new series about lawyers and also old partners, Dayo Wong and Carol Cheng (Dodo). It has been 13 years since this 'diamond pair' collaborated.

In 2000, Dayo and Dodo collaborated in popular sitcom War of Genders, setting off a high TV rating record of 49 points. Producer Tsui expressed every time he sees Dodo, he always tried to persaude her to make a comeback, he said: "Dodo didn't say she's declining, but she just said we'll see how it goes. The most important is a good role and script. Although this is a challenge, I hope it succeeds." He also expressed he has contacted Dayo, but he is currently busy working on his stand-up comedy, so his role hasn't been created yet.

Besides Dayo Wong, recently TVB has been actively getting the veterans back. Francis Ng and Chilam Cheung are already back for TITSII; Lawrence Ng is back for THCII; Bobby Au Yeung and Esther Kwan will reunite again; Eddie Cheung, Kathy Chow and Michael Tse will be starting a law enforcement drama in December. Eddie was asked if he's returning to TVB because the company needs his rescue? He said: "Don't say that. TVB doesn't need anybody to rescue them. (New feeling?) No, just remembering the old times. CTI had also contacted me, but I'm returning TVB a favor. This will be my third time collaborating with Kathy." Also, Michael will be playing a villain in the new series, Eddie hopes to create new sparks with him: "His 'Laughing Gor' role was so popular, why wouldn't it be ok? He has confidence."
