Last year Linda gained heavy support and recognition based on her role 'Miss Koo' in Yes Sir, Sorry Sir. Her extreme cool image left a deep impression on audience. In one scene where Linda cries severely after she found out Moses Chan's character cheated her love, got very positive feedback and Linda's acting was praised by audience. TVB also made a Miss Koo spinoff Witness Insecurity, which had also been well-received.
It was understood, Linda had always had a pure and innocent image, but this year she made a breakthrough in House of Harmony and Vengeance. She played a villain and had several sexy appearances. Also, Linda had always avoided talking about her rumored boyfriend Philip Ng, but recently she started making the relationship known and implied she and Philip met the parents already. She also praised her 'boyfriend' having "an amazing and good looking outer appearance, and is actually very attentive." Aside from House of Harmony and Vengeance, Linda also had L'Escargot, Daddy Good Deeds, Witness Insecurity and she just completed new series Ferris Wheel Happiness. She has 5 series on hand creating strong momentum to get the TV Queen title this year.
Tavia at an Advantage with a TVB Anniversary Series
TVB has another well-behaved 'biological daughter', Tavia Yeung, whom they have heavily promoted, but unfortunately she never had fate to get TV Queen title. This year Tavia has 5 series as well. Aside from the earlier The Hippocratic Crush and Three Kingdoms RPG, she also has the unreleased Justice Pursuit & Attack, A Great Way to Care II and upcoming TVB anniversary series Silver Spoons, Sterling Shackles co-starring alongside veterans Damien Lau and Idy Chan. However, Tavia's latest series Three Kingdoms RPG was heavily criticized and she had little screen time, losing some momentum.
