In a way, Constance Song is replacing herself in the new Channel 8 legal drama Sudden.

She was reported to be the one replacing MediaCorp actress Pan Ling Ling, who dropped out of her role as a lawyer due to health problems.

However, at a press event on Monday, Song said she was actually approached by the production team about two months ago. “They called me to ask me about this role, but I couldn’t commit at that point because I was constantly travelling for work,” she said.

This drama also stars Romeo Tan, Rui En, Rebecca Lim and Ian Fang.

He hasn’t been very active in the local showbiz scene for the past seven years.

So it took many by surprise when Malaysia-based Singaporean actor Aaron Aziz beat Channel 8’s biggest stars like Fann Wong, Jeanette Aw and Rui En for the title of Singapore’s Most Popular Actor at the inaugural Social Media Awards held at Marina Bay Sands last Friday.

But nobody was more stunned than Aaron himself.

He said: “How could I possibly win on the Singapore front since I haven’t been active in Singapore for quite a while?”

His score could be attributed to his solid online fanbase.

Report: Mervin Tay, Celine Chen

On screen, he was their father, teacher and husband. Off it, he was a father figure, mentor and friend.

With the death of a legend, last night’s Star Awards Show 1 had a somewhat sombre feel to it.

Rui En, who repeated the Favourite On-screen Couple award with Elvin Ng from last year, said she initially wanted to change out of her red Dior dress as a mark of respect for Huang.

Huang had played her father on Honour and Passion, and they played neighbours on his second last drama, Joys of Life (2012).

“But my stylist said it was too last-minute, so I added a blazer to improvise,” said the 32-year-old actress.

She said Huang always knew where to find good food, no matter where the location was.

Winning in red: Rui En took home prizes for favourite female character, as well as best on-screen couple with Elvin Ng.

Rui En said it was too last-minute for her to change out of her red Dior dress as a mark of respect for Huang Wenyong, so she improvised by putting on a blazer.

They are young, pretty and talented.

Julie Tan and Jayley Woo are going places with two local movies and several television dramas piled on their increasingly plates.

But now there is talk that these former New Paper New Face contestants, both 21, are rivals on their way up in the entertainment industry.

Like fellow MediaCorp stars Fann Wong and Zoe Tay or Rui En and Jeanette Aw, speculation abounds that these two fresh-faced actresses are “not friends, just colleagues”.

The former freelance actor now has a permanent acting contract with MediaCorp that sees him working on only one drama a year.

And C.L.I.F. 2 is what he considers having a “good script”. The 20-episode series, which premieres on Channel 8 on Feb 18 at 9pm, is inspired by true crime files and filmed with actual police resources.

Starring A-listers such as Li Nanxing, Rui En, Qi Yuwu and Joanne Peh, it revolves around a group of Criminal Investigation Department and neighbourhood police centre officers.

C.L.I.F 2 警徽天职 2 debuts 18 February 2013 9pm on Channel 8.
