Looks like Hongkong actress Nancy Wu will definitely be appearing in more TVB dramas in the future, now that the 38-year-old has renewed her contract with the Hongkong broadcaster. First on her plate is the upcoming medical drama, Big White Duel 2, which she will star alongside her former flame, Kenneth Ma. Oh, and their characters will be caught in a love triangle with Natalie Tong aka Kenneth's long-time alleged girlfriend, though those rumours have since been proven to be just rumours since Kenneth is now dating Roxanne Tong.

Nancy’s last TVB drama, Justice Bao: The First Year, aired in 2018. At that time, reports had alleged that Nancy was looking to join Hongkong actor Louis Koo’s management agency once her contract with TVB was over ‘cos she wanted to focus on her movie career.

But an insider recently revealed that Nancy changed her mind due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the insider, Nancy was worried that the pandemic would have negative effects on the film industry. Additionally, Chinese producers are reportedly less keen on hiring Hongkong actors for their projects. Thus, Nancy decided to stay with TVB as it was the safer choice for her.

    In an interview, Nancy shared that she was excited to join the cast of Big White Duel 2, which includes Hongkong actors Roger Kwok and Moses Chan as well.

    She added that she was looking forward to playing a doctor, saying: “I rarely get to try such roles, so I feel that it’s pretty interesting, and I’m looking forward to it! In this year, everyone has been through a lot, and we’ve all gained a lot of medical knowledge. The script is not completed yet, and they’ll reveal more details later. I will make sure to do my homework, and watch more shows about medicine.

    When asked if she was worried about her character coming between fan favourites Kenneth and Natalie, Nancy replied: “I trust that the producers will arrange everything nicely, [I don’t think I will] destroy Kenneth and Natalie’s existing relationship!”

    She also added that she’s very happy for Kenneth, who recently went public with his relationship with Roxanne Tong, and that she’s looking forward to working with him again.

    No surprises there, considering the ex-couple ended their relationship on good terms and are following each other on Instagram.
