Translated by: aZnangel @ http://************ Source: The Sun Esther Kwan blows off "Best Selling Secrets": She leaves the series Esther Kwan the female lead of TVB's sitcom "Best Selling Secrets" unexpectedly decided to quit! The entire crew also feels its very sudden and also rumored that she has another baby for her reason to quit. The 24/7 mother Esther Kwan has always worried about her daughter, always do everything first for her daughter, therefore she does not meet up with cast members very much. But, before CNY she suddenly wanted to have a dinner reunion with the BSS crew, afterwards, it was revealed that the script has changed and the character Wong Ka Lam will be taken out and leave for a long vacation. Everyone feels that the dinner reunion was actually the farewell dinner! The other cast members has often tried to test Esther and see what was the real reason why she took off, but she did not say anything, only that she is only taking a 2 month break. She admits that after her break is over, she would return to filming. Although the cast said that because she is pregnant so she decided to quit, however the truth is not that! Because Esther and Nick are both working at the same time, she is worried that no one will be able to take care of her daughter, also she hopes to have another baby, and so she decides to stop working. So, taking a long break is just an excuse, she will not be returning to the BSS crew! "Best"'s producer Mr. Lo (羅鎮岳) admits that Esther's parts will be finished first, before she leaves for a long vacation and other all parts related to Esther will finish broadcasting at the end of this month (March). He denies that its because she does not care and just leave, its because she needs to take care of her daughter. She has once suggested to proceed, but was not successful. Mr. Lo strongly emphaizes that the series will not be affected. He has confidence that it will maintain its quality, because there are many themes in the series and also added many different cast members such as Wong He and Suki Chui, etc. Nick Cheung: She wants to take care of daughter The media has tried to contact Esther Kwan, but she has not responded yet. Nick Cheung accepted the interview and denied that his wife is pregnant, she's not filming series because she wants to take care of her daughter and give her the most attention. She hopes to spend the time with her daughter as she grows up, but he admits that they do want to have another baby. Asked if he will film a series with TVB, he expresses that he will have a look at the scripts first before deciding. Cant believe Esther is leaving the show.No wonder these few episodes focused on her and Vincent alot.But now, how are they gonna turn the story around?Poor Vincent....Oh, welcome Wong He and Suki to the show...wonder what roles they will be playing....BSS is rumoured to end at 328 episodes.

=O how can best selling secrets air without Esther!!!! nuuuu! she's the main~ so, i guess there won't be 500 episodes anymore?? hmm..wonder what long half hr series they gonna have next ^^ i relli like bss =[
ye she is the main character thats why i suspect thats the reason the series is now reduced to 328 episodes. thats better though cos i ddin't rele want the series drag on to 500 episodes. but i wish they just stopped earlier and have a better ending rather than this happening. but i guess they might have filmed the ending with her and she just leaves for a vacation in the series. so it will still be ok i guess. we will just have to wait and see.
it sucks to hear esther leaving!!!! and i agree with TIEN317 ... no wonder the past few episodes focus on her a lot more!! usually it kinda drags their relationship!!! but i hope she will come back to do more TVB series!!!
hmm im sure she will but she prob won't do long series like this one. i guess at the start she was fine with it cos it was only gonna be 120 episodes but then it got extended and then extended again and i guess she didn't want it dragging on for so long and she prob didn't expect to be working for such a long time.
she might make perhaps a few appearances towards the end of the show perhaps thats if we are lucky or they may have just recorded the last few episodes with her in it now.
ye i know its unexpected, i guess she will leave sometime next month as they film like 1 month in advance i reckon and if she's leaving at the end of this month it will mean that she will prob leave next month.
they said her part will finish in mid March... so i guess it's either next week or the week after -cry2 the first time i heard a show's gonna keep running without the main character...
Sigh....gona miss Esther >< She's such a great actress and everyone was so hyped to see her back again. Now she's going again.. >< I wonder how they're going to wrap up the storyline now.... There's like a freaking HUGE chunk left out now ==""
well its been shortened and i guess they have to show the endings to all the other characters too, not just wong ka lam.
Aww man, she's the lead, how can a series survive without a female lead? Hope we can still see her in other shows.
