    The guilty parties have said sorry, their other halves want to move on, but some are still feeling the effects of the Andy Hui-Jacqueline Wong cheating scandal.

    Hong Kong's TVB has confirmed that it would reshoot parts of police procedural drama Forensic Heroes IV to remove scenes with Jacqueline.

    The TV serial is one of the broadcaster's major productions to mark its 52nd anniversary this year, and is scheduled to be released both in Hong Kong and mainland China in November.

    As Jacqueline is one of the leads in the show, about one-third of it would have to be refilmed after shooting was completed in March. Reports said the show might otherwise not be approved by the Chinese authorities, for featuring an actress caught in a cheating scandal.

    Jacqueline has reportedly gone to the United States to avoid the harsh glare of public scrutiny in Hong Kong.

    Ming Pao Daily News quoted Forensic Heroes IV's producer Mui Siu Ching as saying that reshooting parts of the show would lead to losses of HK$10 million, but she added that the move is fully supported by TVB.

    Ms Mui said the reshoot would begin in June and would involve at least 50 scenes. She said her team is currently preparing for the reshoot by changing the script and negotiating with the actors involved.

    She said the reshoot involves rebuilding the set and even looking for new locations as, for example, a cafe featured in the original shoot has since shut down.

    The crew also has to apply for road closures in Taiwan for the reshoot and to find a suitable actor to replace Wong.

    There were previous reports that lead actor Raymond Wong was furious about having to reshoot parts of the show, but Ms Mui said: "Raymond is the first to express full support, and he and other actors have no grumbles about the reshoot."

    Lead actress Selena Lee, who left TVB in April after her contract expired, has agreed to return for the reshoot. Other actors such as Sharon Luk said she was glad to work again with the other actors of the show.

    TVB has also canned several TV shows involving Jacqueline Wong, including The Offliners, The Maid Alliance and Finding Her Voice.

    With Forensic Heroes being one of the promoted drama for this year, they had to reshoot. So I agree with you, her making TVB lose millions of money due to a reshoot, she'll be blacklisted for a long time.

    Sucks for all the actors and actress involved for the reshoots, as well as the dramas that are "canned". Of course all the behind the camera staff and crew. She single handedly fucked a lot of people

    I wonder if the reshoot is considered as pay wage or not.

    Not just her TVB career is over. She will find it extremely hard to get another acting job anywhere in Asia (HK, China, Malaysia).
    All her endorsement deals are gone/withdrawn.

    Geez, granted they cheated but at the same time, it's not like folks in mainland don't cheat...but yeah I guess her career is gone...wonder what she'll do next. Does she have anything to fall back on? Although haven't been keeping up with this is Andy and Sammi still together? So sad for Kenneth too :(

    Andy and Sammi are still together I think but she’s busy rehearsing for her upcoming concert so she’s keeping herself busy with work, same with Kenneth as well.
