Hi guys, just for discussion
What do you think of the new crew that join in ... i.e. Kevin Cheng, Charmaine Sheh, Shirley etc ... and the original cast from FH having less screentime?

Yoyo - going to overseas for further studies
Linda - guest star for only 6 episodes (character dies)

Would you have liked someone else in their role?
Please share your view here

If I should be honest I prefer the new cast over the first one. I'm glad that linda will die in the serie and I'm more then happy to know that yoyo have less screne times

i don't really mind that linda dies because she has a great scene to portray....much different from before and that will leave imprints in the audience's minds....i'm neutral toward charmaine and kevin's roles in FH2...not too interested about them or their roles...
Loved bobby and yoyo's chemistry since i dont know when..hope it continues =D

i dont really mind about Linda dying either...
but i dont want Yoyo to have lesser scene..i really like her acting..i love it when she act as a cop..& she does it really well too..
im not sure how i feel towads the new characters since i havent seen FH2 yet..so yeah...
just gotta wait & see

I dont mind the new cast! They still retain the old cast except Linda as she will die in eps6)
I like to see Charmaine in this kind of role, so do I like to see Kevin in that kind of role too! Hahahaha.

I prefer the new cast over the first one too. Although I think Linda shouldn't die in this series because I wanted her to be with Frankie and Charmaine to be with Kevin. I didn't want Linda to die in this series. I think I read somewhere that Kevin and Charmaine aren't going to be paired up together. I am a little disappointed about that point, but I'm glad that the sequel has new casts in their.

I'm alright with Charmaine and Kevin taking on a new role in this series... but I really liked the chemistry between Yoyo and bobby in the first show... I would like to see them again here.. hopefully yoyo will still have a significant role..

Not too happy of the additional cast and even more unhappy when I found out the original female leads are either going to be killed off or lesser screentime. Sigh, whats the point of a sequel?

I'm sad that Linda is going to die too but at least she is in the first week! I'm okay about Kevin being here cause he is so hot but I hope his character will add more insight to the case and not just there to look good and the love triangle between Charmaine, him and Frankie. I don't like Charmaine but oh well, what's done is done and she does make a good couple with Kevin.

I WANT MORE YOYO THOUGH!

No, I don't like the addition of Charmaine and Kevin. Normally, I don't mind adding new people but not the expense of less screentime for the old cast. I hate that Linda's character died and Yoyo's screentime is reduced.

i usually hate sequels with new cast members... but i really like charm so i guess its an exception? though i still dont like the fact that they are gonna kill off linda ;/

i think the new cast seems pretty good. i bet this series is going to be a balst with them. the only sad thing is that linda is going to die in this series, but i think over all it is going to be great.

I dun like YoYo. When I first saw her in FH l I didn't like her character at all. I don't think shes pretty and I'm glad that shes not in this one. I don't think that her and Frankie matches at all. I think Charmaine would be a good addition to the cast. But we will see how it goes.

I prefer the new cast over the original cast because the new cast have hotter love triangle, Charmaine-Kevin-Frankie!!!

I like the addiction! If only TVB can keep the original cast! but of course, that would make the storyline more complicated and the story less focus on the cases.

Charmaine and Kevin, hot couple.

I agree with what people say don't like the new cast, old cast's screen time are getting cut cause of them. I understand Linda's role dying cause she had to film the 80 epi's series but you can pretty guarante(Sp?) that Yoyo's screentime will be cut. I personally think is because TVB want to promote Charmaine and also Kevin, as they won the Best actress and Best Actor. I was seriously looking forward to this series, cause the 1st one was really good, however I doubt I even will watch this properly now.

hmm...Charmaine and Kevin.. dont really like that pairing
so i HOPE, charmaine ends up with frankie ^__^
heal his broken heart, haha
I dont mind Linda's death, shes awesome and improved so much,
looking for her 6 episodes n___n

I like the original cast better. I'm REALLY upset Yoyo is going to have less screentime. She's like not even a main character ._. I want Bobby & Yoyo=[

Ok, although I am not a Linda fan, I don't think she deserves to be killed and ripped off from the cast. Why do they kill off casts in sequels? (Like Fiona in TA2) so uncalled for or have them migrate overseas like they did in SL2. This shouldn't even be a sequel if they can't get main casts back.

FH is not a big budget series. They didn't know it will be so popular. It was the original casts and producer's credit that this became such a huge success. The main and major supporting casts have so much credit in making the popularity of this series. But now, after their hard work to fame, they can't be in the sequel. Instead, they get new casts in to lap up the success they fought for in the original. It's unfair, especially how Yoyo really want to be in the sequel and tried to work her way around her schedule. TVB isn't giving her a chance and they never intended to. They are just interested in throwing Charmaine and Kevin in there to absorb some of that popularity stemming from original cast and rating guarantee Bobby.

I'd prefer Linda to stay permanent in this series. Ding ding is a memorable character, shouldn't kill her off that way.


However, aside from that. I'm actually OK with the new cast. Kevin's character and friendship with Frankie would add something extra to the show I think. Not really liking the fact that Charmaine's character will take up Yoyo's screentime though....

I really don't like how Yoyo's and most likely Frankie's screentime will be shorten because of the addition of TVB's favorites ahem Charmaine and Kevin. I'm fine with Charmaine's character so far since it seems really interesting. I agree it was the original cast that made the series popular yet for the sequel their roles gets deminished! I feel for Yoyo and Frankie and their position. They're doing the same thing with all sequels always changing the female leads and saying they died or went overseas.

i don't like the new cast.. even though im quite happy that linda will die.. (my own little prejudice against her too enthusiastic character i guess) but seriously.. linda's not that bad to the extend that she has to die.. of cuz.. for linda it's more of a schedule conflict so i think it's not that bad..

but i don't like it that yoyo gets lesser screentime.. she's my fav character in FH along with Bobby and it just sucks that she has lesser screentime.. i don't mind the frankie-charmaine-kevin thing i guess.. but i really don't like the fact that yoyo will have lesser screentime cuz of them..

and frankie's screentime will still be significantly higher than yoyo's.. since he IS the pathologist and also IS fighting for charmaine.. i totally hate the character changes cuz i think that the reason kevin and charmaine are introduced is cuz FH became popular.. and they only put their hottest stars in something that is guaranteed to have high ratings.. it's like getting someone not as popular to pave the way.. and once the way is paved.. dump them.. anyway.. the only thing that would make me watch FH is Bobby.. And depending on Yoyo/Frankie's screentime..

Like someone mentioned before...conflicts in schedules often lead to characters getting killed off and to introduce or input new characters. Depending on how the story progress, I for one will probably enjoy the new casting over the old...but the casting mostly remains the same...no big changes.

I'm really sad that Linda has to die in the series, but since there's schedule conflict, then it's really inevitable. But making Yoyo have less screen time? What is TVB thinking? I feel so bad for her, she realled wanted to film the sequel. TVB just wants to stick Charmaine and Kevin in there like every other TVB series out there.

I don't like how Linda's character dies... but I guess it can't be helped. But again, a sequel doesn't feel like a sequel if half the main cast is replaced.

I don't mind having new cast as long as they're good!
After the 1st 2 episodes, Charmaine & Kevin did turn out to be rather good! They didn't spoil the series at all!!!

I'm just gonna be really frank...... I don't like the new cast. X= Kevin seemed fine in it but the rest.... >.>

And I knew that Linda would be killed off in the serial....and Yoyo getting less screen-time. I didn't expect that to happen SO SOON... in the earliest chapters. Maybe if they drag it a little longer then I might still continue to watch.

And even though Linda's hella annoying in this sequel.. I would rather had her alive than dead. ><

Honestly, I am not too fond with the cast. I don't like the additional cast, Kevin and Charmaine. The original cast is better. They limit all the original cast screen time (except Bobby, I think) to fit in Kevin and Charmaine..

Yoyo and Frankie don't make a good match? Ahhh, duh, she ended up with Bobby; did you even finish watching the entire series to begin with?





I couldn't have agreed more!

Linda's reasons were only fair, TVB killed her off only because she had to film the long series! I'm sure they would've kept her a little longer if it wasn't for her scheduling conflicts!

But with YOYO, it was pathetic how UNTHOUGHTFUL and IGNORANT TVB was to reduce her screen time! Yeah, we all knew she needed to film Cordial Heroes, but she tried her best to accommodates her scheduling to film the installment! I mean, is it me of TVB is so DISLOYAL and UNFAIR to their actors/actresses. Yoyo is being striped of her 'hard-worked' series so TVB could insert their so-called 'BEST ACTRESS' - Oh please, it makes me sick to my stomach. TVB's actions are ticking me off day by day!

Anyways, I don't really care how high the ratings are for this sequel, because the reason of its high ratings are only done because of the previous success of FH! If the ratings goes downhill, then we'll all know why!





I personally don't like the new casts! I don't mind new additions; even if it means having Charmine and Kevin (whom I don't really like, nor could I say I HATE), but if the new additions are added and the other main actresses' screen time is CUT SIGNIFICANTLY, then I am completely AGAINST THE IDEA!

It's unfair that TVB would ditch YOYO after her helping bring success to the first one. OBNOXIOUS is the word!

I didnt like having charmaine replace yo yo, but i must admit i like her better than yo yo =/ . I think it would have been more interesting to have two strong female leads kiking butt actually. =D

i agree with you!! about practically everything even though i dont really like linda in fh1.. but yesh.. i agree with u.. tvb is bad.. they always do this kinda stuff to their artistes and theres nothing the artistes can do.. i think it should be linda and yoyo getting MORE screentime and charmaine/kevin less cuz they were NEW.

so im definitely not in favour of the new people. even though i rather like kelvin in the epis i saw. he looks cool.. but still.. he's part of the reason why there's little or no yoyo/linda too..

I don't like the idea of Frankie's character screen-time get cut short because of the new casts but I hope not too much, but Yoyo is going to leave is bad!!

I don't like the addition of Charamine. I'm actually okay with Kevin. His character is okay, but Charmaine...ehh, she's basically taken over the female lead which was supposed to belong to Yoyo. Overall, the the series is better off without Charmaine!

Cordial Heroes only started filming now! There was no such thing as schedule conflict for Yoyo yet TVB cut her screen time! Out of all people, they inserted Charmaine and Kevin (I don't even need to say any words and I guess everyone can get the picture).

Out of Linda and Yoyo, I think Yoyo's character is more important because she's so central to the whole story. And in terms of Charmaine and Yoyo for the 'Madam' role, I personally think Yoyo suits it much better. Charmaine is introduced almost exactly how Yoyo is introduced into FH1. It's almost copying hoping that the audience will too, like Charmaine.

Eg. having the team doubting the new 'madam's ability' but having the 'madam' so capable. Eventually the team will love Charmaine obviously. The dress ripping scene of Charmaine's rushing back from wedding to see the case is using the same kind of idea in The Ultimate Crime Fighter. Yoyo was at some wedding but got called by police station. So she immediately went in the car to be driven back to the police station and changed in the car. They took what worked and used it.

It's not Charmaine's fault...but TVB is really biased.

I still wonder. What is Bobby going to do after Yoyo left? So, he's just going to crack case after case, while the storyline focus on Charmaine's family and the Kevin-Charmaine-Frankie triangle?
I sometimes wonder if Bobby is still the lead of the series.

I also think that they should develope the existing characters like Fred Cheng, Florence Kwok, Raymond Cho, etc.

Btw, do you think TVB keep changing changing cast and using a new story for the sequal is because they are incapable of writing a continuation of existing story? Maybe they only know how to follow the formula of 'boy meets girl, grow to love girl, encounter problem, ends up together/split'. They don't know how to write the story beyond happy ever after.

Maybe that's why the female lead often has to die or move overseas in the sequal. Becuase TVB scriptwriters dunno what else to write for the romance department. They always need to develope relationship from the beginning.

I think the best option should be addition of new cast + retaining screentime of the old cast.

At least I wasn't the only one who thought TVB reused YOYO's introduction in the original for Charmaine in the sequel; isn't it so retarded? LOLZ

In terms of who's the better MADAM, YOYO steals the spotlight from CHARMAINE. I've never seen Charmaine as a good MADAM role; NEVER! I think she only fits as the INNOCENT all GOOD girl; otherwise... EKK! NO COMMENTS!



Right, I wondered how Tim's story would continue without Sui Yua too! I mean, TVB would be messing with fire if they have him start another relationship; I mean, seriously, they've gotten much heat from Sui Yua and Tim's fans due to Yoyo's lack of screentime. They'd be looking to be damnned if they paired Tim with another woman. We'll see how things goes!

And I wouldn't doubt that TVB would focus their attention on Belle, Ivan, and Sam's triangle. EKKK!

Actually, I just started the series and so far.. I like the cast, whether it's old or new. However, doesn't like how TVB always said a series is a 'sequel' but changes everything... from ancient to modern, from an old cast to a completely new cast. This FSII actually does feels like a sequel because at least there are still old casts there even though the female leads will be going away & die!!!

i think the cast is really good both the first one and the second one!! but its sad they had to take out some characters!! but we gain some good characters as well!! like Ding DIng died, but Kevin came so its not that bad!!

I am very disappointed about TVB putting Charmaine and Kevin in this series. I am watching this series just now and all it does is focus on CHARMAINE CHARMAINE CHARMAINE. Where is the Yoyo, bobby and frankie who solves the cases? and Linda making storylines in the first one. This series is getting worse and worse by the day as all the cast around forensic is dying and leaving and Charmaine is coming out more.

i love the new cast esp Charmaine. But i still think retaining the old cast would be a better idea instead of deleting them

hsc100uai: I agree with you. I love the new cast especially with Charmaine in it. Charmaine's character is really interesting as you watch more of the series. I really like Kevin and Charmaine in this series. Seems to me that after Linda left the series, I'm glad that Kevin and Charmaine was in here. The series would be boring without Linda so I guess it's good that they have Kevin and Charmaine in there.

to be honest.. i like charmaine.. but i feel that her character is too 2-d (it lacks depth). It really feels like she has no feeling in anything she does, especially in terms of love, making kevin's love seem somewhat one-sided. I mean, it's just unconvincing as love.... it seems like she gets touched by how much he loves her.. but it's far from loving him back... she and sam has a little more chemistry.. but it still seems far from love. i think that it's part charmaine's fault in acting this time... she tried to0 hard to fit her role of being cool that she forgot to show the human emotional side... her char. is somewhat like louis koo in detective investigation files IV, but louis koo is far more convincing as the cool guy who has a warm heart underneath...

i like the addition of kevin in the series...but they needs to have better female casts. cutting yoyo's scenes are good, but replacing charmaine in the series for linda isnt a good idea. it's tiring to see her in series since she's in too many. would've been better if it's someone else.

first of all i've never seen the first FH so therefore i dont know wat its like bfore the new casts but i can say that i watch this series bcoz of the new casts i watch it bcoz of charmaine n kevin...i dont like linda chung that much so i was glad this new one have char n kevin. they're so much better...becoz of them the series seem bearable...(sorry but no offense im used to american's forensic shows, which are much much better in plots n effect.) also i especially like the chemistry between kev n char. i hope they have a FHIII with this same casts from FHII

I think that the new cast have totally taken over and the old cast like Bobby Au Yeung and Yoyo Mung, were neglected. I wouldnt have mind so much if the screen time was divided more equally

I don't think they should of switched out Yoyo for Charmaine. I think Yoyo is more fit to play more serious roles and Charmaine is more fit to play more funny roles like glittering days or something.

i think differently...becoz most of the crime solving scene n nite out/party stuff u still have bobby n frankie...its jus that frankie doesnt have more screen time but bobby still do...as for love scene yes kev n char have more screen time but the show's about crime solving so its not that big of a problem so therefore bobby n frankie do have equal screen time as new casts

I think they focused too much on Madam Ma and Ivan to a point where it got annoying . It makes Bobby, YoYo and Frankie seem like supporting , rather than lead cast. Don't get me wrong, I ahve nothing against charmaine or anything but I think I saw too much of her >.>

For me, I didn't think I would like the new cast because it would be weird with a new cast and I thought they would just mess up the whole Forensic Heroes series .. [lol] That was before Forensic Heroes 2 was airing. But after finishing the series, I liked the new cast. I actually grew to like them a lot, although I would have still preferred to keep the old cast only. But I guess I really didn't mind it while I was watching the series.

I prefer the new casts over the old ones and I don't mind the fact that the new casts are taking over the old casts' screentime.
I actually enjoyed FH II more than FH I because of Kevin and Charmaines relationship
