This list is by no mean completed, but just to the best of my knowledge. Please do let me know if there is any series or movie I might have skipped or any detail I might have put down inaccurately. Great thanks, mimosa!

… and back home Gallen is seemingly heading! This time it might not just be for a brief vacation spent with families and friends. One short paragraph from a report lately give a pulse of life to the hope of having Gallen Lo in a production with TVB motif once again. Rumor has it for a while that he has been contacted about this TVB-anniversary-slash-(1997-2007)-HK-handover series, as far back as May of last year (2005), yet this humble and tiny paragraph at the very end of a huge article has been the first and only tangible proof so far. Of course one should wait for the confirmation from dear Gallen himself, but keeping one’s hope and having it turning into reality is an absolutely thrilling process…

Or one could plunge oneself into some sort of analysis like the following just to give the hope a little foundation:

- Gallen’s latest historical project Chinese Moon from Hu’s Land (lit translation from Chinese working title) with Universe should enter post-production by now if everything has gone according to the reported schedule. What does it mean? It means Gallen is indeed available should he wants to participate in Turbulent Times (or Time Turbulence, however you want to translate/interpret Fung Wan Shui Yuet, the pre-production name for the aforementioned TVB series)

- What he once was, has been, and will forever be remembered for, is the modest multi-talented First Brother of TVB! Now when TVB has a series to celebrate its anniversary - not just any anniversary, but the grand 40th - it is simply a natural, sensible, and emotional thing for Gallen to go back and be a part of it, however small his role might be! He just need to come back because he has once perfectly belonged, is greatly missed, and will forever be loved by the great TVB community.

- It does not mean he has to come home and stay, because frankly, since various reports (Chinese as well as English) emerged online a few days back, TVB fans have feared that their endearing TV station might soon turn into something not so familiar anymore. And before it is turned into something not-so-TVB, Gallen should definitely be back in time to be in a somewhat trademark TVB production. Not really for him, but rather for fans who’ve been so used to the Gallen - TVB (the original TVB of course! ) combination.

For him, it doesn’t really matter where he is. He shines always!
