Which Emerald Hill stars stole the spotlight and viewers' hearts?
If you have been following the hit blockbuster drama Emerald Hill religiously, you would definitely understand what we mean when we say it has been an emotional rollercoaster.
We're not going to lie. We have been every bit as invested in the story, impatiently waiting (darn those cliffhanger endings) for new episodes every Monday.
Which cast members had us ranting in group chats, shouting at our screens and sparking heated conversations during mealtimes and gatherings?
Here are the stars who stole the spotlight and our hearts. And also that last piece of nyonya kueh.
CHEN LIPING AS AH ZHU
The 59-year-old delivered both laughs and heart as Ah Zhu, a con artist and compulsive gambler who raises kid Xinniang before giving her to the Zhang family.
Though some critics have whispered that Chen's portrayal is simply a rehash of her past iconic characters, like Mo Wanwan in Holland V, we beg to differ.
IVORY CHIA AS YOUNG XINNIANG
The nine-year-old had viewers in her palm the second she came on screen as kid Xinniang.
Her now iconic scene of her crying 'nya nya' after her adoptive mum (Chen Liping) leaves her with the Zhang family is why she will most definitely win the Young Talent Award at the next Star Awards.
DAWN YEOH AS KANG SI LI
Did anyone see this coming?
Before Emerald Hill, we definitely didn't expect Dawn Yeoh to wow us but the 38-year-old proved everyone wrong with her portrayal of the shrilly, s*** stirring third daughter-in-law. She's the villain everyone loves to hate, which means she's doing something right.
CHANTALLE NG AS ZHANG AN NA
We knew Chantalle Ng was going to play evil in the drama but we sure didn't expect Zhang An Na to be this evil. We have friends who admit they're so done with the character, they would fast forward the scene whenever she comes on. If that's not praise for Ng's acting, we don't know what is.
JESSECA LIU AS LI SHU QIN
Let it be known that from hence on, Liu will be known as only Er Shao Nai Nai.
JUIN TEH AS YAN JIE
As Er Shao Nai Nai's faithful majie Yan Jie, Teh has displayed range and more so than anyone else, become the show's anchor and most comforting presence.
Who doesn't love a good sidekick?

Ex-Mediacorp actress Le Yao makes introspective post after Ian Fang's conviction, Entertainment News
Former Mediacorp actress Le Yao has made an introspective post after Ian Fang was sentenced to jail for sexual offences against a minor. In an Instagram post today (May 20), the 42-year-old, also known as Zully Le, wrote that celebrity status is a "double-edged sword". "You want to enjoy the benefits from the limelight but don't set strict standards for yourself? You want to have social influence and make a lot of money, but don't obey the law and be a good citizen?" she added. "It's impossible to be so greedy as to 'have it all'." Le Yao wrote that she had recently read some local news that made her emotional. Though she did not mention Ian by name in her post, she later told 8World that it was because of his conviction. The 35-year-old former Mediacorp actor pleaded guilty to three charges of sexual penetration of a girl under 16. Three similar charges were taken into consideration for sentencing, along with one count of obstructing justice and one count of stalking. He received 40 months' jail on May 19, with his sentence expected to start in June. Ian was an acting teacher with a modelling school during the time of his offences, where he was teaching children aged four to 14. "Every adult is a role model and mentor for the younger generation. Children will look at things naively and believe in their teachers," Le Yao wrote. "Parents also teach them this way: Listen to teachers. "So as a practitioner in the education industry and a mother, I firmly resist people with bad morals entering the education industry. " Le Yao pursued a diploma in the Teaching Chinese Language course at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in 2010 and currently teaches at a speech and drama centre. She added that people may firstly "not have the professional knowledge to teach" but secondly, if they have "bad conduct", they should avoid the industry to "not bring irreparable harm to the new generation of young people". [embed] Le Yao started her showbiz career with Mediacorp after placing as a finalist in Star Search 2001. Her acting credits include The Unbeatables III (2002), Holland V (2003), The Oath (2011) and My Friends from Afar (2017). This article has been edited for clarity. [[nid:717963]] drimac@

‘I have pieces I've worn for years': Zoe Tay helps open iRoo's first eco-conscious outlet store

PHOTO: IROO SINGAPORE – To veteran local actress Zoe Tay, sustainability does not begin and end with recycling bins or buzzwords. It starts in the wardrobe. 'I have pieces I've worn for years,' says the 57-year-old. 'Even if I rewear them, I'll style them differently. If it's well made and timeless, why not?' Among her favourites is a pair of jeans from Coterie – a label by Malaysia-based Singaporean fashion designer Celest Thoi – that she continues to reach for. While Tay says she has a soft spot for bags, she is just as quick to pass them on. 'Some of them, I give to my niece and nephew, in-laws or assistant,' she says. 'There're so many. I used to keep them all hidden in my wardrobe cabinets. But when I finally displayed them, I realised I had a lot of duplicates.' She has also contributed to donation drives, such as one organised by Channel 8 that collected celebrity fashion items to be resold. 'I think the important thing is when you re-give your items and people enjoy them.' The black-clad Mediacorp artiste was speaking to The Straits Times at the opening of Taiwanese fashion brand iRoo's first outlet store at Singapore's largest outlet mall IMM on May 23. iRoo has opened its first outlet store at IMM in Jurong. PHOTO: IROO The womenswear label founded in 1999, with more than 70 branches in Taiwan, is best known for its fast-turning weekly collections. Its fifth and newest 1,600 sq ft boutique in Singapore – which offers pieces from past seasons' collections at prices at least 40 per cent off – marks a more reflective chapter. Not only is it the brand's first outlet store, but it also introduces iRoo's first tentative steps into sustainability through a creative collaboration with Singaporean eco-innovation company Wynist. Under the initiative, Repurposing Waste For A Greener Future, the IMM outlet store showcases fixtures, hangers and even sunglasses made from compressed textile waste and discarded coffee grounds. Each display table, for instance, is made from 25kg of repurposed fabric waste – none of it iRoo's own, but a symbolic start to a wider ambition. Taiwanese fashion label iRoo's first outlet store in IMM spans 1,600 sq ft. PHOTO: IROO 'I'm drawn to a monochromatic palette – black, white, grey. My wardrobe is full of these colours,' says Tay, who was invited to the launch as a VIP guest, gesturing to the tailored blouse and belted skirt she had selected from iRoo's current collection for the occasion. But the actress' latest role – as formidable matriarch Liu Xiuniang in the Mediacorp Peranakan period drama Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story (2025) – did nudge her out of her monochrome comfort zone. She says each character had a distinct palette, thoughtfully assigned by the production team to reflect his or her personality. 'This was my first time dressing up as a Nonya,' adds Tay, who is Teochew and Cantonese. 'My colour was green.' Actresses Zoe Tay (centre, wearing a green kebaya labuh) and Jesseca Liu (right) in Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story. PHOTO: MEDIACORP Of all her on-screen outfits, one in particular stood out. 'The first one I wore – that long coat – it was very hot,' she says, referring to the kebaya labuh, a traditional full-length kebaya often associated with older women. 'But the colour lent so much vibrance to the character and the whole image.' Tay's openness to evolving with time – and staying true to what feels authentic – mirrors iRoo's new direction. Ms Emily Huang, chief operating officer of iRoo International, says: 'Sustainability often clashes with lifestyle. We travel, we shop – and that creates tension with the idea of a carbon-free blueprint. But we wanted to find a balance.' According to her, iRoo's production model has always diverged from traditional fast fashion. 'We don't do mass production,' she says. 'We release only about 20 styles a week – not 1,000 pieces like other brands – and we produce in limited quantities. If consumers respond well, we replenish. So, there's more variety, but also less waste.' Ms Emily Huang (left), chief operating officer of iRoo International, and actress Zoe Tay. PHOTO: IROO 'Singapore is always the first step for our brand to step out of its comfort zone,' adds Ms Huang, adding that iRoo's debut here in 2010 was a strategic move that established the city as a test bed for international growth. 'That's why our headquarters decided to launch this new concept – sustainability – in Singapore first. The next step is to bring it to other South-east Asian markets such as Malaysia and Vietnam.' Her goal? To one day recycle iRoo's leftover fabrics and unsold goods into store fixtures like hangers and tables. Whether this circular ambition becomes reality remains to be seen. In the store's quiet backroom, rows of conventional plastic hangers still line the racks – a quiet reminder that sustainability, like style, is a work in progress. iRoo's outlet store is at 01-112 IMM, 2 Jurong East Street 21.

Actress Ya Hui had to pay after she stepped on her Star Awards dress last year and ripped it
Star Awards is the time of the year where celebs slip into the most glamorous of gowns and snappiest of suits. But have you wondered how difficult it actually is to stay put-together for an entire day? Former Mediacorp actress Ya Hui knows first-hand the answer to that. In a recent interview with Chinese media 8world, the 38-year-old star, who is up for Best Supporting Actress and Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes at this year's Jul 6 ceremony, lamented about how hectic awards day usually is. "We're already so tired after putting on our make-up. And we have to keep making sure we don't step on our gowns," she recalled. Yet, believe it or not, despite her efforts Ya Hui still stepped on her sponsored bronze maxi Maria Lucia Hohan dress last year. When asked if she had to compensate for it, the actress then replied with a chuckle. "My stylist and I split half-half.... [We had to pay] S$4,000-plus," she sighed. Yes, you read that right. A quick check on the Romanian designer brand's website shows that their dresses range from S$2000 to S$4,900. "Just one hole. That one step left a hole in my dress," elaborated Ya Hui before sniggering: "So... there was a price to pay." She must have felt so heart pain. But at least she went home with a Top 10 trophy, her eighth one to be exact, at the end of the day?
