Salty Finds Love In "S.G.H."

Salty Finds Real Love On Set

Last week, they were first introduced to each other on the hit hospital drama series "S.G.H", and yesterday, they were already caught talking and getting cosy with each other on set. Was this just plain acting, or are we witnessing real life chemistry brewing between the two? No one could deny the intense sparks the on-screen lovers, Salty and Backpacker (an unknown actor whose name is yet to be released by the producers), have between them, despite the limited amount of time they have had with each other.

The drama series which premiered last month had a record breaking number of viewership on the day of its debut. It tells the life of a fresh nurse graduate, struggling with her social and new work life.

Last week, the series introduced the new face (backpacker guy) on the show as a male nurse on foreign exchange from another hospital, and whom showed interest in the female lead, Salty. Backpacker's cameo only lasted for a few episodes, as his character - true to his name - would be going abroad to backpack with his friends.

However, fans of the series love his appearance in the episodes so much they would like him to remain on the show and be part of the main cast and hopefully, ending up together with Salty's character. "They look so cute together!" gushed an ardent S.G.H fan, Saltyrox86, on the series's official website forum.

Rumours of Salty and Backpacker's romance growing from on-screen to off-screen has been spreading like wild fire. During the filming of the series's second season, insiders reported that the two were seen getting together frequently, practicing their lines and playing pretend doctors (with stethoscopes and thermometers present on set).

Despite speculations of them being a real-life couple, Salty has this to say to press: "I don't know, lah. I scared leh!" Asked why she was laughing so comfortably in backpacker's presence, Salty repeated shyly: "I don't know why also," before laughing feebily and adjusting her hair awkwardly.

Although the producers kept mum on the list of main cast in season 2, fans of the show would be happy to know that backpacker is spotted on the set of the show.
