The stars had to battle it out with terrorists for their final scenes
IT’S A WRAP: After three months of filming for upcoming Channel 8 drama, When Duty Calls, our local actors bade goodbye to the drama with a bang.
The last two major scenes for the drama, which will see loads of stunts, high-level special effects and participation from real-life military personnel (Ed’s note: Close to 40 servicemen from the SAF and Home Team and even a Battalion Casualty Station, four Fast Response Vehicles and a Red Rhino, were involved in this terror attack scene) were filmed and completed within the last two weeks.
The scenes, which were filmed at Mattar MRT Station on the Downtown line, saw Felicia Chin, Desmond Tan, Paige Chua and Jasmine Sim helping with the evacuation efforts as the terrorists had planted bombs both inside a train, as well as at Mattar MRT Station itself. Both Desmond and Paige also sustained injuries from their heroic efforts.
However, it was a bitter-sweet farewell for the stars whom Toggle spoke to on-site.

Felicia Chin
The ever-chirpy actress, who plays an army medic in the show, shared that she had done a lot of research before filming commenced, in order to better understand her role, as well as the different protocols and army lingo used by true-blue army medics.
“I’ve asked many different people close to me [for help], and some of them happen to be medics as well. So I’d ask them, ‘Why did you choose to sign on and become a medic?’, and more. Sometimes, when there’s a break during filming, I’ll take the opportunity to approach some of the servicemen and medics and ask them more about their roles as well,” she shared.
The actress also added that she hopes to be able to portray an accurate picture of what being an army medic is really like.
