Big changes are happening behind the scenes of Aşk ve Gözyaşı. Soon after the director stepped down, the show’s screenwriter was also replaced, and the story is now taking a completely new direction. What was first introduced as a remake of the Korean drama Queen of Tears will continue with an original script.

Berk Cankat, who joined the series as Ercan — Meyra’s (Hande Erçel) former lover — is now leaving the cast. The death of his character will mark a major turning point in the story and bring difficult days ahead for Selim, played by Barış Arduç.

Fans of the actor have expressed disappointment over his early exit, but there’s good news: Cankat will soon appear in the new season of Zeytin Ağacı, where he takes on the role of a Greek character named Yorgo.
