Although years have passed since it bid farewell to the screen, the unforgettable television production Akasya Durağı continues to make headlines due to disputes among its cast. Amid recent rumors circulating behind the scenes about a potential reboot of the series, comments made by Melek Baykal, who brought the character of Melahat to life, have drawn attention.
"IT WAS NOT A PROJECT I LOVED VERY MUCH"
Stating that she only took part in Akasya Durağı for a very short time, Baykal remarked, "Akasya Durağı was not a project I loved very much. I worked there for a very short time. Later, I asked for my leave from the late Mr. Türker (İnanoğlu)." The experienced actress expressed that she prioritized theater and, for that reason, did not look favorably upon long-running series projects.
"IT IS A GOOD THING YOU STAYED FOR A SHORT TIME"
These statements by Baykal sparked a reaction from Ateş Fatih Uçan, who played Ali Kemal, one of the series' beloved characters. In a post on his social media account, Uçan implied that Baykal had approached the project with dubbing demands and experienced difficulties regarding her performance, stating, "It is a good thing you stayed for a short time."
