Devrim Özkan and Ulaş Tuna Astepe Çift Kişilik Oda canceled after just 8 episodes
ALBAWABA - Devrim Özkan and Ulaş Tuna Astepe star power couldn't save 'Çift Kişilik Oda' from cancellation. The Turkish drama series Çift Kişilik Oda (Double Room), which started with high hopes and a strong cast, has not lived up to viewers' dreams. The eighth episode will be the last one, and the show will end. The choice was made right after the sixth episode of the show aired. Reporter Birsen Altuntaş says that the production has decided to end the series earlier than planned. This is an unexpectedly early end to a show that starred some of Turkey's rising and established stars, such as Ulaş Tuna Astepe, Devrim Özkan, Sevil Tunca, Begüm Çıtak, Levent Ülgen, and Serkan Tınmaz. Devrim Özkan & Ulaş Tuna Astepe Çift Kişilik Oda Instagram profile Ayşe Üner Kutlu wrote Çift Kişilik Oda, which is about a young woman named Nilüfer (played by Devrim Özkan) who lost her parents when she was young and wants to work at the hotel they built. One of the hotel's owners, Kaan (Ulaş Tuna Astepe), comes back to the estate not to be nice but to get back at his half-sister Sevil. This changes her life in a way she didn't expect. Loss, ambition, and change were all explored in the story as Nilüfer and Kaan, who both had very different goals, go on an emotional trip that changes them both. The show's premise and emotional depth were praised, but it had a hard time keeping fans because there were so many other good shows on TV at the same time. Fans of the show have been upset on social media, saying they liked the acts but wish there had been more time to develop the characters and storylines. Since there are only two shows left, Çift Kişilik Oda will try to wrap up its story. It will be interesting to see if it gets a second chance through streaming or stays a short-lived soap.

Barış Arduç and Gupse Özay reunite publicly amid breakup rumors
ALBAWABA - Barış Arduç and Gupse Özay silence breakup rumors with appearance. News about the famous Turkish pair Barış Arduç and Gupse Özay keeps dominating the headlines. This comes after rumors of a split in their relationship because of the raunchy scenes Barış Arduç and Hande Erçel acted in on the TV show "Remember Love" (Hatırla Aşk). People on social media shared this picture of the couple with a friend during the first week of July, when they were on vacation for the summer. This picture was taken in response to all the rumors about the pair. It got the attention of the Turkish press when Gupse did something very unusual: she liked Hande Erçel's most recent Instagram post, even though she had never commented on any of her posts before. People saw this move as Gupse's way of responding to the reports and letting them know that there was no problem between her and Barış. Hande Erçel Instagram profile In a recent interview with the media, Hande Erçel said she didn't like how much attention was paid to her sexy scenes in the TV show "Remember Love." "This work... this is not something to talk about." We speak for our country to the rest of the world. Why do we keep bringing up small problems when a work of this magnitude is being shown? Bullying tactics wouldn't have made us here today if they had. A lot of press has been written about Barış and Hande's many artistic projects together, from the movie "Rüzgara Bırak" (Leave it to the Wind) to the TV series "Hatırla Aşk" (Remember Love) and now a third project that will likely air on a major TV network. Their personal scenes in the most recent series put their names at the top of search engines. At the same time, news spread that Barış and Güpse were having problems and that Hande and her boyfriend, Hakan Sabancı, were having problems.
