Digital Phablet – Filming for “Doktor Başka Hayatta” kicks off amid emerging cast updates and modifications.
Next week, production begins on the highly anticipated Turkish adaptation of the popular TV series “Doc.” If there are no last-minute changes, the local version is set to broadcast under the title “Doktor Başka Hayatta” (Doctor in Another Life). The project is produced by Dass Yapım and is already shaping up to be one of the most ambitious medical dramas of the upcoming season.
One of the notable behind-the-scenes alterations involves the character played by Sıla Türkoğlu. Initially announced as Mevsim, her role’s name has been officially changed to Elif just days before filming commences, as the script was finalized.
The series boasts a talented cast. İbrahim Çelikkol will portray Prof. Dr. İnan Kural, a brilliant and well-respected physician at Terra Hospital. Sıla Türkoğlu stars as Elif, a woman who plays a crucial role in İnan’s emotional life. The cast also includes Şebnem Hassanisoughi (Aylin), Bertan Asllani (Toprak), Ferit Aktuğ (Ekin), Esra Akkaya (Feda), Eylül Tumbar (Zeren), Yasemin Yazıcı (Aslı), Merve Bulut (Nesrin), Berk Özgür (Ali Kocaman), Özge O’Neill Sarımola (Gülten), Aysun Demir (Rüveyda), and Nurhayat Boz (Mukaddes).
The story centers around Prof. Dr. İnan Kural, widely regarded as one of the top doctors in his specialty. After surviving an armed attack, he awakens from surgery to find that he has completely lost his memories of the past 12 years. The life he carefully built—his career, relationships, and personal history—feels entirely alien to him as he begins to live a life he doesn’t recognize.
İnan and Elif share a complicated relationship, strained by his memory loss. She was the only woman he truly loved, yet he remembers nothing about her. Meanwhile, he still maintains a strong emotional bond with his ex-wife, adding layers of complexity to his already troubled life.
İbrahim Çelikkol’s previous roles in series like İffet, Merhamet, Siyah Beyaz Aşk, and Doğduğun Ev Kaderindir have showcased his commanding presence and charm. His ability to convey deep internal conflicts makes him an ideal choice for a character struggling with his identity.
Sıla Türkoğlu rose to fame with her role in Emanet, and her subsequent performance in Kızılcık Şerbeti solidified her status as a major star among young actors. Her wide emotional range and strong audience connection bring depth to her portrayal of Elif.
Before its premiere, “Doktor Başka Hayatta” is already generating considerable excitement due to its dramatic premise, emotional intensity, and talented cast.
