Actress Yeliz Simsek joins “Storm of Love” and plays the cousin of a character who recently found happiness at the Fürstenhof.
A Ceylan left in early May 2023, while another is already in the starting blocks for “Storm of Love”: Actress Yeliz Simsek (33) will soon be visiting the famous Fürstenhof. She will play the cousin of the series character Shirin Ceylan, who was embodied by Merve Çakir (29) in seasons 17 to 19 and who recently found her wedding happiness.
This is exactly what will ensure that the new character Lale Ceylan only opens at the Fürstenhof in the first place. Because after Shirin and her husband Gerry (Johannes Huth, 34) decide on their honeymoon not to return to tranquil Bichlheim, Lale actually only wants to pick up a few things for her cousin there.
But as always, everything turns out differently than initially planned. The young woman spontaneously decides to take over the vacant job as a fitness trainer as a replacement for Max Richter (Stefan Hartmann, 33). What the power woman at the Fürstenhof quickly becomes aware of: More than her new job, she secretly longs for great love – one like her cousin found there.
It should still be in July
“I love the role of Lale and I’m very happy that I get to play her,” Simsek enthuses about her character. “Lale is funky and brings a breath of fresh air to the ‘Fürstenhof’ as a fitness trainer”. However, it will be some time before TV viewers can get to know them: Simsek is part of the “Sturm der Liebe” family from episode 4,068. The episode is scheduled to air on July 27, 2023.
If the name Yeliz Simsek doesn’t mean anything to you: the native of Cologne has already worked in various film and series productions. She made her cinema debut almost ten years ago in the comedy “Macho Man” with Christian Ulmen (47) and Aylin Tezel (39). She has also appeared in the two “Tatort” editions “Storm” (2016) and “Never Without Me” (2019), as well as in the “Traumschiff” offshoot “Cruise into Happiness” in 2022.
