SERMIN (YAMAN) ARCAN (38) SABAHATTIN ARCAN (42)
Sermin is the daughter of Serafettin Yaman,
Demir’s uncle. She is the hidden enemy of Demir
and Hunkar. Before his demise, her father was an
important businessman in Cukurova and when
Demir's father was dividing assets according to his
will, he left the small mansion at the Yaman Ranch
to Sermin. Sabahattin is a good and talented doctor. He met
Sermin when he was young and popular, and
Sermin was intent on getting married to him given
that he was a famous doctor. Even though he was
not in love with Sermin, he agreed to this marriage
because she was a member of a good family.
Since Sermin carelessly spends all of her inheritance
money in Europe, leading an extravagant life, she
is only left with the small mansion. Thinking
that she deserves more, she moves in to the small
mansion with her husband. Her daughter studies
at a university in Paris. Known as a gold digging,
conniving, and greedy woman, she is not liked
within the family and Hunkar tries to keep her at
a distance as much as possible.
However, Sermin’s devotion to money, fame and
reputation starts to drive Sabahattin crazy. He
seeks solace in alcohol to distance himself from
Sermin’s insatiable personality and unhapiness.
With time, alcohol becomes his sole escape, and
he becomes the “alcoholic doctor” cliché.
Sabahattin doesn't hold any authority inside the
house or over their daughter Betul’s life. The
head of the house who makes all the decisions is
Sermin.
