SANIYE TASKIN (26) FADIK (20)
Saniye is Gaffur's wife and the main cook at the
Yaman ranch. She has been working for the Grand
Lady for many years. At first, she helps Yilmaz
and Zuleyha get jobs at the ranch. After Gaffur’s
warnings and the evident rise of Zuleyha in the
Grand Lady’s favor, she sides against them. Her
only wish is to cement Gaffur’s place in the Yaman
Ranch as the main butler. As foolhardy as Gaffur,
there is nothing she wouldn't do to keep their
place in the ranch. A worker at the Yaman ranch, Fadik mostly takes
care of the small mansion. Sharp as a razor, she
is skillful and clever. She is the first person to be
jealous of Zuleyha because of her higher rank
within the ranch. Fadik sees Zuleyha as an enemy
and tries to cut the ground under her feet. Sermin
uses Fadik as a cover while messing with Demir,
Hunkar and Zuleyha.
GULTEN TASKIN (22) VELI DONMEZ (38)
Gulten is Gaffur’s sister and works at the Yaman
ranch as well. She falls in love with Yilmaz at first
sight. She treats Zuleyha very closely, thinking
that she and Yilmaz are siblings. But Zuleyha is
aware of Gulten's feelings toward Yilmaz, which
makes her jealous. Gulten is more naïve compared
to the other workers at the ranch. Veli is Zuleyha's step brother who has been working
as a jitney driver. He has a gambling addiction that
he funds through various endeavors. He doesn't
have a strong relationship with Zuleyha whom
he lives with but is pleased with the money she
brings home. His guise of self-confidence while
gambling is a deflection caused by the ultimate
realization of his uselessness.
The fact that Demir has fallen for Zuleyha is a first
for Gulten and all the other women at the ranch
because until then they could not even dream of
one of them being with someone from the higher
class let alone a landowner. Zuleyha’s rise will
open up a whole new vision for them.
He doesn't have a benevolent nature to begin with.
With time, he gives into his wicked inclinations.
Due to his weak personality, his gambling
addiction takes control, and he makes Zuleyha
pay for his mistakes and addiction.
