Ceren Karakoç Recalls What She Felt When She First Read Nursema In Kızılcık Şerbeti
Ceren Karakoç, who recently returned to the Show TV drama Kızılcık Şerbeti, has described what went through her mind the first time she read Nursema on the page. Speaking to Oksijen TV, the actress compared her character to old Istanbul: hidden behind the large buildings put up around it, yet surfacing again whenever someone digs. In Ceren Karakoç's words, Nursema's inner world is 'very precious and fragile.'

Ceren Karakoç says Nursema felt "like a historic place in Istanbul" when she first read the script.
Ceren Karakoç played Nursema for four seasons of Kızılcık Şerbeti. She was written out of the cast in August, ahead of season five, and came back to the series in October. After her return she sat down with Oksijen TV, where the conversation turned to her very first encounter with the character.
Asked how she, as a woman from Istanbul, saw Nursema, Ceren Karakoç said that when she first picked up the text the character seemed to her 'like a historic place in Istanbul.'
She went on: 'The more you go inside, the more you excavate and work in there... You know how old Istanbul comes out from every corner of Istanbul? Like that.'
A Character Hidden Behind Big Buildings
According to Ceren Karakoç, Nursema is not someone you notice at first glance. 'She is actually suppressed, I mean, those big, big buildings have been put up around her. Maybe she can't be seen,' the actress said.
What she found once she started digging was, in her words, a 'state of bringing oneself into existence' in spite of all those bad buildings and the pollution around. She summed the character up in one sentence: 'Her inside is very precious and fragile.' Ceren Karakoç added that she sensed the beauty inside Nursema would come out as time passed.
While the first episodes centred on Doğa and Fatih, Ceren Karakoç sensed Nursema's story would turn into something else.
The host asked whether she saw this depth on the first read or noticed it over time. Ceren Karakoç answered by recalling the character's earliest scenes: Nursema first appeared in a brief moment at the door, then entered the story in the second episode as 'the older sister of the house, that is, the middle daughter.'
The opening episodes of Kızılcık Şerbeti focused on the story of Doğa and Fatih. Ceren Karakoç said she thought from the very beginning that Nursema would not stay that way: 'I said, I want to be here. I think this is going to evolve into something else, and it did evolve into something else.'
When the host remarked that she had grown the character with her own feelings, the actress replied briefly: 'Yes, I believed in her a little.'
Nursema, known for her successive marriages and for a storyline in which she gradually finds her own voice, has been one of the show's most talked-about characters. According to the source report, episode 145, the one in which Ceren Karakoç returned, brought the series its highest rating of season five.
