Feyza Civelek’s mother’s writing role in all five of her series draws renewed scrutiny

Which series did they work on together?

The filmography and writing credits reported by Onedio identify the following productions on which mother and daughter worked together:

• Adını Feriha Koydum: Feyza Civelek played Lara; Melis Civelek was on the writing team.
• Güllerin Savaşı: The actor played Çiçek Çelik; her mother was on the production’s writing team.
• Bir Umut Yeter: Feyza Civelek played Damla Akar; Melis Civelek was among the contributing writers.
• Sol Yanım: The actor played Nazlım; her mother was on the writing team.
• Kızılcık Şerbeti: Feyza Civelek played Nilay, while Melis Civelek co-wrote the series with Zeynep Gür from its first episode.

According to information the report attributed to IMDb, Feyza Civelek appeared in 138 episodes of Kızılcık Şerbeti, playing Nilay from 2022. The production was described as the longest-running role of her career.

How did Feyza Civelek respond to the allegations?

According to Onedio, Civelek acknowledged in earlier remarks that her mother had opened a door for her, while maintaining that she had progressed through her own efforts and joined the series through an audition. Appearing on Hadi Anlat with Senem Aydın, she said claims that she owed her success to her mother had initially hurt her, but that she later learned to laugh them off.

The report also noted another professional connection within the family: her brother, Ömer Nadir Civelek, played Ömer in Sandık Kokusu, which their mother wrote, and joined the cast of Anne Yarısı as Özcan in 2026.

Melis Civelek’s departure from Kızılcık Şerbeti also forms part of the current context for the debate. Onedio reported that the writing team changed after five seasons, with a new team taking over from episode 143. In an interview with Gazete Magazin, Feyza Civelek said of her mother’s departure, “It was her own decision, and I respect it”; she said she did not know whether the series would end.
