There were many news in the press about the Star TV series named Yalı Çapkını (Golden Boy) saying goodbye to its viewers with its finale in May. The information that the series starring Afra Saraçoğlu and Met Ramazan Demir will have its finale at the end of this season is based on the news of journalist Sadık Şimşek.
Information appeared in the press that the production team of the series was making such a plan in order to leave the story as it was.
However, this situation will go down in the records of Turkish TV series history as a big mistake. While there is such an effective story and strong audience support, finishing the project in order to keep it enjoyable will not provide any benefit other than creating a large space for Kızılcık Şerbeti (Cranberry Sherbet), whose story can be extended as much as desired.
It may not be easy for the productions that Star TV will produce after finishing the Yalı Çapkını (Golden Boy) series to even reach the ratings that the finished series can achieve.
Although Friday evenings are one of the toughest days of the rating competition, both Yalı Çapkını and Kızılcık Şerbeti series have tremendous audience support. It is also necessary to consider the fact that this situation will be a great gift to the other channel if one of the two series completes its screen life.
In such a tough rating competition, it would be wiser for Star TV to make plans now to extend the Yalı Çapkını series for at least a few more seasons.
Of course, every series can be completed, but every new project may not even reach the ratings that Yalıcapkini could achieve despite having story problems.
Many television channels have experienced this situation before, and those who finished a successful project because of its story later saw that even their projects with a very good story and cast lost their ratings in a short time.
It would be a huge mistake to discard a production like the Yalı Çapkını, which has influenced such a large audience, at the end of the season.
