Under the title "Despite Their Departure.. These Stars in Ramadan Drama!", the Arabic.net site published an article about several stars of Egyptian drama who have passed away but were still present in this year's Ramadan dramas. The article noted that amidst the competition among many stars in the Ramadan drama series, some works and scenes serve to commemorate artists who have left us recently, and who did not get to see the last works they participated in.
**Youssef Chaban in "Malook Al-Ghadana"**
Leading among these stars is actor Youssef Chaban, who passed away due to complications from COVID-19. He was unable to see the series "Malook Al-Ghadana," co-starring Amr Saad and Mustafa Shaban, which was his last work. Chaban portrayed the character "Am Hokm," whom the protagonists seek to hide a bag from, only to discover him drenched in blood after being murdered when they return to retrieve it. Thus, Chaban's final scene in the world of drama is his death, which he could not witness or know the audience's reactions to, as he passed away before it aired.
**Hadi El-Giar in "Al-Ekhtiyar 2"**
From Chaban to Hadi El-Giar, who also died from COVID-19 and did not get to follow his scenes in the series "Al-Ekhtiyar 2," co-starring Karim Abdel Aziz and Ahmed Mekki. El-Giar plays the role of Ahmed Mekki's father, who is always concerned for his son and offers advice and guidance through the difficult and critical situations his son faces due to his work. Mekki made sure to pay tribute to El-Giar after his passing, sharing a photo of them together from the series and urging the audience to pray for the late actor.
**To the delayed series "Cairo Kabul,"** which was partially filmed in 2020, the late Ahlem El-Greetli appears, who passed away due to a sudden health crisis weeks ago. In the series, El-Greetli plays the character "Khayrat Al-Sayyida," who appears in the events of the third episode of the highly anticipated series that addresses an important issue.
**Noor El-Sherif and Mahmoud Morsi**
In the series "Nasl Al-Aghrab," the late actor Noor El-Sherif makes an appearance years after his death, with his picture appearing on the wall, indicating he is the father of the character portrayed by Amir Karara, while the image of the late Mahmoud Morsi indicates he is the father of the character played by Ahmed El-Sakka. This is not the first time a late actor's image has been used to represent a character's father in a leading role, as the late actor Abdullah Ghaith's image appeared in the series "Al-Ostoura" as the father of Mohamed Ramadan's character.
