The second season of Güller ve Günahlar (Roses and Sins) is expanding its story with new faces, and Ebru Şam is stepping into the drama as lawyer Sonay. Her arrival adds another professional connection to Serhat while introducing a character whose intentions are deliberately difficult to read.
Kanal D officially announced Ebru Şam as one of the major new additions to the second season, alongside İştar Gökseven, who plays Yusuf Tecer. The broadcaster says Sonay’s arrival will affect the existing balance between the characters.
For viewers who have followed the series from its beginning, however, the more interesting question is not simply who Sonay is. It is what she may eventually become within the complicated relationship between Serhat and Zeynep.
Who Is Sonay in Güller ve Günahlar?
Sonay enters the series as a lawyer and Serhat’s professional colleague. In the interview supplied for this story, Ebru Şam describes her as a determined, grounded woman who does not reveal everything about herself immediately.
That detail could prove important.
Television dramas often introduce a new character with an obvious agenda, but Sonay appears to be positioned differently. Rather than immediately identifying her as an ally or rival, the character observes the people around her before showing her hand.
Şam herself described Sonay as being in a neutral position for now both a “rose” and a “sin.” That description fits the central theme of Güller ve Günahlar, where relationships are rarely as straightforward as they first appear.
The official Kanal D announcement also confirms that Sonay’s entrance is intended to shift the existing character dynamics.
Will Sonay Get Closer to Serhat?
This is probably the question most viewers will ask.
Sonay and Serhat already have a professional connection, giving the writers a natural way to bring them together without forcing an immediate romantic storyline. In the interview, Şam does not confirm whether the two characters will become romantically involved.
Instead, she leaves the possibility open.
That restraint is significant because the Serhat-Zeynep relationship remains one of the central emotional threads of the series. The second season continues the story of Murat Yıldırım’s Serhat and Cemre Baysel’s Zeynep, while the new characters broaden the drama around them.
Rather than assuming that Sonay will become a romantic rival, it is more accurate to view her as a new variable whose eventual role has not yet been fully revealed.
Ebru Şam Understands the Pressure of Joining an Established Series
Joining a successful television drama midway through its story comes with a different challenge from launching a new production.
The audience already knows the established characters, understands their conflicts and has expectations about where the narrative should go. Şam acknowledged that responsibility while explaining her excitement about joining the project.
She also revealed that she had been following Güller ve Günahlar before receiving the offer. According to the interview provided for this article, the strength of the existing series was one of the reasons she wanted to become part of the project.
That background gives Sonay’s arrival an interesting extra dimension. The actress is not entering the story without understanding its existing emotional landscape.
Sonay May Be More Complicated Than She First Appears
One of the strongest clues about Sonay is her professional identity.
A lawyer naturally brings a different perspective to a relationship-driven television drama. She can question evidence, understand legal complications and operate in situations where emotions may cloud judgment.
That gives the character opportunities beyond a conventional love-triangle storyline.
Şam’s comments suggest that Sonay is observant, ambitious and self-contained. Her character is not being presented as someone who immediately explains her motives to the audience.
That mystery could become one of the second season’s more intriguing narrative devices.
The second season also introduces Yusuf Tecer, played by İştar Gökseven, with the character connected to long-standing family secrets. Kanal D has indicated that his arrival will bring previously hidden elements of the Tecer family’s past into the story.
With Sonay entering through Serhat’s professional world and Yusuf entering through the family history, the new season is expanding the drama on two different fronts.
Ebru Şam Says Her Sympathy Is With Zeynep
There is another revealing element in Şam’s interview: her own perspective as a viewer.
Asked whether she supports Serhat or Zeynep, she says she feels somewhat closer to Zeynep. Her explanation focuses on Zeynep’s decision to protect and care for a neglected child despite the difficult circumstances surrounding her.
That does not necessarily predict Sonay’s behavior.
In fact, the distinction between the actress’s personal reaction and her character’s motivations is worth keeping in mind. Şam has specifically portrayed Sonay as someone whose position is still unclear.
For viewers following the ZeySer fandom, that ambiguity may make Sonay’s storyline particularly interesting.
What Sonay’s Arrival Means for Season 2
The confirmed facts are straightforward: Ebru Şam plays lawyer Sonay, Sonay works professionally with Serhat, and her arrival is designed to influence the existing character dynamics. The larger questions particularly whether she will become romantically connected to Serhat or challenge Zeynep remain part of the unfolding story.
That is perhaps the smartest way to approach Sonay at this stage.
She is not simply “the new woman” entering Serhat’s life. She is a lawyer, a professional associate, an observer and a character whose loyalties have not yet been completely defined.
For Güller ve Günahlar Season 2, that uncertainty may be precisely the point.
Final Thought
Ebru Şam’s arrival as Sonay gives Güller ve Günahlar Season 2 another layer of mystery. As a confident lawyer with a close professional connection to Serhat, Sonay enters a story already filled with complicated relationships and unanswered questions. Whether she becomes an ally, a source of conflict, or something entirely unexpected remains to be seen.
For now, one thing is clear: Sonay is not revealing all her cards yet and that mystery could make her one of the most closely watched new characters of Season 2.
Roses and sins? The answer may be waiting in the episodes ahead.
