Why did Şahabettin Paşa (Mehmet Polat) leave Payitaht: Abdülhamid?
Mehmet Polat (Şahabettin Paşa)
The character Şahabettin Paşa was executed and written out of the story in episodes 62-63, after his treachery was exposed. There is no known information suggesting that Mehmet Polat left the series due to any personal grievance or dispute; the departure was connected to the character's scripted death. Note: The historical Şahabettin Paşa is known as a loyal statesman of the era; the series' portrayal of the character as a traitor has been cited as one of the criticisms that Payitaht "does not align with historical fact" — a product of dramatic licence.
