Samer Al Masri Officially Off Bab El Hara

samer al masri as abu shehab

A month ago, rumors of Wael Sharaf leaving Bab El Hara were shot down, but this time around the news of Samer Al Masri's departure are no rumors!

Actor Samer Al Masri, who plays Al 3ageed on Bab El Hara has officially been taken off the popular Ramadan series.
Al Masri, who has been known and loved for his portrayal of Al 3ageed, won't be the actor playing the famous character, but the role may have been handed over to another Syrian actor; Alaa Al Qasem.

The reason behind this drastic measure?
Al Masri's participation in the Zain TV ad as Abu Shehab is the reason!
Al Masri had no right to use the character, which is owned by MBC, when and how he pleased. Being Abu Shehab in the ad was kinda' illegal!

I wonder what Abu Shehab would be like without the character being Samer Al Masri?!

    oh lord!....that's so pathetic and somewhat doesn't make any sense..how could they take of the actor who played all 3 seasons and replace him with another!...whats gone into basam almalla!>??
    he doesnt know what he is doing!..like season 3 wasn't so good even with samer as masri...what about season 4?...its gonna be the biggest failure yet to happen!

    ..um does anyone know who Alaa Al Qasem is?? i have never heard of that man...?

    but i am kinda happy..because if samer al masri is in season 4..it will fail anyway..so samer got away with it! lol
    but hopefully i will see him in another series in Ramadan!

    love you samer!!!

    Bab al hara will end so badly, so sad to see such a great start and then ends off so poorly.. :(


    thanks WALEG for keeping us updated! :)

    but again..why in the world would Samer participate in an add for a different channel using mbc's character abu shaab,..oh dear, samer must know his boundaries!

    so MBC/bassem almalla, have a right to get mad..
    wrong move Samer :(

    WALEG..do you have any pictures of that new guy replacing abu shaab?

    i just read that a saudi actor will be introduced and al malla said he doent think it will make much of a difference.

    Taj haydar and abu Isaam went out of bab al hara for financial disagreement and now samer was exculded from the series for doing an add...and now who next? lol..

    mariam you have no taste of drama or actor!
    you choose a boring actor and who have mustache. and you like who are from suria country, too. you need to watch khaligi their best.

    just watch tash ma tash so you'll know what am saying after you're done!

    Mariam speaking of Tash ma tash. which character you like the looking ahbal ahwal guy or the long chin man.

    me i like the ahwal dude cause one of his serious i saw that he went to see the girl and he didn't know her father behind the door. her father show up and knock his eye. So he went back home and he told his friend is my eye ok.

    this bab alhara is awful drama!

    yeah..have to agree..bab al hara is turning into awful embarrasing drama..pff oh dear..such a start and such an ending....what a pity

    ya3ney ahmad you can have your own views but dont say anything about syrian drama, btw go learn some english, your spelling is sooo bad, dont write a language when you cant spell it properly. i loved your drawing of haifa, but now you have crossed the line, khaliji drama is good but not better than the syrian or egyption drama, the syrian and egyption drama have a big name and everyone knows that, if you dont then watch more tv drama's.
    but i have to say bab el hara was good but now its not i find it as if they are dragging the story on, and there is no excieting drama events.

    the truth is i don't like suria drama ms. Kadooj!

    they are always wear the same dress and angry actors and actress. no humur of sense just getting angry and angierer!

    you should watch tash series when they brought chinese tourist and start talking to them in arabic but they don't understand Saudi accent.

    @ Halima

    THANKS HALIMA!!!

    yes now i know him!!, hes a pretty good actor! and bassem chose pretty well i have to admit....Alaa has a similar appearance and character to samer....and hes got that strong personality....

    thats gonna be interesting to watch..but really they completely ruined bab al hara..how disappointing

    @ bab el hara lover

    Alaa Al Qasem will be replacing samer al masri and will be acting as abu shaab...

    me3taz is apparently staying in the series and there is rumors that abu isam is coming back as well....

    Ahmed...it seems like you haven't watched Syrian comedy.. ever watched dai3a dai3a?

    Syrians aren't angry ahmed, its seems that you only refer to bab al hara, well its not that they are angry, but they are impersonating life back in the olden days, and during that time, every man in the 7ara had to be strong, tough etc..

    its all in the acting.

    try watch dai3a di3a or in other words the lost village, search it up on utube and watch it... you will need to get the hang of it but when you start understanding it, its very hilarious.

    lol ahmed did you watch the episode where the ahbel dude lost his memory>? that was an awesome episode!.

    r u really comparing the Syrian or masri drama to the khaliji one ?? khaliji drama is STUPID and very predictable , huh let me tell u wat all of them r about .
    A woman is married to a rich guy and the guy either get married to another woman or keep hitting her al the times and she has to face that and deal with it.
    I basically summarized 90% of the khaliji drama in those 2 lines. and u said Syrian have no sense of humor in their acting , then u abviously haven't seen salata , 3a2elaty wa ana (my family and I), elfousoul el 2aeba3a (the 4 seasons) , 2let zoo2 wa ketret 3'alabi , homey hoon .
    sorry but next time don't just talk or tell ur opinion if it is not based on facts or evidences .

    babe!

    i can tell you're Surian and i guess you hate khaliji people, too. why?
    is it their accent. babe don't hate.
    am khaliji and am proud of myself and me!

    if i were Ahbal i wouldn't say that i hate Suria. you just made it in you're head.Idoit!

    I could tell you ate too much chocolate. it is bad for you ms. Babe!

    sorry but i just have to say SYRIAN MUSALSALS ARE #1 wul ba2iye yibaltu bil bahr for all i care!!!! lol

    syrian musalsals are amazing and if you don't think so its probably because you don't understand them ie khaliji or masri people!

    i know bab al hara has gone downhill, but its the exception to the rule...syrians know how to act! and they have the best comdey, drama, and history musalsals!

    remember donia, zeer salim, layali salhiye, 3aylit 5 njoom (and the others), abna2 el qahr, ghizlan fi ghabit el theab, hajiz el samt, wa sha2 el hawa, omg there are sooo many!!! i can't even start to list! it'd be crazy

    the best thing behind syrian dramas is the fact they have a moral and deal with current issues like drugs, interfaith marriages, running away from home, aids, poverty, imbalance of classes, marriage problems etc...
    khaliji musalsals are all yelling and screaming and pulling hair! except for the comedies of course and egyptian musalsals are all khiyane (betrayal) and partying and drinking (with an exception to hajj mitwale and sarah)... there are always exceptions, but these pale in comparison to the success of syrian musalsalat!
    syrian musalsals are played in/on all countries channels for a reason! they are munwa3a not like the others!

    ok i'm done my rant, but seriously people! think before you talk!

    oh and i'm not syrian by the way!!! lol but i am from belad al sham so i guess this is why i am so passionate about this!

    ahmed first of all u wat u said didn't make any sense , second no I do NOT hate anybody , third u knew I was saying the truth so u thought u would get away from replying to my answer by saying ohh I can tell u r syrian . yes I'm Syrian and very proud of it , but I wasn't defending the Syrian drama cause I'm Syrian , but becasue it is a fact that it is the number 1 drama in the arab world .
    so next time if u want to try to be smart , pick a better answer and make sure it makes sense

    bab al hara is not going to be good anymore without Samer al Masri . instead of complaining they should be glad that Samer did teh commercial it is more advertising for them...... and Samer al masri is the one that defended Wael so he stays on the show........

    NOW Samer Al amsri is going to be IN Bait Jiddi part 2 called AL SHAm Aladieh so BAB Al Hara lost... I don't think that people are going to watch anymore . he plays Al Zaiim . Samer Al MAsri made Abu shehab's role as far as everybody is concerned he will stay Ageed .Nobody trust Bassam Al Mala
