They look so cute here. I love how Ayse takes care of Hurrem even when she doesn't like her (and later she'll do it for Gulnihal!) and also this is like the first scene where Hurrem actually shows concern for Gulnihal, asking for her to stay there instead of doing chores

I genuinely came to appreciate Ayşe Hatun a lot more on this rewatch. I love how well-constructed she is: she's the first established woman of SS's favourites' floor who, however, hasn't gotten further than a favourite, which makes her the main representative of both the harem concubines in Topkapi in the present through her embodying their collective wish to rise higher themselves, resenting everyone else who does that instead of them, and Manisa's past in terms of the harem through her having achieved her status there and actually enjoying that status for a bit (SS inviting her to a halvet in E01, them giving her seperate chambers in E02) instead of mourning it [which differentiates her from Mahidevran, Gülfem and pretty much the whole Manisa gang - they all have particular experiences that can't be replicated in this new reality (or in Gülfem's case, these experiences are merely lost hardships endured in the even more distant past, right on the spot, and moved on from as much as possible, so the character is introduced to us from that point), Ayşe's predicament is the only one that completely builds off of Manisa's]. This allows her to have rapports with as many people as possible, as fleshed out as they can be, that linger or evolve naturally, all building up to the plots she's involved in and her subsequent finish: her respect for Mahidevran which introduces the importance of her position for the concubines and makes her defend her in E10 and E13, these respective scandals inciting Nigar's "two sultanas" dilemma and letting Hürrem lose her composure completely due to the provocations; her neutral politeness/affability to rivalry to straight-up enmity with Hürrem, each stage reached organically with each event and setting up the concubines' further enstrangement from Hürrem, the temporary peace (E11-12) and the final E13 scandal; her genuine fondness of Gülnihal, revealing more of her caring side and intensifying her already bad blood with Hürrem; her resentment and distrust of Sadika, both bringing her even closer to the main ağas and kalfas, to the heart of the action, and alienating her from them, from the concubines, as she now has a separate plot... and then we lose her. There're also her reverence of Ibrahim, Sümbül and Nigar, coming out due to her involvement not just with Sadika but with the poison as well, and her familiarity with Gülşah, inciting her assistance in stealing the ring. We get to know her and care about her (and also root for her to quite an extent as we know she's right about Sadika), so when she's taken away from us, it's a big deal - a big showcase of the humanity and the involvement of the side characters the show will gradually lose as we lean more inside the empire instead (and I see this not as a flaw, but as a feature; well, most of the time...).

This sheer blue glittering kaftan was first worn by Hürrem Sultan in the twenty-seventh episode of the second season of Magnificent Century. The kaftan was used five times in the third season. It can be seen on Fatma Hatun in the seventeenth episode, on Ayşe Hatun in the twenty-fifth episode and on Cihan Hatun in the thirty-ninth episode as well as on unnamed harem members in the thirty-first and thirty-eighth episodes. The kaftan was used five times in the fourth season. It was worn by a harem member either named Hazal or Neze Hatun in the second episode and by Dilşah Hatun in the eighth episode, as well as by two unnamed harem members in the twenty-ninth and thirtieth episode. The kaftan appears one final time on İsmihan Sultan in the thirty-sixth episode.

I have a very stupid question but then again I'm very bad at comparing faces. Is the Ayse Hatun in episode 60 that gets kicked down the stairs by Fatma Hatun the same Ayse Hatun that gives birth to Nergissah?

I can't say whether this is the same actress or not. They look similar to me but then they could just look very much alike. Unfortunately the youtube page cuts the credits off or else I would check if it names the same actress.

@starbabe569 you have a point about a childless favorite being Hürrem’s rival during the first season. Ayse Hatun would’ve fit. She already dislikes Hürrem even the latter hasn’t done anything to her. Of course, since being Mustafa’s mother saved Mahi- Ayse would probably end up being executed for the poison incident.

The feud with Mahidevran could come in when Suleiman goes back to Hürrem’s bed. Then it’s clear Hürrem is being favored to an extreme degree and Mahi has a reason to be worried.

Atike - son of Ekmekçizade Ahmed Pasha 1618-? - Sofu Kenan Pasha ~1624-1652 - Doganci Yusuf Pasha 1652-until her death

Theories:

The daughter born in 1605 March being Gevherhan (and then she was not Mahfiruze's daughter).

Hasan being Mahfiruze's not Bayezid and they both died due to complications.

Zeynep being Mahfiruze's daughter as Osman II possibly had a daughter Zeynep (as there are two Zeyneps buried in Ahmed I's türbe), and since Zeynep is not a dynastical name, Osman may named her after his deceased sister. PS: One of the sarcofagies is for a grown woman, which can be a mistake, or maybe Osman's daugter Zeynep reached adulthood (would be strange as until now there is no evidence for an adult sultana called Zeynep during this period).

Identity of Abide: Now it seems that Abide was not a daughter, but an aunt of Ahmed I and so the daughter of Murad III, see more under Murad III's family tree.

If we don't add these to the mirror's foil, the mirror will be flawed and we would look flawed in a flawed mirror.

These orange earrings were first worn by Princess Isabella Fortuna in the seventh episode of the second season of Magnificent Century. They are worn again by Daye Hatun in the twenty-fourth episode of the same season. The earrings make further appearances on Nurbahar Hatun in the sixth episode and Ayşe Hatun in the twenty-first episode of the third season. The earrings are used twice in the fourth season. First on Nurbanu Sultan in the fourth episode and then on Hürrem Sultan in the eleventh episode.

The earrings are also worn by Safiye Sultan in the seventh episode of the first season of the spin-off Magnificent Century: Kösem.
