An Algerian man has spurned his wife for fantasising about an affair with the star of a Turkish soap opera which has riveted audiences here all summer, the Arab daily Ech-chourrouk reported Saturday. The 40-year-old man reportedly demanded a divorce after his wife confided in a neighbour that she would like to have an affair "if only in her dreams" with Mohannad, hero of the soap "Nour."
The serial, which is dubbed into Arabic and broadcast by the Saudi satellite television MBC, has attracted a huge following, to the extent that Algerian women refuse to leave their television sets after it begins at dinner time, at 7:30 pm. According to the newspaper, the woman in the Sidi Bel Abbes region, 440 kilometres west of Algiers told her neighbour she would like to spend a night with the actor, even in her dreams, because she had fallen in love with him and considered him her ideal man. Her disgruntled spouse found out and immediately demanded a divorce.
The Turkish soap opera, which has had Algerians on the edge of their seats, follows the ups and downs of a couple torn between traditional and modern values. According to the paper, the televison series has already caused several marriage breakdowns in Algeria.
The actor who plays Mohannad, 24-year-old blonde and blue-eyed Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ, has become the idol of Algerian women to the chagrin of their menfolk.

Sorry LIR, I haven´t read that topic because I´m not interested in soaps. The article I noticed because I found that man so ridiculous.
