Still-surviving- the Syrian storm, actress Amal Arafeh revealed what's on her horizon, coming clean that she is in the process of working on a new TV drama, one that she personally wrote no less, in collaboration with copatriot writer Bilal Shahadat.

According to Sayidaty.net, Amal wrote on her official Twitter account, loosely translated: "The clock is ticking and 'Sayco' will be the working title of my new TV drama co-produced with Bilal Shahadat; P.S. Fingers crossed for us!"

This is not the first time Amal and Bilal work together -- they teamed up behind the screen in drama "Rafit Ayn" (Blink of an Eye). Their new hopeful-hit "Sayco" deals with the problems faced by the average Syrian family, depicting people losing their roots and patriotic spirit. The drama is a call for unity to restore confidence in the Syrian people's dwindling pride for their country.
