Egyptian actress Dalia Bihairi has confirmed that filming on In the Blink of an Eye will finish in four days. The series is due to be aired in mid-January on MBC Egypt. She explained that filming on the series had stopped because of the demonstrations in Tahrir Square and at the Federal Palace, noting that some of the scenes required outdoor shooting were near-impossible under the circumstances in Egypt. The series revolves around a girl called Nabila Angham who has been raised in an orphanage in Minya and meets with Fatma (played by Bihairi). The young orphan girls get separated but meet again in college and their friendship is given a second chance.
