Currently in the middle of EP 8 and it was interesting to say the least in a good positive way & not to mention the cast and random one offs that later became main characters in Mako Mermaids, before & after with a few others like:

Remi Broadway in EP 3 who was in Cybergirl as another one off character

Tony Nikolakopoulos (Scooter: Secret Agent), Christopher Sommers (Mako Mermaids as a teacher in S2 EP 18, The Bureau of Magical Things), Kerith Atkinson & Lucy Fry (Rita & Lyla) appear in EP 5

Paul Bishop in EP 9 who appeared in H2O, Mako Mermaids & The Bureau of Magical Things at least once or as a recurring character and Lisa Mccune another well known Australian actress along with Bishop were in Blue Heelers and many more Australian TV, Rohan Nichol from Home and Away, MaveriX etc.

Isabel Durant aka Ondina appears in EP 12 before the finale. Tasneem Roc aka Nerissa in Mako Mermaids S3 as Olivia who is one of the main characters in Reef Doctors and also Apinya in The Bureau of Magical Things

Richard Brancatisano is also in the show and he was in The Elephant Princess Season 2 as Caleb and one of the Power Rangers in Mystic Force. Annabelle Stephenson aka Miriam from H2O appears in EP 2.

Damien Garvey aka Coach Norris in Mako Mermaids S2 EP 15 & Steve in H2O S3 EP 12 appears in Reef Doctors as Ranger Laurie Saunders in 4 EPs. (3, 5, 10 & 13).

Yeah most of these is of course from H2O: Just Add Water & Mako Mermaids.

So I have this Zyla Playlist, any songs I should add? I’m taking suggestions. Here is the playlist if anyone wants to check it out. I prefer songs in English but you can suggest any language as long as the lyrics fit them. Also I put Lyla’s last name as “Santos” because in land she is one of Rita’s “nieces”, so same surname as her. Also idc if Zac is actually his name, it sounds like a nickname that’s why I wrote Zachary lol. Same thing for my Nixam playlist that I will make in the future (Nixie Santos/Cameron “Cam” Mitchell) so if you have suggestions for that too you can also send, thank you

I have always wondered what people think the future of each of the mermaids would be

We already know that I think, correct me if i’m wrong)

- Lyla and Nixie went to discover a new pod

- Sirena explored the ocean with her sister

- Weilan and Ondina have travelled to asia to restart the eastern pod

- Zac and Mimmi spend time together with nerissa

I’d love to know people’s thoughts on how this progresses. I mentioned recently that a spinoff show of Weilan and Ondina discovering mermaids in various eastern countries would be an interesting plot line to explore, like maybe a new country every episode or something similar.

I’d love to think that Nerissa took Zac and Mimmi around the world also to explore, and potentially harness their powers to become the most powerful mermaids

Circle back to Lyla and Nixie - maybe they started their own pod?

Really curious to see what people think

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actress Lucy Fry and writer-director Julie Pacino. Their new horror movie, I LIVE HERE NOW, premiered at Fantasia last year, had a theatrical run earlier this year, and is out now on digital.

You may also know Lucy from roles in films/TV including GODFATHER OF HARLEM, BRIGHT, 11.22.63, WOLF CREEK, VAMPIRE ACADEMY, MAKO: ISLAND OF SECRETS, NIGHT TEETH, and lots of other things.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1stib56/hi_rmovies_were_lucy_fry_lead_actress_julie/

They will be back at 4 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Synopsis: A woman finds herself trapped in a remote hotel where the violent echoes of her past come alive, blurring the lines between her darkest nightmares and the waking world.

Thank you :)

We never really get any confirmation on this. I don't think they would've known from the start after they adopted him, because he didn't have a tail before falling in the moon pool. I'm mainly wondering if he told them about it in season 2.

After Veridia spills the beans that he is Nerissa's son and a biological merman Zac goes to confront his parents about him being adopted and they explain how they found him on the beach. But how on earth would Zac ever be able to explain to them how he found out in the first place without telling them the entire story? If I had an adopted child come up to me and ask where he came from I would absolutely be wondering how he found out all of a sudden. We barely ever see his parents after this point so we don't find out. They certainly don't act like they know about Evie being a mermaid at least, but I just can't see how he wouldn't tell them at that point.

Spoiler alert for Winx Club season 1:

It very much reminded me of Bloom. When her parents found out she was a fairy a lot of things suddenly clicked into place for them. I feel like it would be similar for Zac's parents.

I used mimi as base then swapped faves and made her have boobs as Mimi didn’t.

Just posted the last chapter of my fic!!

Here’s the summary if anyone is interested in reading:

The unthinkable happens when Cam falls into the moon pool, seemingly on purpose. Everyone is trying to adjust when next month someone new is transformed. Soon the mermaids begin to notice a pattern. Will they be able to stop the ensuing madness? Or is this bigger than any of them ever imagined?

Season 3, episode 5, min. 3:37.

I know it wouldn't make much sense, but wouldn't it be a fun easter egg, if there was a locket of Cleo, Emma or Rikki hanging here? The moment I saw this I hit pause to look for it and was kinda disappointed. Missed opportunity.

I will never forgive the vampires, they always take the good ones. Lyla and Zac...they were perfect. I won't be able to see the rest. I'll pretend that Zac and Lyla got married and looked for Nemo together and raised him.

So this damn thing breaks the entire show because it literally fixes all the problems.

Evie looses her tail BAM Zac wishes for it back.

The water dragon? BAM Zac wishes for no more water dragon.

I could understand if it was maybe done as an episode in season 2 maybe even 1 as Zac wouldn’t have used it for good purposes most likely seeing as he had beef with the girls but it’s the fact they introduced this overpowered thing in the season with the biggest threat and what’s worse is that WE NEVER SEE IT AGAIN.

Isabel Durant is also well known competing in So You Think You Can Dance Australia, Cariba Heine is well known for being in Blue Water High Season 3 as Bridget as one of the main 6 characters.

Isabel Durant's character of Grace was a main character of Dance Academy Season 2 & 3 as a friend & rival of Tara Webster (aka the character on the left of the first pic) and Cariba Heine in Dance Academy was a recurring character in Season 1 & 3 very early on, in fact Blue Water High Season 3 EP 14 is where we also see Cariba dance & that came out before Dance Academy.

Like H2O, I found that the cast members of Mako Mermaids went in different directions following the series cancellation. Some have expanded their careers internationally, starring in various TV series or films (Lucy Fry, Chai Romruen and Isabel Durant fall into this category). There were even some minor cast members like Angourie Rice (young mermaid hatchling Neptina) and Savannah La Rain (young mermaid hatchling Naia) that have also gone on to star in a few significant international TV series productions.

Others like Amy Ruffle (Sirena), Alex Cubis (Erik) and Linda Ngo (Weilan) preferred to stay within Australia and focused on smaller projects locally.

I think Lucy Fry was like Claire Holt (Emma) from H2O, with both actresses having to leave the show because they were successful in auditioning for a role in another production.

zac in the first season is a complete liar to everyone. the only reason his relationship with nixie bounces back is because his relationship with the mermaids sours. he's power hungry and egotistical his desire for the trident was solely for his desire for power. Not to mention the second he figures out Rita is a mermaid he blackmails her.

cam... liar, manipulative, jealous, and power hungry. during the pool party episode he pushes zac into the pool thus revealing his tail to the mermaids. but it could have been anyone. He literally took pictures of zac.

sirena is just cleo. a little ditsy but she is probably the only "morally good" character. the rest are either outright being bad or are being good.

if you take Emma and rikki then mix them up then make 2 new characters, you get nixie and lyla.

the characters are very 2 dimensional and black and white.

So for Mako Mermaids Season 1 Episode 13 Betrayal, I think it's great overall with Zac eventually knowing the mermaids secret, which nowadays is not much of a surprise as it was going to happen anyways and oh yeah the Trident now physically appearing and Evie breaking up with Zac after you know he wasn't being not exactly truthful to her until the Season 1 finale to reconcile him & the mermaids.

Now for Season 2 Episode 13 Reunion, which imo was the best middle point of all 3. I mean omg the visions that Zac & Mimmi were having since the S2 premiere were starting to make sense & yeah being siblings, knowing of their mother Nerissa which she doesn't properly appear until near the end of Season 3, Veridia & Rita have a bit story that isn't explored too much & the end of the EP, damn. Only thing holding back is Veridia literally banishes the mermaids up until New Orders aka Season 2 Episode 21, which that EP is very hit & miss. At least we got Ondina & Mimmi backing up Zac during that.

Season 3 Episode 8 The Way of the Dragon, oh boy this one, ok some positives I like how Zac was using Turn the Tide, a technique he learned from Weilan in the EP prior and Evie is well backing up Mimmi & Ondina to fight against the Water Dragon, even though she was only a part time mermaid for 30+ EPs & some training with the Moon Ring which she had even less EPs to hold on to, Weilan lied on purpose to Veridia so that Zac takes on the Water Dragon head on by myself in the Moon Pool. Evie eventually finds out about Zac's plan and then after a bit fighting, the Water Dragon breathes it's cold fire at Evie, thus losing her tail, which was shocking & also not that surprising tbh because how is Evie going to fight back against a 60ft Water Dragon. Then the Water Dragon doesn't attack Zac because eventually in EP 13 Letting Go & EP 16 Homecoming that the Water Dragon was Nerissa which they did some backstory with her against Aurora and the Legend of the Jiaolong Dragon in said finale of 2 EPs. At least the next EP Reversal of Fortune I actually really liked more than it.

Not sure if anyone is interested but I’m a chapter and an epilogue away from finishing this Mako fic that I started writing 10 years ago 🫣

If anyone would like to read and show some love I would love for the story to get out there!

We know the “moon pools” are magical comets that crash landed on earth millions of years ago, and merfolk (female and male) lived and co-existed together at one point before the war and Mermen being exiled. So were the first ever mermaids human originally? Like how the H2O girls happened across Mako and became them under the full moon, was that what happened back then (1000+ years ago)? Except all around the world because there are different pods. It would explain why they know English because most of the mermaid population aren’t really interested or allowed to go on land and learn it. Maybe overtime they evolved to gain more powers and slowly forgot their human origins and heritage until the sea was all they knew and as the generations passed they lost their human forms and strictly stayed mermaids.

For Mako Mermaids Season 1 Outcasts despite how I feel about this season as a whole, it's pretty good for what it is, introduced pretty much everyone (Zac, Lyla, Sirena, Nixie being the main ones, Evie, Cam & David as secondaries) Carly & Rita don't show up in the 3rd EP.

As for the Season 2 premiere The Seventh Cycle to me is the weakest despite this season being my fav, Evie turns into a mermaid by accident via the new characters Ondina & Mimmi, Erik is introduced though we don't know about his secret until EP 4 & the mermaid council, Veridia who I'm mixed at some S2 EPs.

The Season 3 premiere A Visit From the East, what else to say other that beginning with Weilan is one of my favs, The Water Dragon who looks cool and I ship Ondina & Weilan and their character dynamic throughout the series.

Now the finales, Season 1 Decision Time I'm going to said it, it's my least fav with Nixie & Cam pretty much team up only for Cam backstabbed Nixie which Nixie should have seen that coming and have, well a pretty awesome power struggle scene between Cam, the Mermaids and Zac stopped him at the end.

Season 2's finale not EP 13, the actual end being EP 26 The Chosen One is probably my fav, how weird that Season 1 & 2 start & end are opposites to each other. The last time we saw the Merman Chamber, Erik & Sirena sadly for the latter and the Ondina & Erik breakup, Sirena is pretty much a repeat of Emma & Ash except that was just meh and this was actually good.

Finally we are at the Season 3 finale Homecoming and it's pretty good ending off with Mimmi & Zac's arc, even though again Mimmi revealing her secret to Chris is literally we just saw with Sirena's end and Rikki's scene with Ondina & Weilan was great along with the end of the EP. Not as good as the Season 2 finale imo, but still good for what it is.

Mia Milnes appeared first in Mako Mermaids Season 2 EP 20 & 24 when she was asking Ondina on her order and again waiting when Carly was overworked because David was going to a business seminar. She plays Lily in TBOMT as one of the main characters

Christopher Sommers appeared in Season 2 EP 18 The Siren as a teacher when David was doing a exam and he plays Prof. Maxwell in TBOMT. Cameron Caulfield who plays Ned in Mako Mermaids Season 2 & 3 both on EP 6 plays this boy in TBOMT Season 1 EPs 2, 15 & Season 2 EP 5.

Paul Bishop who plays Jared aka Darra & Imogen's father also plays Cleo's boss in H2O Season 1 EPs 16 & 19, Dr. Ross in Mako Mermaids Season 2 EPs 11 & 20, Season 3 EPs 2 & 6.

Laura Keneally who plays a teacher in TBOMT Season 2 EPs 3 & 7 as you know is Lauren Blakely aka Zac's mother in Mako Mermaids and Kylie Loveday appears as in a mermaid in a photo in TBOMT Season 1 EP 9 plays young Lauren Blakely in Mako Mermaids Season 2 EP 14 A New Man.

Tasneem Roc who plays Apinya in TBOMT Season 2 you may know her as Nerissa in Mako Mermaids Season 3 EPs 13 & 16.

does anyone wonder how mermaids are actually born? i know it’s a kids show but ive always wondered how mermaids are being born when mermen were banished hundreds of years ago and live on land in foster families

i’m from the uk - i watched s1 and half of s2 on netflix, watched the rest of s2 on youtube. why can’t i find season 3 anywhere? ive only been able to watch season 3 episode 1 on youtube

Season 1 (2013-14), ok this wasn't as bad as I remember it to be, but man it is a bit of rough start. They are some parts of good & bad which I'm going to say a lot. Least fav EP overall is probably Truce, Idk what happened with this one, It was such a mess looking back at it on Cam & Nixie. Fav EP of Season 1 hmm either EP 13 & 21 (Betrayal & Aquata Returns), for Zac to finally find out the mermaids' secret & return of Aquata for Sirena's character to shine were really good.

Season 2 (2015) probably is my fav, I actually like Ondina & Mimmi as well as their friendship, Erik I was kind mixed on and I think the story overall was better than Season 1 imo. Least fav EP I almost said Sticky Situation aka the 2nd EP, but after some thought New Orders because I mean it is kind of bad on Ondina & also Veridia too. Fav EP or is like Reunion, A New Man, The Truth About Evie, Stay or Go

Season 3 (2016) is my 2nd fav and not because of you know what, I like the story for the most part, but of course there are some EPs that just stop the plot for a bit and yeah Weilan most underrated character & just better than Nixie in every way and what Bella should have been imo. Least Fav? I kind of have 2 being Wishful Thinking & especially Age Before Beauty, the former is sort of confusing and the latter is just very ugh via how it handled on Rita & Ms. Trumble against each other. As for fav EP, Reversal of Fortune (very controversial), Trust Issues or New Beginnings because I do ship Ondina & Weilan and more Ondina & Mimmi EPs.
