Rikki will be in next season!
While unfortunately Sirena won't be returning it has been announced that Cariba Heine (Rikki from H2O) will be guest starring next season!
shareIts been a few years since H2O so I wonder if her character already knows that there's another world of mermaids or will she still be carrying her secret?
Or she might even be part of a pod by now.
If she doesn't know anything about the others and the pod it will be interesting to see her reaction.
Is she actually going to play Rikki though? I always saw the two shows as being in parallel universes, as it doesn't make sense for them to be in the same world, nothing adds up.
shareMy belief is that IF this actually IS Rikki from "H2O" that Jonathan Shiff is simply pandering to the audience in an effort to grab ratings. I'm with you, "Mako Mermaids" and "H2O" occupy parallel universes, there is NOTHING in either series that remotely connects them other than the name "Mako Island".
shareI agree. H2O establishes that mermaids are a scarcity. Mako sets the stage that mermaids are everywhere in hiding. For as valuable as the island apparently is, the two groups SHOULD have encountered each other at least once and more appropriately all the time. Explaining the return of Rikki would be a seriously convoluted task by the writing staff to come up with.
sharethe land entrance that rikki and the rest slid through was my sticking point. best i can come up with is more a hidden events thing. rikki and the rest get their tails and just like zack the pod bugs out and basically quarantines mako, girls graduate and drift off. pod comes back seals the entrance they came through and begins a practice of mount a guard on mako to stop anymore land girls with tails.
nothing concrete just trying too line up the two series
