So was Evie right to be worried about Lyla?


Evie was always worried/suspicious that Zac and Lyla had some romantic feelings for each other. It seems like Lyla did (even Nixie said she was "stuck on him") but Zac never really totally returned the feelings.

I guess it just seems like the final episode dismissed all this way too easily. Zac just becomes good friends with all three mermaids and Evie seems to have no problem with this. I guess it won't matter since Lucy Fry won't be coming back for next season but the easy resolution bugs me.

Anybody else think Evie should have been worried?

I think that the times that Lyla would grab his hands (hand holding), Zac should have pulled his hands back and made it clear that it's not appropriate since he's got a girlfriend AND he doesn't feel that way about her (perhaps even explaining that it's a sign of affection/etc in case she doesn't realize what she's doing).

Zac should have made it clear that he's got something going on that they (Lyla and the others) are familiar with but that he doesn't want to discuss just yet and that there is nothing romantic (or otherwise) going on with any of them. In fact, should have even had the other two (Nixie and Sirena) confirm to Evie that there's nothing romantic going on between Zac and Lyla and that what Zac said is correct (they're familiar with something and don't want to discuss it). Make it sound like they are sort of a support group.

There are a lot of things about this show that don't add up. This being one of them. They don't get explained and we just accept it and move on. I hope they fix that with S2. That's why even tho I like the show H2O is still better coz they didn't leave us wondering like this.

The thing that I never got was that Zac told Cam but not Evie which and his not being honest with her feed into her suspicions.

I don't like Evie. Ever since her character was first introduced, and still don't now. Kept hoping Zac would have dumped her. Lyla was so much better.

Yes I did not like her at first but some of it I understood in hindsight. Zac not being honest with her did not help.
