* AngstWhatAngst: Cleo and Kim's parents divorce offscreen between season one and two. It's briefly mentioned, and neither the girls nor their father show any emotional turmoil at all. What's more is that while a couple of episodes do address it, it's entirely from Cleo's perspective. Kim doesn't seem bothered at all by the fact that her mother just up and left. Their father doesn't seem to be affected by losing his wife at all. And the mother is never seen again, yet the issue is glossed over.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Rikki has always been the most popular of the three leads - likely due to her being a DeadpanSnarker and getting a lot of the best lines.

* TestosteroneBrigade: Mostly from season 2 onwards when all the leads got a FanServicePack. As the show is Australian and features stunningly beautiful lead actresses, there are frequent episodes that get them into bikinis, midriff tops, hot pants and short skirts. The show features a lot of episodes with parties, so there's plenty of reasons for the leads to get all dolled up.

* VanillaProtagonist: Emma is this, compared to the other two. Cleo has a WillTheyOrWontThey romantic teasing with Lewis, as well as having a [[AcrophobicBird fear of water]]. Rikki meanwhile has a mysterious backstory and it's a while before we even meet her family. Plus she too has BelligerentSexualTension and acts {{Tsundere}} towards Zane. Emma however is a well adjusted, straight-A student with a happy home life. Her romance plot gets solved rather quickly and the only real angst on her part is having to quit the swim team when she becomes a mermaid - and that's only in the second episode.

** After Cleo gets fired from her job and Lewis takes the position, Rikki and Emma sabotage Lewis at his job in the hopes of getting ''him'' fired so Cleo can get her job back, which leads to Lewis being the prime suspect in a police investigation.

** Rikki, Emma, and Cleo sabotage a family dinner between Cleo and Charlotte's father in an attempt to drive Lewis and Charlotte apart - never mind that at this point, Lewis was single because ''Cleo turned him down'', and therefore fair game for Charlotte, who at this point has been nothing but a decent person.
