With “Aryana”s success, Ella assured the viewers that the next episodes will be more endearing, especially to her fellow teenagers. She shared, “Now that Aryana enrolls in a new school, kids can relate with her everyday experiences since everybody will be back to school soon and everything about school will be back too–classroom routines, curricular activties, campus crushes, friends, and even enemies.”

But if there is anything that Ella is proud about their show, it is the good example that her character Aryana sets among her fellow teenagers. “I love Aryana because she loves her family so much. She has a lot of dreams for them and she truly wants to give them a better life, especially her mommy,” said Ella. “Like Aryana, I also want to help my family. Hopefully, Aryana’s story can inspire other tweens to do just the same.”

Meanwhile, continue to follow the magical ‘tail’ of “Aryana” as she finally gets to meet her stepsister Megan (Michelle Vito). Will this encounter mark the beginning of Aryana’s reunion with her father Victor (Tonton Gutierrez)? Can Ofelia (Pokwang) make a way to break the curse that will transform Aryana into a mermaid?
