Singling out Donnie as having a crush on April in the Nick show bothered me for some reason. I'm not against the idea per se, but the way it was handled in this show.

In the other versions, it felt like all the turtles hit on her occassionally and/or found her attractive but never felt like anything more than lighthearted fun that both the turtles and april were aware of.

Here, it felt more stalker-ish from Donnie's side and not really funny except for the first few times. If they really wanted to make this part of the show so prominent as it was, I would've preferred it if Casey and April got together and Donnie learns to accept it instead of playing it for laughs.

It would've made for some good character development for both Donatello and Casey Jones, especially the latter who got way too flanderized as the show went on. A shame since I thought Nick Casey Jones had a great design, voice talent and potential.
