Yes, but it was one long entertained by the Archie and classic cartoons and in this day and age it's not novel and it's increasingly dated, boring, and limits the storytelling possibilities. To us older audiences, the whole "sons of the silent age" angle from the comics just becomes a depressing notion as we age...as many of us feel like we can relate to these guys never getting lucky because of a condition or a place in society. We want these guys to find hapiness in some form and the idea of that someone being their closest female friend is very appealing and offers more scope in storytelling than pairing them with characters not a lot are familiar with. I can count how many cared for Leo and Radical on one hand for instance, where as far more people prefer Leo with Karai, aka a long-running character who has carried over from comics to film to television.

Eventually, we likely are going to see fully receprecated romances between the Turtles and female characters we know in future shows, movies, and comics and I don't think that would be a bad thing at all. I used to be opposed to it back in the day, but since I've started writing it, I've found it quite endearing.
