Why was April originally planned to be a blonde in Nick's show?

There is no answer to why she was *originally* planned to be blonde. We can assume they changed her to a red-head because that's how we're used to see April...but where did the original blonde idea come from?

I have to admit, if April stayed with blonde hair she wouldn't seem like April to me. The fact that she's 16 is a change but the red hair makes her look I dunno...more familiar?
