Didn't read the article but just throwing in my two cents about my interpenetration of the way things were said at the panel:

New Roles for April and Shredder:
Quote:
Rahman then showed a picture of April O'Neil, describing her as the "leader" of the upper side of the city while Shredder led the underground.

This was said by the moderator, who at times I personally questioned if he even knew anything about Turtles and what he was talking about, nothing was mentioned about anything like this statement by anyone who actually worked on the show so I am personally taking it with a grain of salt. It was funny cause he said this and you could almost hear a collective WTF noise spread across the audience.

April's future?
Quote:
Talking about the show, Nieli and Hastings said their process of picking what stayed from the various "TMNT" animated series, movies and comics was less a weeding out process and more prioritizing what they wanted to use first.
"I haven't discarded anything, we'll get to it when we get to it," Nieli said.
Adding that he loved the spirit of the animated series, Nieli explained that while April went through the most changes it was important to him that she never becomes a, "damsel in distress every week."
"To me, she's the same April," he added. "She will grow up to become the yellow-jumpsuit girl."

He than almost immediately went into saying how much he also loved the Mirage comics version of April and how he can see her almost growing up with the awesome 80's hair she used to have. So I am guessing we are still getting kind of a mish-mash of all the best points of all the April's. At least that's how I saw it.
