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.

I vote no, even though I think it's totally still going to happen, because it's just too expected. We've had it in pretty much every incarnation but the OT, why not shake things up a little bit this time. That and, well, I'm still rooting for ol' Donnie myself.

*snake* · 05-01-2013, 12:59 PM

Nope! Not at all, it's been done to much,

*Bauer536* · 05-01-2013, 01:18 PM

Now that I think about it, it does sometimes make the series boring. Maybe she should date Casey on and off before she decides she loves him in the end. I don't know. This may be a new take on April's character, but the best thing you have to do is make her stay true to the character she is/was.

I'd like to see an episode where she may choose Donnie, but it may not work out.

*Shark_Blade* · 05-01-2013, 09:37 PM

To be honest, I'm not really fussed about Casey Jones.

I know very little of him during OT, never seen an episode of him. I've never seen a pic of him and OT April together either.

And when I played TMNT 2 arcade game, I thought this was Casey (the Shogun boss), though I did find it weird he's a robot with his head flying about. His weapon seemed like a hockey stick to me lol.

And in 2k3, I didn't like him much. He seemed like a stereotype brainless jock; the way he talks doesn't help either.

In TMNT 2007, he's just there, not having much action. The one in the first movie is okay, not too crazy about it. The Mirage comic have them married but then April left him "when she learned that she is not human and is a product of the Kirby warp pen" (*gasp* look what I've stumbled on wiki! This could be a trait for Nick's April as well..and Kirby being April's father name.. oooh).

Overall, I hope Nick can bring something new and appealing Casey in Season 2.

Maybe April doesn't have to fall for Casey, I'm all for different direction. She could work it out with Donnie.

April and Casey work together in Season 8's, "Cyber Turtles."

She also sees him in Season 5 and 7. Can't remember if they met in Season 3.

*Shark_Blade* · 05-01-2013, 09:44 PM

Nice. I look forward to watch em soon.

*CyberCubed* · 05-01-2013, 09:47 PM

Casey Jones only has 5 episodes in the original toon.

He has two in Season 3, one in Season 5, one in Season 7, and his last in Season 8.

*BabyTurtles* · 05-01-2013, 10:31 PM

I'm sure Nick will make Casey interesting (or more interesting)
I never cared for Karai's loyal servant attitude she had in 2003, but Nick's version totally made her one of my favorites.

jenna · 05-02-2013, 04:31 AM

I love Casey as a character and am excited to see Nick's version of him. To be honest, I could do without the romance with April. It provided some good comedy moments in 2k3 (like Splinter suggesting flowers) but I don't watch TMNT for the romance. Unless it's really subtly handled like in Film 1 - angry flirting culminating in a kiss before the credits roll - I think it would bore me.

Teddy · 05-02-2013, 04:34 AM

You know, some part of me kind of wants her to end up with Donnie this time around. I think I'd prefer that over Casey, anyway.

MikLeo · 05-02-2013, 11:41 AM

I don't know, I would prefer that they don't go there with them. I rather they do something new with them.

I gotta ask....can you REALLY really imagine April as Donnie's Girlfriend?

I can't mainly because April thinks of them as brothers (as she said)
and because.....April.....as his GF.......I just can't imagine them doing cuddle time...and mush.........XD.......

alliance · 05-02-2013, 03:11 PM

f*ck casey jones...

i'd prefer april choosing Don without don really knowing at the end or something

casey doesnt deserve April..

u guys are a bunch romancers nothing more..disgusting predictable bullcrap is what it is, we have something different here and goin the casey way is absolute cringworthy..

Perhaps you could be persuaded...

*JTH* · 05-02-2013, 03:22 PM

Donnie might not get her, but I'm sure rooting for him.

Win one for us shy fellas!

sorry.......I see April and Donnie as a brother and sister type thing.....

I much rather April be single.

Though like I said before, I wouldn't mind Donnie and April as much if Donnie's crush wasn't mentioned every time April entered the room

demonsweat · 05-02-2013, 04:48 PM

I'd prefer the series to focus more on the humor and action aspects, but a little romance isn't so bad I guess. I thought I was going to hate the whole Donnie/April thing, but it's actually not bad - it's just another outlet for more humor, so that's cool. She's never going to return his affections though.

Spoiler:

I guess I don't really care one way or another if April and Casey get together, so long as they don't focus on it too much. If the age difference is true though, it ain't gonna happen. She might crush on him but it's got to stop there or the censors will lose their minds.

DonatelloNinja82 · 05-02-2013, 07:25 PM

I cannot make a judgement until I see his personality on this show...but the Donnie/April moments on this show are just adorable! "My sweet princess is alright!" I wouldnt want it to be a major plot point, though. Moments here and there for comedy are nice, but nothing more.

*Chris* · 05-03-2013, 08:25 PM

I'm good either way. I like seeing them together but it's not essential. It'll be fun to see what Nick comes up with. They haven't gone wrong so far so I'm sure we're in safe hands.
