It's good that it was cut. This way, Judith Hoag still gets paid (we all want that) yet she still manages to dodge the bullet of embarrassment of actually appearing in the finished film.

To really sell it she should have winked at the camera after she said that under a sign saying in caps "PLEASE LOVE THIS MOVIE".

Stephen Amell and Megan Fox always play Stephen Amell and Megan Fox. They've never really had anything you could call "range". They're fine models, but actors? Not so much.

I still have no idea why Amell was ever cast to play characters with dynamic personalities like Ollie Queen and Casey Jones. He has exactly none of that, and doesn't seem like he's especially capable of faking it. Aside from being a pretty-blandly good-looking guy that a lot of people are attracted to, I really don't get his appeal as an actor at all.

It's a pretty good hint at the general demeanor and 'depth' of "April" and "Casey" in this film, yes. They never exactly get real deep. At all. Pretty much as deep as an almost dried puddle. The Turtles is where any emotional depth is. (Which I don't mind so much as I prefer it's with them... but most of the humans are kind of dull.)
