Casey is also mentioned:

“Casey Jones will show up but in the second season. I don’t want to give it away too much. We take our time introducing him. He will be introduced not just to the turtles and April at the same time, but to each of those two parties separately. It has something to do with high school. Maybe he got pulled back a couple of times. He’s a little closer to age in April.”

the one component we really wanted to bring to the show is teenage,” Nieli said. “In all their other iterations it was either glanced over or betrayed. The last series they were really muscular and I think in their ‘20s.

This guy gets it.

Cool! good to hear that that casey will show up. I can imagine casey knowing april from school, then meeting the turtles in the lair somehow, then april comes in and the turtles are like "hi April!" and casey says "you know her?" and then april says "you know him?" LOL that would make for a funny scene

[Mr.Turtle]

Agreed. Ciro seems to be totally on point.

So, like, if it was shown to the Television Critics Association, do they have any, you know, critiques available?

True, but the fact that Casey will be introduced in Season 2 is old news.

I'll collect some of what was tweeted.

My favorite critic Tim Goodman tweeted this:

"Went to refill coffee and found a bunch of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the back. In costume. As turtles. Yay coffee! "

"MTV session ends. Nickelodeon up next. The turtles are being herded. They can't really see so they're being helped down stairs. Not badass. "

"The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are coming up. It has a hip hop theme. That's all I've got. "

"Nick exec says April has secret power, then Mae Whitman asks if she can say, Nick exec says no. Awesome, thanks for coming."

"Someone just asked about how much pizza will be in show and what everyone's favorite topping is. Hopefully not a TCA member. Lord help us. "

And IMDb TV wrote this:

"A sign #TCAs12 is nearly done: ScottBaio is here. So are the TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles. But they could be hallucinations. Hard to say.#Day14"

"Nickelodeon is paneling #TeenageMutant NinjaTurtles. Style described as "CG meets anime." Debuts Sept. 29 as a 1hr. special. #TCAs12"

" #TMNT panel: JasonBiggs, SeanAstin, RobPaulsen (who was in the original), GregCipes, and MaeWhitman, as April, now a 16-year-old. #TCAs12 "

"Paulsen is thrilled about the stuff that the new show's animators can do that they couldn't do in 1987. Biggs: 'What was 1987 like?' #TCAs12"

" #TMNT''s Whitman teases that there's something very special about young non-reporter April. #TCAs12 "

And the last tweet-collection I'll be doing is from TV Guide

"In the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, April is 16 and no longer a journalist #TCAS12 #TMNT"

""My son said I'm going to be the answer to a Jeopardy question," says Rob Paulsen, who voices Donatello and also voiced original #TMNT show "

" #TMNT EP calls the success of the original animated series "lightening in a bottle," hopes to recapture that #TCAS12 "

" #TMNT EP on making April young: "The one component we really wanted to bring to the show was teenage," says that was betrayed before #TCAS12 "

"April now also loves pizza, says voice actress Mae Whitman. She also teases a "cool thing" coming up for her character. #TMNT #TCAS12"

"Sean Astin is just off of a really young, high-pitched animated series. Says voicing Raphael on new #TMNT is "just easier to do" #TCAS12"

"Jason Biggs says he's using his own voice for #TMNT's Leonardo. "All of these voices compliment each other incredibly well." #TCAS12"

" #TMNT EP on violence: "If it ever goes to a place that's excessive, you have to make sure that its warranted." They're always heroes #TCAS12 "

"Mae Whitman likes pineapple and jalapeno on her pizza #FTW #TMNT #TCAS12"

"In the first episode of the new #TMNT, the turtles discover pizza for the first time #TCAS12"

So, there's some new (I think?) info in there

Sound be an interesting reveal. Let's just hope she's not an Utrom masquerading as a human.

Thanks for the collection, PAAATE.

uhhh....why????

[Raph's Girl]

Considering that April's weopon is a computer I think her power has something to do with electronics.

Because it's something they don't want spelled out until the series airs...

[TurtleTitan97]

Wasn't it mention from April's bio that was leaked from the Nick site before it was finished that she was sensetive to the same universal vibrations as Splinter?

[Moonlight1102]

As long as April isn't another Sari Sumdac, I'll be okay.

Interesting. I'll have to see how this plays out since I have no idea what that even means.

[Genesis]

In all their other iterations, the ninja component is what has truly been either glanced over or betrayed. They've said they want to return to that being a central point of the show, but I'll reserve my doubts.

No, no, I mean that because of the secret power
