You bring up a good point Venus de Leo. Yes, Casey coming onto the show will effect the relationship between April and Donnie.

I think Casey may be a love interest for April for a time, and April may make a few excuses to justify why she should be with Casey. Some examples are that she is eventually going to want to get married and have children, and she can't live the rest of life living in the sewers.

Donnie has in many incarnations been a dear friend to April, espessally in the 2003 version  where both Donnie and April had a close but plationic relationship.

The good sides to a relationship with Donatello is does care about April's thoughts and feelings. He can never lie to her, all she needs to do is look him in the eyes to judge his sincerity. He makes promises to help reunite her with her father and would do everything in his power to make sure that happens (Even though the task seems impossible).

The downside being another speacies he is physically unable to have a consumate relationship with April. (I.e. If they want children they would have to adopt more then likely)  And also being a mutant turtle, Donnie will not be able to live on the surface because humans won't understand him because of what he his. Apirl is practically part of the family already.

Casey in the previous incarnations has been good hearted as well. He's good friends with each of the turtles (particularly Raph). And yes he's been the main love interest for April and even gets married to her in a couple of incarnations.

Good sides to their relationship is April would be able to live a quote unquote normal human life (Minus the fact they are friends and psudo family members with four mutant turtles.) He cares deeply for April and would move heaven and earth to protect her.

Downsides to Casey he sometimes can be possessive, insencitive, lug-headed, overly protective and says or does things he doesn't really mean.

The out come can go either way. In most incarnations April was too old to be a love interest for the turtles so there was no competition between her and Casey. I know she had her moments in the 87 incarnations, but mostly the turtles see April as a big sister figure and friend. The fact April is a teenager in this incarnation adds potental with having a turtle as a love interest.

This could have a number of different results both good and bad.

Good being that that they are able to resolve the matter peacefully with one suitor standing down and letting the other have Aprils heart. Or April states her choice and is still able to keep the other on friendly terms.

Bad is that the result will be battle for April which could end up with someone seriously getting hurt.
