They were quite clear that they're being very deliberate about that. I find this very hard to believe, because the creators of this show have never had any long-term plans for characters or their developments since forever! One other guy on this website says that the creators are just trying to surprise us. Splinter is one of the show's most important characters and he's also a highly-loved character. He's just as important as the turtles are! Killing him off permanently would be like killing off one of the turtles!

This is why I believe Nick is lying!

BTW, did that article in the link you posted really say that one of the faults of Splinter and his character is that he doesn't get much action?! If so, that is just stupid! If he fought in every episode, the turtles would win every time! Splinter is basically the God-mode of this show! There is a reason someone as strong and skilled as Splinter doesn't fight in every episode! Plus, action isn't everything in this show!

Plus, if Splinter is dead for good, who is gonna kill Shredder?! The turtles?! Well, good luck with that! Because we've seen them try to do that several times and they haven't even made him say ow! Considering how OP Shredder is, the only one who can kill him is Splinter! They must train harder then. This is why I want to see Karai reunited with them so badly. She can help them with that. So can all their other friends.
