I also hope Miwa gets more screen time in the show from now on, becuase I'm honestly getting tired of Nick dragging it out.

By the way, I honestly don't really care about the romance of the show. It's just really messed up at this point anyway.

I'm glad someone understands. I could understand April having to deal with Donnatello and Casey, but the other ideas for romance were getting a bit weird. Karai and Leo for one thing were a bit unlikely seeing as how Karai/Miwa has finally begun to emerge as her own character who deserves more "Main Character" time in a few episodes. Plus, Leo's love interest should be someone else who isn't a COMPLETE polar opposite. Also, some seemed to enjoy Mikey & Renet as a couple, but I have to say, she's too old for him and the idea that an adult woman would go on a date with a 15 year old turtle is, well, unsettling, it sounds like fans want her to be a pedophile or something. Raph & Mona Lisa however are a couple I could support, cute, rageful, and strange, they are amazing and they bring out a smile I haven't had for a TMNT couple in a long time.

I prefer a better plot when it comes to the characters and their romances, and I think a few women characters deserve to have their own time in the spotlight like most male characters, like for instance, Shinigami (and possible future female villains) should have as much of a reputation and single one-soldier-army as the males (Rahzar, Bebop, Tiger Claw, and Rocksteady).

Finally, it's just an idea or opinion, but April is great on her own or when working with the team, and I find myself enjoying the fact that Leonardo and her share something of a best friand and brother and sister bond. It would be interesting to see a 'romance' angle between April and Leo, but for now, the duo are great the way they are currently. i agree with leo having someone else, raph and mona were just for the fans and it comepletely punked whipped him. mona is literally the man in that relationship and it makes no sense since he had a deeper connection with slash. i hate when they just throw love interests in there. OK i get it they're teenage boys with overactive hormones you don't have to shove it in my face. this is teenage NINJA turtles not a soap opera like days of our lives. mikey needs to be single cause the whole renet thing was only put there because the voice actress of renet had been love interests of mikey's voice actor's characters for years and they thought it would be cute. don't throw a love interest in there because everyone else has one it's dumb. mikey made more sense with leatherhead or heck even chris bradford since he's still not over him. if you're going to have mikey with a love interest at least let it develop properly than just poof one it's insulting to female viewers caust that's all you see us as...girls with breasts the turtles can just stare at without recognizing our talents. it's like they're not focusing on the MAIN plot GET SHREDDER instead they're too busy hooking the turtles up on blind dates
