You're welcome as always!
She was... Constantly.
But, me being at such a young age at that time, felt that the girl should always have to be rescued by her love interest or hero. Sometimes, even now, I still like that scenario. Hmm.. Quite sad really... Lol! I'm just a sucker for romance and heroes saving the girl, I guess. 
I also like that the latest ones that were given character- coming more to life with personalities, issues in every day life- making them seem a bit more realistic to the viewer.
I will admit, that I did miss April being a news reporter terribly.
Have you seen the latest TMNT series on "Nick"? I absolutely love it!

Yes, I am enjoying the first season of the Nick toon thus far, and it sure is full of plot twists!
The Fred Wolf cartoon series is still my favorite "universe" for the TMNT... well, that and the old toyline and the Archie comics. I just love the classic look for all the characters.
And I don't think there's anything wrong with female (or male) characters needing a rescue every now and then. Sometimes we all find ourselves in over our heads and need a little help from our friends. Fortunately, for old reporter April, she may not have always used the wisest judgment in snooping around the bad guys but always she had four loyal green friends to call on when she found herself in a tight spot!
My biggest problem with the 4Kids cartoon incarnation of April is that she rarely had any significant role in the Turtles' adventures after the first handful of episodes (similar to her Mirage Comics counterpart). She may not have played the role of damsel-in-distress in that series, but she spent most of her time trying to sell antiques than having adventures (with some noticeable exceptions). The neat thing about Reporter April was that she was usually the character who kicked off the episode's plot; she would be the first to find out where the bad guys were hiding out and then she'd call in the turtles since they rarely went on crime patrols of their own initiative. Without April the Turtles would have just been lazy couch potatoes in their Lair!
