@ Serene Girl : Look, Sis, I know that it bothers you when people overuse phrases like "That's a fact," but get a grip, okay? (Yeah, I know, I'm one to talk, as anybody who has read our brother's "Seddie Domination" blog knows.)

@ TheWheelie24 : I think that the only point that Serene Girl was really trying to make was that we can't know for sure what Carly and Freddie's feelings are for each other. We can speculate and we can form opinions, but there really are no hard facts here.

So unless you're asserting that it's actually impossible for Carly and Freddie to be in love with each other (and it doesn't look like you are), I don't think that there's anything further to be argued. Obviously, some people do in fact believe that Carly and Freddie might have been in love with each other prior to (and after) iSYL, and their views should be respected, even if you don't agree with them.

@ Lotstar :

I wouldn't give up just yet. Dramatic or not, I still think that a love triangle storyline in some form is still a viable possibility. I would go so far as to say that with the way Dan Schneider has been teasing this relentlessly during much of Seasons 3 and 4, it might even be inevitable.

When J. K. Rowling first wrote Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, she crafted it purely as a children's fantasy. Before long, it became clear that the books were drawing readers across just about all demographics, including age groups. And starting with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, it was clear that she was now writing to appeal to a much broader audience.

What I'm thinking here is that iCarly may have started out as a children's show, but it has now acquired a very large audience among older children, teenagers, and even adults. It may never become a Degrassi-style drama, but it is possible that Dan Schneider is now working toward appealing to the broader audience of the show. He may start crafting more mature storylines involving romance between the characters. There's always that possibility.

Yes, I do realize that iCarly is still being broadcast on a children's network, and Dan Schneider has to work within those confines, but if the demographics are there, and the money is coming in, the network may see fit to cut Dan Schneider some more leeway. It is possible.
