Talk:Seddie/@comment-4184884-20120620152645

There's one thing I don't really get about creddie shippers. They always say it'd be okay for Freddie to just change his mind and be in love with Carly "again", even after telling Sam that he loved her. I don't really understand how that's okay though and even more so, I don't understand why Dan would have Freddie tell Sam he loved her (when he really didn't need to because they were breaking up and Sam sure as heck wasn't about to say it unsolicited) only to fall back "in love" with Carly again and end up with her. I know that happens in real life, but this isn't real life. This is a TV show where you're ultimate goal is to tell a good story (and in Dan's case a humorous story). Having Freddie tell Sam he loves her and then running back to Carly and being in love with her adds nothing to the story. In terms of humor it's not funny at all and in terms of good storytelling, it doesn't do either relationship (creddie or seddie) any justice. It makes them both look bad and it damages Freddie's character in the process.

I guess what I'm saying is, if Dan wanted to end things with Creddie, it would have made more sense to never bring Sam into Freddie's love life in the first place and it certainly would have been better to never have Freddie tell Sam he loved her (in a totally non-platonic way). I mean, if Freddie was going to change his mind and love someone else, then he shouldn't have ever said it to Sam in the first place.

A creddie ending would be way more believable if the showed had played out like this:

iSpeed Date happens and then after that, Carly starts to become more open to the idea of being with Freddie (sans iSYL so there's no confusion over whether or not her feelings are just the result of hero worship). Over the seasons the audience watches as she warms up to having feelings for him and the idea of dating him. Sam either isn't written as having feelings for Freddie, or if she is, it's written as a very short one episode fling where no I love you's are exchanged and no real time is invested in it. Oh, and Sam is never shown as being jealous or hurt by the idea of creddie.

But that's not what Dan did. He made Sam and Freddie have this whole long, drawn out dramatic relationship, while creddie was the ship on the back burner.

Dan has written a creddie type of relationship before (think Zoey/Chase). He knows how to write that relationship well and believable, so why would he do it so poorly with Creddie if that was his ultimate goal? It doesn't make sense to me.
