@Neon that's not it at all, you're reading us wrong. My theory is different. I think Freddie moved on from Carly for a while after iSYL (even as there were still hints of it in Season 4), most evidently after the Adam stuff in iSaFW, which ironically takes place right before iOMG. That's probably when he decided Carly was interested in other guys and must not want to try again with him anymore. Just then of course Sam basically showed her feelings for him, and it came at the right time. But I think after they broke up because of the irreconciable differences and things went back to normal for a short period, he may have realized he still had lingering feelings for Carly. And I still feel the reason he told Sam he loved her was so they wouldn't end badly, because he obviously loves her as a friend no matter what happens to their romantic involvement. They've been through too much to not at least love each other as friends despite their differences, and that's why he told her.

Now I agree with you that the biggest roadblocks in Creddie's way right now, that have been there for a while now, are (a) we still don't know how Carly feels, and there may not be time to reveal them or for a turnaround in her feelings, and (b) the potential for hurting Sam is there. These things need to be neatly delat with, if they even can be, before Creddie can happen.

It could be speculated that Carly's picking a lot of other guys because she's searching for the right one when he's right under her nose, blah blah (though I think it's significant that the last guy she picked was incredibly nerdy, she said she loved nerdy types, and she disliked him when he turned out to not be and was just a creeper), but even as a Creddier I'm not going to make that argument since it's just speculation without grounds right now. I just think that Dan will find a way for whatever he wants to happen, to happen with good writing and in a way that keeps the friendship intact, as right now it doesn't seem either ship can do.

What's needed right now is revelation about everyone's feelings, and development that doesn't make Freddie look like a jerk, Carly look shallow and Sam look like a victim who didn't do anything to deserve this (cmon even if your'e a Seddier you can't possibly be blind to the fact that she could have treated Freddie with a lot more consideration-even if it's her nature to behave that way, because that's not Freddie's nature and they just can't work together if they can't accept each other personalities, because nobody needs to be in a relatinship like that..that's my opinion and I stand by it). Nothing that's known right now can help us really know for sure what's Dan's planned, and already made happen (I keep having to remind myself that the show's already over and done with for him) so all we can do is wait and see.
