Talk:Seddie/@comment-5679407-20121206182033

@Cartoonprincess: You've forced me out of my hiatus, LOL. Dan created Seddie pretty much at the same time as Creddie. He introduced two premises: Freddie has a crush on Carly (Creddie;) and Sam hates Freddie (Seddie.) Both pretty much date back to when all three were in the sixth grade. The only difference between the two was that one was positive (Creddie) and one was negative (Seddie.) It begged the question: why did Sam hate Freddie? It's reasonable to assume that Freddie has a crush on Carly because she's nice and attractive. But it was never really made clear why Sam expressed herself negatively, in particular to Freddie, despite them becoming friends. In iDon't Want to Fight, Dan clearly wanted to give a glimpse into Sam's hatred for Freddie by having Freddie say: "You know they say when a girl constantly rips on a guy, it really just means she has a crush on him." More interestingly, Sam doesn't deny this, she only rejects that Freddie is a "guy."

Neonpink is right in that if Dan was setting up Creddie from the beginning, why not have Carly give Freddie his first kiss, rather than have Sam--the girl he allegedly hates, who also hates him--do it? I also agree with Neonpink in that the unfamiliar territory lied in him creating a love-triangle between three best friends. The problem with the kiss and the subsequent "raising one's arm in victory" in iGoodbye was not that there was no Seddie, but Freddie's inability--and by proxy, Dan's inablity--to commit to either girl. I believe that starting from iRescue Carly, Dan gave up on resolving anything in iCarly, and wishes to use Sam & Cat as continuation to the iCarly story--which is further supported by his recent tweets. This leaves the possibilites open in Sam & Cat but sort of "robs" iCarly of a prominent plotline resolution. That's what bothers me most, since this all started with iCarly.
