Dan will NEVER officially declare a ship dead in dialogue with the fans. It hurts ratings. No show boss in his right mind would ever do that.

If you can seriously look at Carly's behavior and dialogue since iSYL, and Freddie's behavior during the same period, AND everything Dan has said to the fans, and still come to the conclusion that a Carly-Freddie relationship is more likely now than it was two years ago or at the beginning of the show, then I really don't know what to say.

Saying something COULD happen is meaningless. A hundred thousand different things COULD happen. It's not what's possible, but what's probable. Just because Dan has creative freedom doesn't mean any and all outcomes you can think of are equally likely. They're not. The show has a history, and every new thing that happens adjusts the likelihood of future events.

I know all shippers of all kinds deal with their own hopes, and that's great. I'll never criticize anyone for that. But saying something isn't completely impossible doesn't instill me with a lot of confidence that it's going to happen. It's not a compelling argument.
