User blog comment:Cartoonprincess/What Would Make The Opposite Ship More Appealing To *You*????/@comment-2032682-20110610165307

Do you mean right now or from the start?

Okay. Well. For Seddie to be more 'appealing'.

From the start: Freddie doesn't have a crush on Carly. Pretty simple. Have their friendship be stronger in iPilot and S1. Somewhere in Season 1 or early Season 2 make it clear that "Creddie" isn't on the agenda ever, by having him come out and say to someone that Carly is like a sister to him. And obviously, no iSYL. iSpeed Date would be fine.

From now? Having Sam actually suffer some consequences for her behaviour towards Freddie in the past, without anyone having to guilt her into it like happened in iKiss. Something that actually changes her behaviour like I had hoped in the past to happen when she saw Carly and Freddie in iSpeed Date being happy without her, because of her poor behaviour towards other people left her alone.

She should start with an un-coerced, actual apology. Sam lies all the time, and most of her 'apologises' and forced and hollow. If she can't apologise for her actions I won't consider Seddie remotely viable. I wouldn't believe Freddie would see Sam in any romantic manner if she can't ask for a level of forgiveness for the way she has treated him. No cop-outs about how hard her life is, about how bad at parenting her mom is, or that ridiculous "That's just the way mama is" jank. Yes, it might be "the way you are" but that doesn't give you the right to do what you do. Plus I don't think she has anywhere near as 'bad' a life as some people on the wikia seem to think, at least not to the point where she can use it as an excuse.

As for Creddie. I believe Carly needs to apologise for how she lead on Freddie by acknowledging his crush, using it against him, but not actually doing anything about it. Freddie needs to apologise for how he acted towards her when he was younger as well, and make it clear he never felt Carly was obligated to like him back and that he values her friendship just as much as he valued their short relationship together.
