Wow. A lot of stuff going on with this comment. haha

Just to respond to Akirelee: I get what you're saying by reversing it and it's a good point, but as Arch said, I think there are a lot of reasons why that reverse doesn't works so easily. The fact is, "I love you's" were exchanged between Sam and Freddie and their relationship was explored at length with the arc. At least as of now, there has been a depth in exploration of their relationship and it's been treated far more seriously than creddie has been.

Freddie's comment to Carly was one comment that, at least as things stand (which I always feel the need to preface my comments with because with Dan, you never know. Things can change just like that), could be easily explained in a way that actually works in Seddie's favor. A source of drama to add uncertainty to things. Sure, it would have been easier had Dan never brought Carly back into it, but it's not illogical to think that he would for the sake of causing uncertainty/drama with seddie.

I guess my point is, Freddie's comment can be used, as Arch said, to plant seeds of doubt and to create tension. It isn't a end all be all the way something like exchanging "I love you's" is. It isn't an illogical lead to Seddie if Dan is using it the way many seddier's think he is. However, Freddie telling Sam he loved her can never be spun in anyway as being a good thing for Creddie. The two comments are very different and one frankly carries a lot more weight than the other.

It's just not a situation that you can easily reverse like that because the relationships are just so vastly different.

As for why he used Carly, I think because there's his history of a crush and it's a believable source of doubt. Note however, that there's also the situation with Freddie trying to impress that girl in iGet Banded. Even though I doubt it's anything serious, the fact is, Carly doesn't appear to be his sole focus post-Sam…which I think is telling.

And frankly, Dan has used creddie as a catalyst for seddie before. iSpeed Date? Creddie shippers loved it, but even Dan said in his blog in a very nudge nudge wink wink sort of way "What was more important? That Carly and Freddie danced or the look on Sam's face when she saw them together?" Creddiers may love that moment, but Dan was using that to show Sam's feelings for Freddie. iOAR was the same way. Again, creddiers loved Freddie's comment and the insinuation of creddie, but just like the catalyst that was iSpeed Date, Sam was sad. Sam was shown as being hurt and upset by the idea of Carly and Freddie.

My point is, Dan has used creddie as a catalyst before and, considering Sam's reaction in iOAR, it doesn't seem like anything has changed.
