I knew someone was going to mention his other shows and I wanted to edit my post to comment on that but I'm on mobile.

The thing to remember is that iCarly's seddie and creddie were completely unique cases.

I agree that creddie was initially set up to be the choey of the show, as I mentioned, but the difference is that Choey was never played for laughs and that there was never any internal competition or rival. It was always external characters coming between them, unlike creddie that had a main character as a part of the rival ship. This made a huge difference in how Dan and co had to handle the ships. With Choey, you always rooted for them. There was no other option. With creddie, they had a rival that was just as loved by fans and just as important to the show. Their opposing ship wasn't disposable like Choey's always were.

With Jindy, again there was no main character based rival ship. Josh and Mindy were the only real choice and everyone knew that.

Victorious dealt with a love triangle involving main characters, but it was different from iCarly in that the kids were older and the show started with an established relationship. For all the ship teasing Dan did with Bori and Jori, Bade was the established relationship and that wasn't set up to change.

I agree with you that creddie started out as the plan, but that chemistry, fandom, and changing writers derailed that. I just disagree with the notion that Dan always intended to solve the ships. I think seddie and creddie were unique for Dan and I believe that he found himself in a place where all three main characters were involved and fans were invested in each of the ships. He didn't have a clear cut winner like he did with all of his other shows. So he didn't solve it. He toyed with both, one far more than the other, but I don't think he planned to have one final ship. I think that once seddie became a major player and creddie as choey died, his plan (if he had one) was to inevitably bring things back to status quo and keep them all seperate (figuratively and literally in the case of iGoodbye).
