User blog comment:FallinqForYouhx3/Freddie going back and forth between Sam and Carly would not please me/@comment-4184884-20110928161939

Completely agree. Even if we're to buy that Carly would "suddenly" discover her feelings for Freddie or just simply feel randomly inclined to take him back, who is to say that Freddie would reciprocate?

And do those who support this idea, not realzie why it would be such a terrible reflection of his character if he did reciprocate and date Carly again?

He told Sam he loved her. And not that "because I love her" followed by a laugh track that used to happen with Carly.

He said, "I love you" and it's rather clear it was meant to be taken seriously...and romantically. Freddie going back to Carly would cheapen everything he apparently felt for Sam and I would hope that Sam as a character would have enough of a back bone to not let him coming running back to her after he dated Carly...again.

If he loves her, he wouldn't do that to her.

I wouldn't be surprised if maybe Dan at some point throws in another minor, 1 episode love interest for Sam or Freddie but I'd only see it being used as a catalyst for jealousy and I can't see it being Carly.

Those "I love you's" were game changers. If they'd been left out, there could be room for doubt. There could be room for some questioning of the extent and strength of their feelings...if you really felt so inclined. But they said I love you and they meant it as "I am in love with you."

Any relationship with Carly after that would completely ruin the dynamics of the trio and reflect horribly on Freddie, Carly, and Sam's characters.
