'I don't know, if he were using a catalyst just to create the drama needed for a Seddie endgame he could have very easily used some other female character, you know? Someone we wouldn't care to see hurt, and who wouldn't alienate part of his fan base in the process. '

See, I could agree with you in theory, but...

Carly isn't going to be "hurt" because she feels nothing but friendship for Freddie. And that's never really changed. Any uncertainty about the ships is happening in Sam's mind and maybe in Freddie's mind. Creddiers think Carly might be hurt (if Dan decides to be a romantic yo-yo writer) because they think she's going to turn her feelings toward Freddie, but I see no evidence for that, and will only change my mind on it when it actually happens. I just don't see it happening. On the other hand, he's already established that Sam would be hurt and upset by Creddie, and Carly worked like the Dickens to make Seddie happen and was happy when it did happen - she went above and beyond the call of duty on that one.

And no matter which ship he ends with, he'll alienate somebody. That can't be helped. If show creators were terribly worried about alienating some fans, they'd never do anything interesting or pair up any character with any other. Even more so in the last episode, when an angry group of fans has no way to voice their displeasure because the show is over.
