@ SomeSortaSeddieFreak and Yanks28 :

But is that really the question?

The argument could be made that if Dan Schneider was stringing both the Creddiers and the Seddiers along, the whole time ... keeping both groups of fans anxiously wondering if their ship was going to happen or not ... then neither group was really enjoying a moment in the spotlight during the past four seasons.

We spend so much time arguing over whether Dan Schneider has given more (or is now giving more) to the Creddiers or the Seddiers ... but is that really the question we should be asking? Perhaps we should be asking instead :

Regardless of what Dan Schneider has given to the Seddiers, has he done enough for the Creddiers for us to say that he's done right by his fans?

Churchpants makes a strong argument, I believe, that Dan Schneider has not been treating the Creddiers very well.

Remember ... Dan Schneider has an obligation to us, too. As people have often said, we should be grateful to him for creating a wonderful show that we enjoy.

But Dan Schneider has reason to be grateful to us as well. We choose to watch his show, and the more we watch his show, the more he benefits from getting strong ratings for a show he created. So we are not out of line by saying he has an obligation to treat his fans well.

During the first four seasons ...

Did Dan Schneider do more for the Creddiers than he did for the Seddiers?

Did he do enough for the Creddiers to justify all of the teasing he's done and getting them so emotionally invested in Carly and Freddie's relationship?

You know, it doesn't have to be either / or. You can do both ... You can believe that Creddie has gotten more than Seddie and still believe that Dan Schneider hasn't done enough for the Creddiers to justify keeping them waiting all this time.
