@ Slicknickshady :

Well, this is just my view on it, but when Dan Schneider said, "Could be," I actually took that as a yes.

Sure, technically, it's a maybe, but I honestly don't think that Dan Schneider would toss out a tease like that if he knew it wasn't going to happen.

If Dan Schneider wasn't planning to put them into a relationship, I would expect him to say something longer and more neutral, like "We're not leaving out any possibilities. Right now, I'm doing my best to take the storyline in the direction that it seems to want to go."

You know, the usual noncommittal stuff that writers say when they need to cover themselves. But the teasing "Could be" sounds to me very much like something he wouldn't say unless he knew that he wouldn't be disappointing the people who wanted to see it happen.

Then, again ... If somebody had asked Dan Schneider if Carly and Freddie were going to date each other during the third season, I could actually see him saying the same thing. Because the answer actually was yes there, too.

I'm still going back to the thing about Nickelodeon's bad habit of airing episodes out of order, which is why I still have doubts that a relationship between ANY of the characters lasting more than one episode will happen.
