Definitely have to agree that Choey was way better set-up and executed than Creddie even if on paper they seem similar. One thing I remember someone wrote really well in a blog here was that you almost have to root for Chase from beginning to end. He does not seem to feel entitled to Zoey's love and he clearly values Zoey as a friend - see Season 3 when he explains dating Rebecca because he doesn't want Zoey to be just some girl he dates, he doesn't want her out of his life. On the other hand, Freddie's crush in the first episode is instantly portrayed as stalkerish and played for laughs (roll laugh track). I did think his crush was cute but not meant to be taken seriously unless he himself took his own feelings seriously and did not make his crush out to be a laughing stock. That is the difference. Any progression in Creddie would need to come from Carly solely and then we question the authenticity of Freddie's feelings similarly to how iSYL played out. Whereas Zoey and Chase have plenty of room to push each other's limits as friends until deciding where they should land.

I guess if we're using the whole Dan's self-insertion theory, Logan would be the Sam of the Chase-Zoey situation as he was the one getting in the way.
