I believe I was summoned? XD

I think, like Princess said, that Dan driving the helm of the direction of the characters is what ultimately affected the outcome of Seddie and the show. On many character-driven sticoms, certain writers write for certain characters throughout the entire series, this appeared to be the case for iCarly as there were a variety of head writers depending on what the episode was and the characters had development that made sense. After season 3, it appears that the group of writers were paired back and Dan had a bigger role in most of the episodes and the development of the characters practically flat-lined.

The head writers that seemed to be the most partial to/wrote Seddie best were:

1. Eric Goldberg & Peter Tibbals

They wrote, iMust Have Locker 239, iTwins and iSaved Your Life. All Seddie centric episodes. These two guys really seemed to understand the dynamic between Sam and Freddie best and how to write both of them, and they seemed to have a vision of where these two characters were going. All three of these episodes tie really well together.

2. Arthur Gradstein

He wrote iHeart Art, iGet Pranky, iHire an Idiot, and iGet Pranky. He also seemed to get the dynamic between the two characters. Even those these aren't the most shippy episodes, every interaction between Sam and Freddie seemed to have a purpose to drive their characters growth and the relationship between them, it wasn't just for laughs or a gag like when Dan does it.
