@Drenched I disagree that Dan opened these ships up with no intention of resolving them. That's not Dan's style. He was known for ships such as Choey and Jindy before iCarly even existed.

I believe that Dan had the intention of making Creddie the main ship (iCarly's Choey, if you will) right from the pilot. However, three major things happened to derail that. One was, obviously, Jennette and Nathan's stellar chemistry. Two was the overall Seddie fandom phenomenon that developed from watching said chemistry (both onscreen and off). Three was the old writers who also catered to said chemistry and had a seemingly different plan than simply making Creddie the main ship. They toyed with both sides in eps such as iSaved Your Life, iThink they Kissed and iSpeed Date and played just as big a role into making it a rivalry as the fans did.

Two of those three things (the chemistry and the old writers) ceased to exist post-Season 4. With Dan now fully reigning the writing room, there was a clear shift from Seddie to Creddie. It was already evident with the Seddie Arc which, as aforementioned, basically only existed to eliminate the Seddie possibility altogether. Then, we got eps like iStill Psycho, iOpen a Restaurant, iPear Store and, of course, iGoodbye which reinforced Creddie's revival.

I suppose it's possible that he initially wanted to resolve the triangle but simply ran out of time--whether or not he was actually trying to fulfill a childhood fantasy is anyone's guess but all the standard Dan tropes are there.

@Sass and @Passionate always did have a lot to say on this topic. I summon you! ^^
