Talk:Carly Shay/@comment-5679407-20130530054338

In the iCarly pilot, when Freddie first demonstrates his crush on Carly, Carly flats out reject his romantic advances, and simply rebuffs him by saying she likes him just as a friend. In iSaved Your Life, after a romance between Freddie and Carly was explored, it's revealed that Carly's attraction to Freddie was rooted in gratitude. In the end, they decided to "just be friends." In the final episode of the series, after Carly initiates a kiss with Freddie, Dan felt the need to provide an explanation, after the fact, that essentially stated that they're "just friends." Of course there was some placating to disgruntled fans, but it at least shows that in Dan's mind, Carly and Freddie are just friends.

I think the hope among some fans--Creddie fans--is that when Freddie does make his eventual reprisal in Sam & Cat, it will be to confirm that he's together with Carly. Now if the head writer and show's creator declares that the events of the finale was not a precursor to a relationship between Carly and Freddie, then how is Freddie making an appearance in Sam & Cat in the capacity of discussing his "new found relationship" with Carly, likely? Or even probable for that matter? I think many Creddie fans will be disappointed by Dan's actions in Sam & Cat, especially since Sam is now the protagonist and she has her own storyline with Freddie. Therefore, I believe that Freddie's reprisal will serve a storyline that involves him and Sam, not him and Carly. Make of that what you will.

Let me just say that I never wanted Sam and Freddie to "get back together." Even when I first joined the wiki and in a few of my early blogs and fictions, I never pictured Sam and Freddie "happily ever after." I was hoping for something bittersweet. But 'dems be the brakes as Dan ended iCarly the way he wanted. I don't think Dan has given up on Seddie--quite the opposite actually--and will continue to ride the coat-tails of the Seddie fandom by exploiting the "will-they-won't-they" element in their relationship. And I'm not up for being pimped out for expedient plotlines. Nevertheless, only time will tell what is to be done. And for better or worse, Dan will do what he wants. Six months of bickering won't change anything.

Later, guys...
