@Neonpink/archnemesis OMG! Yes. Yes! YES! You both took the words right out of my mouth! I don't buy that Sam and Freddie really wanted to break up. They only did because of what Carly had indirectly said to them. One could argue that Sam broke Creddie up in a similar way, but the difference is that there was no Creddie "I love you". There was an entirely different exchange, as Arch already mentioned. That isn't to say that Freddie didn't possibly regret it back then (when he was heard screaming in the elevator), but the point is, overtime Freddie realized that Carly didn't return the feelings and got over her. Even today, when he tries to get any indication on her feelings she still gives the same, unrequited response.

Also, I didn't even think about the Victorious reference. If Dan would put the same amount of effort on iCarly as he does with Victorious, we wouldn't be seeing these major fan backlashes. Oh, sure, he cares enough about his Victorious characters to make sure no one ends up looking like a jerk, but with iCarly it's like he stopped giving a crap a long time ago. :/
