User blog comment:Lotstar/iLost My Mind: For Creddie Fans/@comment-3419321-20110611035943

I'm actually a neutral shipper.

(After reading a huge number of Creddie and Seddie fan fiction stories, I've pretty much overloaded on the romantic aspects of the characters' relationships, to the point that I no longer particularly care which, if any of them, become a couple on the show.)

That said, here's my take on it ...

First of all, I was very surprised.

From what Dan Schneider and Nathan Kress had said, my siblings (Phenglei Kai and Serene Girl) and I had had the impression that we were only going to see a little bit of the aftermath of iOMG, inserted into each of the next several episodes. Some folks were, as I recall, predicting that it would be a C-plot of each episode at most.

It looked (to us, at least) like Dan Schneider was going to start a long, slow buildup of Sam and Freddie's relationship all the way to the final episode of Season 4, and only then would we actually find out whether Sam and Freddie were going to become a couple. I was really surprised that he's apparently going to have them start dating right away instead.

Contrary to what many folks here thought, it looks like the A-plot of the next several episodes really will be about Sam and Freddie.

For the Creddiers, though, this may not necessarily be bad news.

Please understand, it's not that I want to rain on the Seddiers' parade tonight, but may I point out ... In the past several weeks, some of the Seddiers themselves actually said that they didn't want Sam and Freddie to become a couple right away, because it would give Dan Schneider too much time to break them up.

(If there are any Seddiers reading this, please remember ... You said it, not me.)

If Sam and Freddie's relationship doesn't extend beyond Season 4, then there is yet a possibility for Carly and Freddie.

Some of the Seddiers themselves, again, have acknowledged that it would be possible for something to happen between Carly and Freddie if Dan Schneider just waited a little while after Sam and Freddie's breakup.

If I was a Creddier ... I honestly don't know how I would feel right now. But I would like to think that I would be gracious enough to try to be happy for the Seddiers, and allow them to have their moment in the sun here, and for my own part, take comfort in the knowledge that hope yet lives for Carly and Freddie. I hope the Creddiers here do, as well.
