I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a huge fan of Creddie/Seddie happening on the show but with that admission out of the way, I think this is at the very least an intriguing idea. We know, as an audience, that Carly/Sam/Freddie have a very, very close dynamic together and it makes sense on a natural scale that there would be some inter-dating at some point during the series.

We've already seen the dynamic between Carly/Freddie for the first 3 seasons and that kind of ran its course by the end. Either Carly would admit something or it'd just continue to teeter totter the way it was going. Now we see the flipside where Sam is the aggressor and Freddie wants to see where the relationship goes (really, an inverse of Carly/Freddie with Freddie being the Carly, and saying Yes, to Sam's Freddie).

As long as the comedy remains and the arc provides set ups for the comedy, I think it's worth doing and showing on iCarly. If the premise of Sam/Freddie can lead to funny setups, such as the mental hospital premise (which is pretty funny that they take the standard "maybe I'm nuts for liking/loving this person" to its extreme), then I'm all for it.

As for the Creddie not being mentioned... I really don't see why it would. Freddie has always been the one to pine for Carly and Carly not so subtly has always, always rejected him out of hand. There have been soft hints of jealousy on Carly's part when Freddie is with somebody but I don't see why Carly would ever get jealous of Sam being with Freddie. Sam's her best friend, Freddie's a good friend, and the two of them are together. Carly has openly expressed wanting happiness for Sam and Freddie and this is as perfect a situation in her eyes as any. It's one of those, "Better to be with her/him than that person" scenarios.

Also, frankly, Sam/Freddie having a relationship creates a lot more interesting opportunities storyline wise. They can break up and Freddie can turn to Carly, Sam can turn to Carly (I wish), Sam and Carly's friendship can be strained, Carly and Freddie's friendship can be strained, etc. With Carly/Freddie, you'd cut out one of those story dynamics since Freddie would never have turned to Sam for a possible future relationship if he and Carly broke up.
