@Moden, Cartoonprincess - I think differently from you. I imagine DS had unused stories he had thought of for iCarly and Victorious that he needed a vehicle for. So he created S&C to use them up.

Moreover, they were not capitalising on Ariana unless Nick and DS are far more prescient than I think they are - she was not that big until most of the first season of S&C had been filmed. There was no reason to expect her to be that big when S&C was created.

IMHO, he grossly misjudged how upset Jennette was. He probably figured that they all were making a lot of money, so she wouldn't walk away from it no matter what happened. IMHO, he probably did plan on a TKTJ sequel because the original had such high ratings and it looked like the best character chemistry they had between Jennette and Ariana all season; what better way to get them to be OK with coming back for another season by promising more of their old friends on set and with good vibes from TKTJ and its sequel? And imagine the buzz he could have had with Carly showing up and gushing about the iGB kiss while visiting Sam.
