Just because there are many main characters that are more semi-normal than the rest of the cast does not mean that it's an excuse. There are PLENTY of shows with main characters that have not only have character development, but actually have a story, which I would like to add - something else that Carly doesn't have.

S&TC, and Harry Potter are a few that I can think of off the top of my head. Good writing consists of making ever character interesing, which means that every character will have character development, again, for Carly's argument it's not so much that Creddie was the ONLY way, it's just now with the finale at our door that it has become that way due ot Carly's lack of character development.

Seddie, Cam and Creddie fans are just as disappointed as I am when it comes to Carly's character, so it's not just just a matter of Creddie happening at all or not, it's a matter of all fans wanting to know more about one of the show's best characters.

As I argued, she isn't as "simple", I would have loved to see her address the issue of what's it like to not have a mother, or how her father is away all the time. Obviously it is something that bothers her based on iFL and iChristmas, so why not explore this aspect of her?

Also, if it was something that Dan didn't want to touch on, then he would have never have made Carly and Freddie so close, would have never said "let's try again when this whole hero thing has passed" and he would have NOT mentioned Creddie again in iOAR when the show was already in it's last days of productions. I like to think that Dan is not a total troll.
