@Cp Don't get me wrong. Friendship is the most important aspect of the show. But Seddie has been developing since season one and Dan has obviously been planning their relationship from the start. A few bitter fans shouldn't make him change the direction of the show. If I was writing a show, I wouldn't let the fans personal preference affect the direction that my show was going in. But if he truly believes Sam and Freddie don't belong together and he's not just breaking them up so a couple fans will sleep well at night, then fine. It's his show. I could respect his decision. Friendship definitely before romance. :)
