So, would you have still watched the show if there was no Seddie--an in, no Sam and Freddie? Probably not, right? Okay, end of that discussion.

Do you think if any other pairing of actors played Seddie that you would still ship it?

Honestly, all the Jathan brouhaha aside, Jennette and Nathan managed to portray their characters in a genuinely likeable way--especially in the first three seasons. Dan really struck gold with those two (I think they're second only Drake and Josh in terms of raw compatibility).

Seddie, even written in the exact same way that it was, probably would have come across obnoxiously in the hands of two mediocre actors--even if they had passable chemistry with each other.

I've always thought that the secret to Seddie's success was the perfect combination of the old writers' ingenious character development and Jathan's golden chemistry. However, I think the latter is what really drove the show and made it the monster hit that it was.
