What you're saying makes some good sense but I'm still not sure that I completely agree with you. Just because Dan chose a different set-up for Creddie doesn't mean he didn't have every intention to get them together in the end.

As I've said before, the old writers and the Jathan chemistry were the two main ingredients of the first three seasons (Seasons 2-3 were filmed in a block, not Seasons 1-2--that was when Seddie and the overall show was at its peak).

Notice that, prior to iSAFW, Dan had never uttered the words "Creddie" or "Seddie"; it's like he didn't even know they existed until after the Season 2-3 block was over (iSYL probably clued them into the madness, as well). Then, when they started up again with Season 4, they started making all the episodes gimmicky ploys for ratings--which, ironically, ended up working against them.

I believe the Seddie Arc was one of these ploys but since Dan's heart (you make a good point about him being distracted because he definitely put a lot more effort into Victorious) wasn't in it and the ratings for it weren't what they should have been, he sort of gave up after that. He still continued to tease both sides because that's what the fans wanted!!!

I don't know, guys. This topic always exasperates me because it literally makes no sense that they would just drop such a good storyline like that when the show was at its peak. I'm almost tempted to blame Madisen for coming in and destroying the Jathan chemistry; maybe they chose to move away from Seddie and "get it out of the way" to minimize everyone's discomfort. Not to mention that, by the end of the series, nearly everyone who worked on the show (specifically the cast and Dan's wife) was pro-Creddie. Seems correlated, somehow. xP
