I think the main three have a dynamic that Dan and the writers can see moves the show forward. if sam/freddie or carly/freddie happened for more than an episode the feel of that dynamic will change.

Id rather the show either focus on them and have those little one episode school crushes or not have them dating at all. in the end it will most likely be some random character they build up and fall in love with. I really think Melanie will return towards the end and Freddie will fall for her.
