I definitely agree that Dan Schneider sacrificed the integrity of the Freddie Benson character for whatever the kiss scene was.

I will go further than you on the writing staff: Dan Schneider needs a script editor who can over-ride him. With the writing team being all-male, I would recommend a strong female writer who has final say over the script so that Dan can't make last-second changes like that.

Let me give examples from other series. Dan Schneider had too much control of the writing of his series starting in April 2011. This is the same one that Gene Roddenberry made with the first few seasons of ST:TNG. Doctor Who has had similar mistakes with Douglas Adams, Eric Saward, Russell Davies, and Steve Moffatt. Conversely, Terry Nation always said that the reason that Blake's 7 almost always had strong scripts was that script editor Chris Boucher had final say over everyone else's scripts.
