@Embargo Ordinarily, I would agree that that is a valid theory. However, it doesn't fully line up with the timeline. Jathan was shown to be getting along up until mid-late 2010 (the early Season 4 episodes don't show any signs of awkwardness and discomfort). We first start to see the discomfort in that "Frederick" vid--definite, visible awkwardness between both of them there. Then, from iOMG onward, where Seddie was supposed to shine the most brightly, the chemistry is just gone. Just like that. Poof. And when did Nathan first hook up with Madisen? 2010. Coincidence? I think not.

Also, I'd like to point out that I think you're a little bit mistaken in your assumptions. One, Paul didn't become an issue until much, much later. I don't even believe they interacted or hung out together until after iCarly was already over (the very first time we saw them together was in the surfing pics which occurred way after Jathan had their supposed falling out). Jennette did find solace in somebody during the turbulous times with Nadisen but it wasn't Paul. It was Miranda. As evidenced by the fact that, despite not hanging out AT ALL outside of set before, they were suddenly connecting like crazy in 2011 (again, it perfectly fits the timeline). Even though I have nothing against Miranda, I remember being so embittered that they were bonding so tightly and actually making an effort to leave Nathan out (at least on Jennette's side). This greatly upset me because, as we all know, Jathan was the one that used to have that insane bond and it literally looked as if Jennette had "traded off" which isn't completely fair to Miranda either, by the way.

Trust me, I've been studying this scenario for years now and it all comes back to Nadisen. Things only started to majorly change in the entire iCarly/Jatharanda dynamic after that event occurred. I can't imagine why it's so hard for people to see that. xP
