"If he wanted to build suspense for Creddie, he could do so in any number of ways while maintaining character integrity."

Yes. If you want to set up the idea that a character is hiding feelings, first it has to be the type of character who would do that (Carly isn't), and a good writer will clue in the audience to what that person is feeling in order to build suspense. Tell the audience, but hide it from the other characters until you're ready to reveal it.

That's EXACTLY what Dan did at the end of iSpeed Date - but he did it for Sam, not Carly.
