@GiantKid - What I think you're failing to grasp is that it's pretty unlikely for characters in a childrens' program to differentiate between loving someone romantically and being "in love" with someone. Are there varying levels of love? Sure, many of which are further complicated by the presence of lust and physical intimacy that simply cannot be explored in a program of this nature.

Freddie making the connection that "I love you" means "I'm in love with you" in iSYL and using those exact words in iLY is as close to clarification as you're going to get. Whether or not Freddie's definition of being "in love" matches your definition is a moot point; what he feels for Sam is, by his own admission, more significant than what he feels (felt) for Carly.
