'"I guess what I'm saying is, if Dan wanted to end things with Seddie, it would have made more sense to never bring Carly [back] into Freddie's love life in the first place and it certainly would have been better to never have Freddie ask Carly if it was too late for her to love him. I mean, if Freddie was going to keep loving Sam, then he shouldn't have ever said that to Carly in the first place." '

I think you've got it backwards. What a writer shouldn't do is make endship seem easy. Planting seeds of doubt is what writer should do, as it creates tension. Introducing the specter of the other ship creates the drama that you need.

There are several reasons why this doesn't work in reverse in Creddie's favor (primarily how the Seddie realtionship started, progressed, and how it ended and what was said), but I've mentioned those several times elsewhere and won't rehash them now.
