He got a big(er) head. I don't think anyone cared about the Sam/Freddie development except those early writers. I think Dan cared about it only to the extent it generated interest in the show, and that's why he couldn't stop himself, up until the very end, from putting stuff in there to fuel the lame Seddie/Creddie debate. He was so excited to have a "ship war" (despite his protestations to the contrary when it got out of hand and people were issuing death threats) that he didn't see what it did to the integrity of his characters and storylines. As for S&C, I don't understand whose idea that was, and Princess is right, he should have put his foot down, but perhaps he just wasn't able to do that. Perhaps he thought it would work for the little kid audience and, again, he didn't think of the integrity of his characters, particularly Sam. Nobody cared about Sam in all this really. EXCEPT he did to TKTJ, so either he did it as a desperate ploy for ratings or he cared about Sam a little teeny bit. Or both.
