Leah, you're not the only one who thinks this way, I agree with everything you say. Embargo doesn't, and he has his well-documented reasons. I just think our reasons are better. :).

SIBBY? No way was that ever something Dan intended. IOAR was all about the Goodfellas parody, and Dan's weird love for the Gibby character. That's it. There are no other indications of Sibby throughout the series, if anything there's more Cibby because Sam and Freddie had their own storylines and so the writers needed something for Carly and Gibby to do. See, iomg, and iDate Sam and Freddie, for example. But I don't think Cibby was gonna happen either.

I would say that the writers had Seddie in mind if not from the beginning than at least through Seasons 2-3. It is an ongoing thematic storyline throughout those seasons, the only such storyline this otherwise episodic "show about nothing" had. (Creddie had one episode, in which Carly's feelings did not change and were never spoken of again. Not a continuing storyline.). And I would say that episodes like IOAR and ipear store and iget banned lead me to believe that as they were going into the last season they had a "Seddie making each other jealous" storyline in mind which may have led to them getting back together. This was abandoned halfway through the season in favor of field trips to New York and Vegas and other gimmicks. Probably because they were spinning off Sam and couldn't have her end up with Freddie. Both the igoodbye phonecall and TKTJ seem to continue this jealousy/getting back together storyline.

By contrast, the ONLY Creddie we got leading up to igoodbye was Freddie's one-sided crush in IOAR (which was used, WITHIN THE EPISODE, to show Sam's jealous), and the totally out of nowhere kiss in igoodbye which somehow was meant to co-exist with the Seddie phone call. THAT is bad writing.

That's the thing about Creddie- there were never any episodes, or even moments, in which you wondered "hmmmm, does this mean she likes him?" She didn't. Then she did for one episode, and then she didn't again, IN THE SAME EPISODE. There were never any hints that her feelings were changing, and there were many signs that Freddie was growing up and out of his crush. If they were planning Creddie at the end, they sure didn't lay any groundwork like they did with Seddie. They certainly could have gone that way, from the first season, but they didn't. The could've had Carly kiss him in ikiss, for example. They didn't.

Once they made ikiss, the Seddie was pretty much a done deal. There was no other reason to do it like that, especially to have them ENJOY the kiss.
