Embargo- perhaps Sam was originally conceived as an obstacle to FREDDIE getting the girl. The way it played out, Freddies journey seemed to be growing up, learning to fight back, and then realizing he really loved Sam. But perhaps his original journey was only supposed to be the growing up and fighting back part. The writers (who were all summarily fired or quit after isyl, after writing some of the best Seddie episodes, including isyl itself, in which FREDDIE actually rejects CARLY and listens to Sam), derailed the original intention because they saw the chemistry, and because they were not in Dan's head and didn't have the personal animosity toward the Sam character that he did. Once they left, Dan was free to completely abandon the Seddie storyline so promisingly begun and continued up to and including isyl, and make FREDDIE a douche to Sam, before,during, and after the arc. He couldn't go too far, though, because by then Seddie was a big fandom. But didn't Dan say Sam was one of his favorite characters? Makes no sense.
