"EVEN IF I WAS A CREDDIER I would never want to see sam heart broken throughout Season 5."

I really don't see that happening, regardless of whether Freddie chooses to be with Sam or not.

A short while back, I posted a comment on the Seddie page about how much Sam and Freddie's relationship is built on courage, particularly the courage it would take for Sam to let down her emotional walls, and for Freddie to accept the daunting task of getting through those walls to reach her (and the responsibility of knowing that if he fails, he may hurt Sam to the point that she would never trust anybody ever again).

I meant everything I said, including when I said it was one of the most poignant aspects of their relationship. However, I also said that, in my opinion, it's unlikely that we're going to see anything that dramatic actually factor into the T.V. series. It is a children's show, after all. It's definitely fertile ground for fan fiction writers, but not for the T.V. show.

I don't believe that Freddie is going to reject Sam outright. That's a little too depressing. But I find it plausible that the show may take a softer approach, like Freddie asking Sam to give him time to figure out how he feels about her.

Remember, up until the moment she kissed him, he honestly believed she liked Brad. Freddie had no idea Sam felt this way about him. He was shocked. I can easily believe that he may need time to process all of this before making a decision about being with Sam.

If Sam and Freddie do become a couple, my guess is that it's probably going to go the same way as iSaved Your Life. A single episode, or perhaps a two-part movie, in which Sam and Freddie are together ... and then, something happens that forces one or both of them to put the relationship "on hold" (like Carly and Freddie did).

Not necessarily break up altogether (although that's possible), but at least take some time out. (It may not even be Freddie's decision this time around. It could be Sam breaking up with him for some reason.)

And the reason that Sam and Freddie's relationship would only last one episode is the same one that Carly and Freddie's did ... I don't know if anybody here is tired of hearing me (and my siblings) talking about this yet, but ... It's because of the unpredictable way that Nickelodeon sometimes airs episodes out of the intended order. Episodes with ongoing relationships can get very messy if they're not aired in the proper order.

And what would happen to Sam in the next episode? Would she be heartbroken?

In real life, yes. On this television show? Probably not. Instead, she'll be right back to what she was before. Maybe a bit quiet for an episode or two, a bit awkward, but on the whole, she'll be fine. Because that's what the nature of the show calls for. iCarly is a children's fantasy. It's basically a cartoon. It always has been.

It may be unrealistic for Sam to bounce back from heartbreak so quickly, but if you're going to use realism as your criteria, there is a lot about iCarly you would have to criticize.

No, if Sam and Freddie don't work out as a couple ... Somebody will be heartbroken, yes, but it won't be Sam. It will be the Seddie shippers.

And by your own arguments, Rachim, it should be no big deal. The Seddie shippers should just get over it.

As I've said a few times before, I love both the Carly/Freddie and Sam/Freddie relationships. (I consider myself lucky that way, because I can feel happy no matter which one happens.) I would be thrilled to see Sam and Freddie become a couple.

But not because I'm afraid of Sam getting heartbroken. That doesn't factor into it. And I don't think it's fair to try to guilt the Creddiers into giving up their wish to see Carly and Freddie become a couple.
