User blog:Slicknickshady/Sam Puckett is not a plot device.

I see a lot of people who think a gigantic love triangle is going to occur. So i think it's time I post why i believe a love triangle won't occur and why i believe Dan won't have Carly in love with Freddie.

'''Sam will not be used as a plot device. She has serious genuine feelings of love for Freddie. Sam is not being used as a roadblock to Creddie just to add more drama.'''

'''Sam is not some one-episode guest star who can be used as a plot device to create drama and then discarded or relegated to the background. She is one of the three most important characters on the show who is vital to the core dynamic. Her feelings are not expendable and are not going to be used as some sort of stepping stone for Carly and Freddie, especially when we're talking about the kind of feelings that we saw in the episode. They could have toned down the weight and depth of Sam's feelings, but they chose not to. They could have played up the weight and depth of Carly's feelings in iSYL, but they chose not to. If they wanted to play the "Carly realizes she likes Freddie when she gets jealous" angle, they would have brought in some random guest star girlfriend for Freddie and had Carly be jealous of her. Brad was a plot device, Cort was a plot device and even Melanie was a plot device. Not Sam. '''

The point being if Dan was going to have Carly in love with Freddie, iOMG would not exist. Dan would have brought in say another love interest for Freddie, and have Carly get jealous of her. Feel free to disagree of course. I think it just makes too much sense.

I mean seriously think about the drama we have seen in this show in the past? There is nothing that points to a storyline happening where both Sam and Carly are romantically in love with Freddie and him having to choose and then Sam stepping aside. That is some very angsty afternoon soapish stuff. This is a show on Nickelodeon. To have Carly decide in the next episode that she loves Freddie as well would just be so angsty and drama filled. I mean Sam who hides her feelings, did what Carly told her to do, Make a move. Carly said all she wanted was Sam to be happy.

Well Sam finally did it, put herself out in a vulnerable position, and then to have Carly love Freddie? That wouldn't destroy a friendship? I think it would. Even one as strong as Carly and Sam's. Carly told Sam to make a move. Carly told Sam she just wanted her to be happy. No friendship would survive it.

Thoughts?
