Top 10 iCarly Questions We Still Have After Its RUDE Cancellation

Throughout the original series, Colonel Steven Shay is constantly mentioned, but he doesn’t make an appearance until the finale. Unable to stay long, the Colonel offers to take Carly with him to Italy, which she accepts. In the revival, Carly talks about reconnecting with her father and their time overseas. This led us to wonder if Carly’s father might be given a more active role, but once again, he’s designated to being an off-screen presence. Although his name comes up here and there, we’re not given much insight into his military career or if he’s getting closer to retirement. If Carly and Freddie ended up postponing their nuptials, we’d like to think that he would’ve taken a leave to walk his daughter down the aisle.

Pearl becomes Freddie’s girlfriend in the second season, but it’s clear that they’re not compatible. The relationship inevitably crumbles as Carly and Freddie come to terms with their feelings for each other. Don’t feel too bad for Pearl, however. She sporadically dumps Freddie for Troy, whom Carly was ironically dating in an effort to get over Freddie. While this was a satisfying enough exit, it would’ve been interesting to see what became of this relationship and if Pearl ever came to truly reconcile with “Creddie.” Had there been a fourth season, “iCarly” also could’ve elaborated on the dynamic between Carly’s manager Paul and Millicent’s mother Gwen. While the attraction wasn’t mutual, maybe Gwen would’ve warmed up to Paul over time. We’ll never know.

T-Bo started as a minor character in the first series, appearing at the Groovy Smoothie where he attempted to make food on a stick the next trendy menu item. He eventually took on a larger role, even going to live with the Benson family for a period. The revival reveals that the Groovy Smoothie went out of business due to a rat infestation. The location is converted into Shay What?!, which becomes the new hangout spot for our characters. Yet, there’s no mention of what happened to T-Bo after his previous place of business closed. While not an official “iCarly” crew member, you’d think the revival would’ve at least mentioned T-Bo. More info is given on what became of Socko, who we still haven’t seen!

Introduced in the revival, Harper Bettencourt fills the best friend role, becoming Carly’s roommate and partner-in-crime. In the third season, Harper enters a serious relationship with the wealthy Tinsley, an old frenemy turned lover. The relationship isn’t without its hiccups, but by the finale, the two have solidified their commitment to one another. All signs indicated that Tinsley was not only going to be a mainstay of Harper’s life, but the show as well. We would’ve liked to have seen the relationship mature, especially with Tinsley’s bottomless bank account opening the door to plenty of new story ideas. Oh well, maybe these two could get a spinoff with Tinsley showing Harper how the 1% live.

Obnoxious former doorman Lewbert and Mrs. Benson might be this franchise’s most bizarre couple, which is saying a lot. After briefly dating on the original show, the two rekindle their disturbing romance in the revival. Season 3 kicks off with the couple getting engaged, building to their wedding in the finale. With the big day not coming together as they envisioned, Marissa and Lewbert ditch their wedding guests, deciding to elope. Presumably, their Vegas wedding goes off without a hitch (or would that be with a hitch?) In any case, we never see them tie the knot. Assuming they did, who would’ve moved in with who? How would Freddie adjust to having a stepfather? Most importantly, could Mrs. B ever love Lewbert more than Freddie?

Gibby Gibson is another character whose prominence grew throughout the first series. Unlike T-Bo, though, Gibby was upgraded to a series regular by the fourth season. While still often treated as a third wheel, Gibby became an important part of the “iCarly” crew. This made his absence from the revival all the more curious. The gang doesn’t even talk about his whereabouts. We actually see more of his little brother Guppy, who returns to testify against Carly in an episode. Even then, Guppy doesn’t delve into what Gibby has been up to, although the others appear to miss him. We can only assume that Gibby fell into a time vortex and wound up in the 80s with “The Goldbergs.” Now we’ll never get that crossover!

Spencer is sometimes mistaken for Carly’s dad, but he’s really her older brother. Turns out that Spencer does have some dad energy in him… which he unleashed at a cryobank. Gross. In one of the revival’s last episodes, it’s revealed that Spencer’s generous donations resulted in eleven children. In reality, this would be a heavy, even life-changing revelation. Since this is “iCarly”, though, it’s a wacky diversion at most. Of his offspring, Spencer becomes especially attached to Potter, describing her as his “favorite.” Again, messed up if this was real life, but delightfully quirky here! Spencer also hits it off with Potter’s mother, although we’ll never learn if this would’ve blossomed into a relationship or if Spencer would’ve taken on a more active parental role.

Okay, it was always unlikely that this would get an in-depth answer. Between retiring from acting and her history with Nickelodeon, Jennette McCurdy made it clear that she didn’t want to be involved in the revival. Given everything that McCurdy revealed in her memoir, “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” we completely understand. Still, we held onto hope that McCurdy might make a cameo as Sam somewhere down the line. Even if it was just a Zoom call between Carly and her old BFF, we would’ve been happy. The most we learn is that Sam briefly reconnected with Carly before joining a biker gang called The Obliterators. We’re sure that wherever Sam is now, she’s giving someone a good taste of her butter sock.

It took two shows, nine seasons, and 16 years, but Creddie finally became an official couple. As satisfying as their courtship is, the finale leaves a few balls up in the air. It’s hinted at in an episode where Spencer thinks Carly is pregnant, but whatever might’ve happened is left to our imagination. The same goes for their wedding night, assuming that they went through with the ceremony. With Marissa and Lewbert abandoning their wedding, it’s proposed that Carly and Freddie put the venue to good use. Before the couple can exchange vows, though, we’re presented with another question that was obviously being saved for another season. You know what we’re talking about…
