When Mrs. Benson and her husband first married and had Freddie, She was a normal non-crazy mother. When Fredie was around four or five, his father fell to alcoholism or drug abuse, and started physically abusing his wife and child. When Freddie was around ten, Mrs. Benson finally managed to finalize the divorce and they moved into Bushwell Plaza. They took Marrisa's maiden name to distance themselves from the man. However, Mrs. Benson was forever changed: Seeing her only child being constantly hurt made her overprotective. In iHurt Lewbert, it's mentioned that Freddie's mother always makes him wear belts, which Freddie doesn't like, the reasoning is that Freddie's father would belt him and Mrs. Benson wants him to get over his fear of them. Carly and Sam don't know, Freddie doesn't like to talk about it. Spencer know, though. Mrs. Benson decided it would be best to tell him as Freddie spent some much time in Spencer's home. Freddie's Father also happened to be Hispanic. The reason that Freddie has been using so many Spanish words and phrases lately is either because he's reconciled with his past or because he's trying to feel mentally close to relatives on his father's side who were kind to him, but his mom won't allow him to see anymore.

Nora is set to reappear in iStill Psycho, Never is no longer a bad guy and was pretty much the BigBad, so now the position is open. She'll reappear in iStill Psycho, after the Saddie StoryArc ends and become the main recurring villain. After all, iPsycho was one of the most popular episode of the show by far, so it'd make sense to make the special BigBad a BreakoutVillain.

Stockholm Syndrome is a disambiguation


Creddie is the OfficialCouple. Creator/MirandaCosgrove is the star. Creddie has been [[ShipTease teased]], [[JustFriends flirted with]], hooked up and broken up ''without'' ShipSinking for 70+ episodes and they keep playing and touching each other all the damn time now. There are so many negatives and questions that a Sam/Freddie hookup would bring such as Freddie appearing mentally unstable after Sam has beat the crap out of him for 70+ episodes, making it look like StockholmSyndrome, make Sam look like a rebound, make her look like a complete bitch for treating him that way whilst hiding 'secret feelings' and has the potential to ruin the increasingly weak comedic side of the show in an effort for a cheap ratings stunt to pacify the online fans that only end up being a 0.01% of the actual viewer numbers. Sam also has a canon PrecociousCrush on Spencer.

Acceptable Targets is an index and indexes can't be linked anywhere besides other indexes and trope descriptions (when appropriate).


*** You are not alone. It's Sam's behavior which made me give up on the show. Apparently it's okay for a girl to be a total bitch to all but a few people, especially if it's a boy [[AcceptableTargets who happens to be a nerd]]. [[DoubleStandard Nevermind the backlash if it were the other way around]]. Sam and Freddie are VitriolicBestBuds? A CurbStompBattle-equivalent, maybe (How the hell does what Freddie has done to Sam equivalent to her ''throwing him out of a treehouse'') but definitely not best buds. If the likes of [[JerkSue Sam Puckett and Alex Russo]] are really the epitome of "awesome female characters," then I'll stick with the likes of ''Series/HannahMontana''. At least their behavior doesn't drive me to change the channel out of disgust.

* For that matter, Carly kinda seems like a stoner at times too. There are numerous occasions when she repeats a funny sounding word the gently laughs a la WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead. Aside from pranks, she writes most of the material on iCarly which is on the Main page as [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs not being written with a clear head]], I for one love stoner comedy and characters, but they are as close to a G-rated/Nickelodeon version of Female WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead expies as you can get. The writers and cast do a great job of not making Carly and Sam seem like airheads, but shows that they are far from being geniuses, but YMMV.

Overprotective Dad has been disambiguated


* I think I can elaborate, Steven and Audrey Shay had vastly different parenting styles. Steven implemented his [[DrillSergeantNasty miltary training]] to raise Spencer and Drake, horrifying the overly-lenient Audrey to the point that when she got pregnant with girls, she knew to protect them from a [[OverprotectiveDad miserable exsistence]], she had to divorce him. After a heated arguement a few years later, Steven agreed along these terms, they would each get one boy and one girl, and meet back every other year to compare results. Spencer, then a bookworm determined to be a lawyer to [[WellDoneSonGuy impress his father]] opted to stay with Steven, automaticaly giving Drake to Audrey. They decided that Carly, the more disiplined twin, even at three, would work better with Steven, So Audrey, with Drake and Megan in tow, moved to California. The sudden lack of disipline causes Drake and Megan to act out, becoming the children they are today. At the first of the biennial meetings, Steven is proven right and Audrey agrees to be a bit more strict, turning her in to the Audrey Parker of ''Series/DrakeAndJosh''. Drake evens out, but Megan, missing the days of leniency, goes underground with her unadulterated assult of pranks toward Drake. Catching on to this at the next meeting, Audrey asked Steven for a solution, and what Steven suggested was so harsh it triggered a fight so explosive it not only put an end to all further meetings, it gave Carly her last athsma attack, traumatized by [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone nearly losing his daughter]], Steven renounces his strict ways and becomes the beloved dad held fondly in Carly's memories. Carly lost memory of Audrey,Drake, Megan and her father's stricter persona after her attack, but Spencer remembers, which is why he never told Steven about his dropping out of law school. No one ever speaks of Audrey fearing either Stephen relapsing into DrillSergeantNasty or Carly's memories of her dad before shattering her image of him, driving her over the edge. They've seen her develop claustrophobia after 3 hours in a space pod, imagine Daddy's little girl remembering how mean daddy was

The iCarly main trio accurately depicts three of the five protagonists of Jetman: [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Girly Girl]] Kaori had always been pining around TheHero Ryu (who shrugs her off), wherein TheLancer Gai had an affection for Kaori and tensions arise between the two males. Like in the show, past episodes will be revisited after Carly's discovery of the truth. She steps out of the way to give chance to her best friends while she herself reconsiders how she took Freddie for granted far too long. Sam and Freddie will date as part of the story arc (as Gai and Kaori did), while Carly will still have her occasional flings. However, the entire "opposites attract" philosophy doesn't work well between Sam and Freddie as personal differences kick in and they nevertheless break up. Carly then realizes that even with her recent relationships, nothing was better than with Freddie and overcomes the entire "hero worship" thing, to which Sam then supported till the very end without hard feelings between them. The TriangRelations is retained well without straining the friendship, as it did in Jetman.
