Main Characters

Carly Shay

Carly Shay
First appearance	iPilot
Portrayed by	Miranda Cosgrove Jadin Gould (8-year-old Carly)
In-universe information
Occupation	Student, viral webstar
Family	Captain Shay (father) Mrs. Shay (mother) Spencer Shay (legal guardian, brother)

Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove) is the teen star of her own popular web show, iCarly. She has a quirky sense of humor which is most evident when she is filming the web show. She is also level-headed and can be quite motherly. She often acts as a mediator when her two closest friends, Sam and Freddie, get into arguments, and even keeps her eccentric older brother Spencer grounded at times. She is a straight A+ student, but in the episode iPromise Not To Tell, she gets a B+, because her strict teacher doesn't like three-hole paper. She is aware that Freddie is in love with her, but she just wants to be friends with him. Her arch enemy is Nevel, who wants to get her webshow shut down, and he wants to kiss her. She usually doesn't like Spencer treating her like a little sister.

Sam Puckett

Sam Puckett
First appearance	iPilot
Portrayed by	Jennette McCurdy Olivia Hosken (9-year-old Sam)

Samantha "Sam" Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) is Carly's best friend and co-host of "iCarly". She frequently gets into trouble, bullies other kids at school, and shows blatant lack of regard for rules. She was born on a bus. Almost everyone in her family is either in prison or on parole. Sam stated that if she doesn't have money, she goes to Carly's and eats her food. Sam often relies on Carly to get her out of trouble (as seen in episodes such as iPilot and iOwe You). Sam can be selfish, lazy, and somewhat indifferent to others' feelings. However, she is also lighthearted and funny, and capable of coming through for her friends when needed. In iTwins, it is revealed and shown that she has an identical twin sister named Melanie Puckett, who is Sam's polar opposite. In the episode "iKiss" Sam shared her first kiss with Fredward "Freddie" Benson but they swore they would never mention it again. This however, is brought up in the season 3 premiere,iThink They Kissed.

Freddie Benson

Fredward "Freddie" Benson
First appearance	iPilot
Portrayed by	Nathan Kress
In-universe information
Gender	Male

Fredward "Freddie" Benson (Nathan Kress) is the technical producer of iCarly. He had a crush on Carly since before the pilot episode. Twice she has said yes to him when he is flirting with her. In iLike Jake, she kissed Freddie on the nose, because he made Jake's voice sound better. In iFence, she went to get a smoothie with him, to make up for a tick bath he was forced to take, which was arguably a date. Freddie is somewhat of a nerd: he takes his school work very seriously and is the technology "buff" of the show, plus he shows strong interests in works of fiction, and is also an athlete (he can fence and play tennis). Despite his characterization as a nerd, he has still earned the heartthrob status, which means that many girls at school have a crush on him (and as a result are all insulted by Sam). Also in iThink They Kissed, it is shown that Freddie is stronger and his new strength appeared when his voice got lower.

Spencer Shay

Spencer Shay
First appearance	iPilot
Portrayed by	Jerry Trainor
In-universe information
Nickname	Spence (by Freddie, Carly and Sam)
Gender	Male

Spencer Shay (Jerry Trainor) is Carly's older brother in his mid-20's who is usually always in some kind of a crisis. Spencer went to law school for three days, but left to become an artist because it was his real dream (although he still has some legal knowledge). He is, sometimes, strict to Carly as he would not let her go to the MMA fight in iLook Alike, would not let her first time date a bad boy named Griffin in iDate a Bad Boy and became jealous when Carly began to take art lessons at an art school in iMust Have Locker 239. He is not fooled easily, and his intuition is surprisingly accurate. He works as a sculptor and artist, a common plot device on iCarly, and some of his work can be seen in his apartment. Spencer occasionally stars on iCarly, and at one point took over as a cameraman when Freddie hosted the show. He attended Ridgeway Middle School from 1992-1995. A running joke in the series is that most things Spencer builds tend to spontaneously burst into flames (with added humor coming from the fact that the part of the item that does so is always made of a material that is non-flammable in real life). Another recurring gag is he often finds himself in unusual situations in nearly every episode, serving as a subplot, such as teaching art to prisoners or being held captive in the basement of their appartment building.

Recurring characters

Marissa Benson

Marissa Benson (Mary Scheer) is Freddie's nosy, Soccer Mom mother, seeming to border on psychotic at times. It is said that she wanted a girl, but makes do with Freddie. She always treats Freddie like a baby and won't let him have any freedom. Marissa only gives Freddie $8 of allowance a month because she's afraid if she gives him more he'll buy a bus ticket and leave her.

Lewbert

Lewbert (Jeremy Rowley) is the mean, nasty doorman of Carly's apartment building and a secondary antagonist. He is 30 years old and his birthday is on September 13. He has a big, gross wart on his cheek. He is featured on the bit "Messin' with Lewbert" on iCarly, where they pull pranks on him and tell the viewers what a horrible person he is. He had a short romance with Freddie's mom when he got hurt, but didn't last because of his rude and selfish personality. Lewbert is overprotective of his lobby.

Nevel Papperman

Nevel Papperman (Reed Alexander) is the main antagonist in several episodes. He runs an extremely popular website, Nevelocity.com, from where he reviews other websites. Nevel has a crush on Carly and initially offered to interview her in order to get close to her, but she refused his advances; and he got revenge by writing a scathing review of iCarly on Nevelocity. Nevel would go over extreme measures to ruin iCarly, but in the end, most of his plans end up backfiring, resulting in him suffering in some way.

Amanda "Mandy" Valdez

Amanda "Mandy" Valdez (born in El Paso, Texas) (Aria Wallace) is iCarly's biggest fan. She is described as hyperactive and annoying when around Carly, Sam, and Freddie. She appeared in iAm Your Biggest Fan and iWant My Website Back.

Melanie Puckett

Melanie Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) is Sam's sister, the good twin. Unlike her sister, Melanie cares for people and is very nice. She and Sam have absolutely nothing in common despite the fact they're identical twins, considering the fact that they dress differently, and that Melanie speaks in a slightly-higher pitch than Sam. Melanie has a crush on Freddie and has dated him.

Chuck Chambers

Charles "Chuck" Chambers (Ryan Ochoa) is a secondary antagonist in Season 2, especially to Spencer. He first made an appearance in "iHurt Lewbert", playing racketball in the lobby, for which Spencer got him grounded for two days. Since then, Chuck and Spencer have clashed on several more occasions ("iReunite with Missy"; "iTwins"), each time ending with Spencer winning and Chuck getting in trouble with his father.

Earl Chambers

Earl Chambers (Chris Harper) is Chuck's dad. He is a good friend of Spencer and wanted to help his son in math and hired Carly to tutor him and at the end Chuck failed and Mr. Chambers told Chuck he was gonna ground him if he was gonna blame Carly for his failure. Then he sends him to math camp for the summer.

T-Bo

Although very unknown, T-Bo is an employee at the Groovy Smoothie. He often annoys people by begging them to buy random foods, such as bagels, bellpeppers, donuts, and pickles. He is also known to do abruptly random things, such as sticking donuts through the sides instead of through the hole.

Shelby Marx

Shelby Mark (Victoria Justice) is a MMA professional boxer who wanted fight with Carly. She later becomes friends with her. She is very protective of her family and becomes ruthless and hurts (or maybe even kill) anyone who harms her family.

Socko

Socko is a friend of Spencer that is mentioned in several episodes. He is actually never seen on the show, but his cousin was in the episode iGive Away A Car. Spencer says he gets socks from him. Socko is probably not his real name.

Teachers At Ridgeway Jr. High School

Principal Theodore "Ted" Franklin

Principal Ted Franklin (Tim Russ) is the school principal, who is fond of Carly and Freddie. He is used to seeing Sam in his office to give her detention on a regular basis.

There has been no explaination for her absense.

Mr. Howard

Mr. Howard (David St. James) is a math teacher and detention moderator with an extremely unpleasant personality.

Wendy (Mary Ann Springer) is Carly, Sam, and Freddie's friend. She usually always knows the newest things in school.
