List of iCarly characters

Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove) starts as a 13-year-old girl who lives with her older brother, Spencer Shay, in Seattle, Washington. They live in the Bushwell Plaza apartment building.

In "iPilot", Carly takes the blame for one of Sam's pranks and has to oversee people who want to be in the school's talent show as punishment. When Carly, Sam, and Freddie's suggestions are completely ignored, they decide to make a web show named iCarly upon Freddie's suggestion, with the 'i' standing for 'Internet' and Carly's name since she will be the host of the show.

In the 2021 revival, it is revealed that Carly hosted QVC whilst in Italy and hosted college radio while studying theater and media studies. By the events of the reboot, she is sharing an apartment in Seattle with her new friend Harper. After failed attempts to start an Internet channel with romantic interests, she decides to restart her iCarly webshow, with Freddie and Spencer assisting her. Carly's relationship with Freddie develops more throughout the second season, to the point where they start to fall in love with each other again, something established in the season 2 finale and stated by Freddie's then-girlfriend, Pearl.

Samantha "Sam" Puckett[1] (Jennette McCurdy) is Carly's best friend and co-hosts the iCarly webshow with her. Sam has an identical twin sister named Melanie. Their mother is Pam Puckett (Jane Lynch[2]).

In the series finale, "iGoodbye", Sam and Carly take a break from their web show while Carly moves to Italy. Sam becomes a lead character in the spin-off series Sam & Cat, in which she moves to Los Angeles and becomes friends with Cat Valentine (a character originally from Victorious) after rescuing her from a garbage truck.

In the 2021 revival, it's revealed that Sam had left Los Angeles and joined a biker gang that travels the country.

Fredward "Freddie" Benson[3] (Nathan Kress) is the technical producer for the web-show iCarly. He is shown to have feelings for Carly that she is aware of but doesn't reciprocate, and Sam tends to bully and berate him, although their relationship develops in later seasons.

In the 2021 revival, it is revealed that in the nine years since they were last together, Freddie had been involved in a failed tech start-up, had two failed marriages, and was forced to move back in with his mother along with his adopted stepdaughter Millicent. Freddie's relationship with Carly develops romantically again in season 2, to the point where they start to fall in love again, something established in the season 2 finale and established by Freddie's then-girlfriend, Pearl. Freddie becomes Carly's boyfriend in season 3 and she reveals she wants to marry him in "iGo to Toledo", when she says she hopes to one day be known as a Benson too.

Spencer Shay (Jerry Trainor) is Carly's older brother. He was the only adult main character in the original series. Spencer is immature, irresponsible and hyperactive. When Carly's dad was called overseas, she went to live with Spencer, who turned their loft into both a workspace and gallery for his wacky sculptures. Spencer is off-beat but acts responsibly and seriously when necessary. Though often spontaneous and unreliable, Spencer has been shown as being extremely protective of Carly, especially in episodes such as "iQuit iCarly", "iLook Alike", and "iDate a Bad Boy".

In the 2021 revival, it is revealed that Spencer became a millionaire after one of his sculptures was accidentally set on fire and inadvertently seen by the art audience as a political statement. He has since remodeled his apartment, but kept the third floor intact, allowing Carly and Freddie to use it to restart their webshow. He also opened a restaurant on the former Groovy Smoothie location called Shay What. In the third season, it is revealed he that he was a sperm donor and that he has 11 biological children.

Orenthal Cornelius "Gibby" Gibson[4][5] (Noah Munck) is a friend and classmate of Carly and Sam. Due to his odd personality and chubby appearance, he is an outcast at school, although he does have a few friends. He used to be known for taking off his shirt in almost all episodes he appeared in. After season 4, he has not taken his shirt off and stated in "iStill Psycho" that he takes it off "less frequently now". He often appears on iCarly to assist Carly, Sam, and Freddie. Gibby started off as an occasional recurring character of the show, but was promoted to a main character by season 4.[6] Gibby has a little brother named Guppy, played by Munck's younger brother. A running gag in many episodes usually has many characters yelling "Gibby!" to him, either when they are aggravated or annoyed by him. Since becoming a series regular, Gibby often announces his presence upon entering a room by saying his own name in a deepened voice: "Gibbeh!" It was revealed in the episode, "iStill Psycho", that his birth name is Orenthal Gibson.

Harper Bettencourt[7] (Laci Mosley) is Carly's new best friend and roommate. She is an aspiring fashion designer and works as a barista at Skybucks Coffee Bar after her family lost their fortune.

Following Mosley's casting in March 2021,[8] Mosley has been the target of racist attacks from fans who saw her as a "replacement" for Jennette McCurdy's Sam Puckett. Writer Franchesca Ramsey tweeted in response, "[Mosley]'s character Harper isn't replacing Sam [McCurdy's character from the original].[9]

Millicent Mitchell[10] (Jaidyn Triplett) is Freddie's snarky and social media-obsessed adopted stepdaughter. Freddie shares custody of her with her mother, Gwen.[8]

Marissa Benson (Mary Scheer) is Freddie's stereotypical, overbearing, sensitive, and cautious mom, first appearing in "iWanna Stay with Spencer". She is neurotic, worried about Freddie getting hurt, having relationships with girls, and constantly treats her son like a child. She wanted Carly to love Freddie in "iWill Date Freddie", but later came to resent her for changing Freddie's "boy chemistry". Marissa constantly embarrasses Freddie in public, often by making him follow all of her strange rules. In the revival, she bonds well with her adopted granddaughter Millicent. In season 3 Marissa is engaged to Lewbert.

Lewbert Sline[11] (Jeremy Rowley) is the rude doorman of Carly's apartment. He has a large, noticeable wart on his left cheek. In "iFind Lewbert's Lost Love", he reveals that the wart developed from stress caused by his abusive ex-girlfriend, Marta.

In the 2021 revival, it is revealed that a month after Carly left for Italy, Lewbert had abruptly left the apartment building, and spent nine years trying to build a plan to get back at the iCarly gang by going to law school and becoming a lawyer in order to sue them for $2.4 million. In season 3, it showed that he is engaged to Mrs. Benson.

Terrence "T-Bo" Bo[12] (BooG!e) is the manager at the Groovy Smoothie. He often hassles his customers to buy random foods, such as bagels, bell peppers, doughnuts and pickles, alongside smoothies. These foods are always skewered on a stick. T-Bo says he has a degree in "Smoothieology". He is a close friend of Carly, Spencer, and the rest of the gang.

Socko is Spencer's longtime friend since high school, who is mentioned in several episodes but never seen in person. He is known for making all of Spencer's brightly colored, light-up socks and is shown to come from a large family that all have names directly relating to their occupations. He often commissions Spencer to make sculptures for his business.

Nevel Amadeus Papperman[13] (Reed Alexander) is a recurring villain in the iCarly series, running the popular review website Nevelocity.com and tending to have a "posh" personality which includes dressing formally all the time. First appearing in "iNevel", Nevel reveals to have a crush on Carly and initially offered to interview her in order to get close to her, but Carly resisted his romantic advances, eventually retaliating by angrily smearing tapenade on his face after he kissed her. He has since made it his goal to destroy the iCarly gang.

Chuck Chambers[14] (Ryan Ochoa) first made an appearance in "iHurt Lewbert", when playing racquetball in the lobby, which Spencer got him grounded by his father for two days. Later in the episode, when Spencer is out of earshot, he uses the CB radio that Spencer is using to upset two truckers and gives the truckers the location so that they can come and get Spencer. Since then, Chuck and Spencer became rivals and have clashed on several more occasions, usually ending with Spencer winning and Chuck getting in trouble with his father. He later re-appears in the reboot series' second season's second episode "iObject, Lewbert!", where he commits perjury under the authorities' noses by falsely testifying against Carly and Spencer in court.

Guppy Gibson[5] (Ethan Munck) is Gibby's younger brother. He first appears in "iPsycho" when he visits Gibby, who is staying with Spencer and Carly.
