Carly's MOM Revealed?! 🥺 | Full Scene | iCarly

In 2007, we were introduced to Carly and Spencer Shay, who lived on their own in their Bushwell Plaza apartment. And while we met their dad in the very final episode of the original series, we never quite knew what happened to their mom - not only was she never in any episodes, but they never even seemed to talk about her! But 16 years later, Carly is finally ready to open up about her mother. Watch as we uncover one of the biggest iCarly mysteries of all time!

Can we all agree that Spencer is the best fictional big brother ever? Dude not only had to deal with their mom leaving them when they were young, but their dad being stationed overseas, and still took on the huge responsibility of raising Carly all on his own. That deserves massive respect in my mind.

Spencer really stepping up here for carly it’s really sweet actually as he has been not only a big brother to carly but basically a father figure to her

[neelauthayan]

I’m sorry but Freddie is her soulmate!!! When she hinted at her trauma with her mom being why she freaked out, he immediately caught on and asked if she wanted to talk about it. And the way he held her and told her he’s not going anywhere to show his concern and care for her 😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤ GIMME A MAN LIKE THAT PLEASE

Finally after 16 years Carly is talking about her mom

[pottytheparrot]

“Wait so Spencer’s not her dad”

GIBBY

[BabyLambCreations]

FINALLY.

I’m so glad we have a confirmed explanation for the absence of Carly’s mom.

[oliversvoice]

This scene explains *so* much about Carly’s behaviour in original show: She constantly tried to avoid conflict, was a bag of anxiety, and was confirmed to have depression, this is the scene I didn’t know I wanted and is the maturity I had been waiting for from this revival!!

[Chiggianya]

JERRY TRAINOR DESERVES A CAREER LIKE JACK BLACK. THE COMEDIC AND HEARTFELT SO MUCH RESPECT TO JERRY!

We desperately need a S4. You cannot leave us with this bombshell of a Cliffhanger.

Jerry is such such SUCH an underrated actor. His line delivery is great and he has this infectious way about him. He’s just wonderful!

“You’re trauma’s more fun than mine.” The introvert in me feels this

[karleighrock]

Now it makes more sense why Carly and Sam became friends. They were both abandoned by their parents and leaned on each other. Sam didn’t have a dad and Carly didn’t have a mom and her dad was always overseas.

[Unversed]

One thing Carly and Freddie have in common is they both have an absent parent. Hope we one day get an answer to what happened to Freddie's father.

[MarioYoshi]

As someone who also had their mom walk out of their life out of nowhere, I relate to Carly a lot, like having your older brother essentially also be your dad.
People always stereotype the dad as the one who leaves the family, but people forget the mom can do that too.

[nascarfanatic]

So Carly's mom bailed out on Carly, Spencer, and Mr. Shay? That explains a lot. Glad we finally got a backstory, and it's great that Carly (and Spencer) turned out so much better.

[lindseyd]

I love that this revival handles difficult issues. Speaking from having similar parental issues, Carly’s reaction is pretty realistic. Spencer has also been so amazing this season to Carly and Freddie. Creddie is also giving me major Mondler vibes. Like this parallels the season 5 finale of Friends. Please please give us a season 4! It can’t end this way.

[lateramae]

I appreciate the writers for finally giving an explanation to what happened to Carly and Spencer's mom.

[nightslayer]

The way Carly spoke about her mother shows how close they were and how much it effected her emotionally

[carterthiero]

16 years later and we finally hear about Carly & Spencer’s mom. Hearing Carly talk about her mom, realizing why the idea of marriage stresses her out, is because she’s worried she might do the same thing to Freddie, like her mom did to her, Spencer and their dad.

I’m guessing her mom either walked out on them, or cheated on their dad and walked out on them.

[outerspxces]

This explains a lot why Carly struggled with relationships all throughout the OG series and the revival. Her mother's abandonment left so many fears and scars on her, it made it really hard to romantically commit no matter how much she tried, so all those relationships eventually ended. Now with Freddie, Carly was finally able to get past a lot of her fears and insecurities and perhaps deep down she always knew that once she would allow herself to fall for Freddie, she would be all in as would he. If they got together, it would be forever and they just pretty much confirmed it.
Now I really hope she'll be able to get some closure regarding her mother in S4, whether they keep staying out of each other's lives or they stay in touch. She knows by now that she'll always have a family in Spencer and Freddie, as well as the rest of her loved ones.
