When Freddie hit Melanie in the arm, she rubbed her arm and said, "Ow."

I've noticed that some fans consider this an obvious clue that she couldn't possibly be Sam, because Sam would never admit that Freddie could cause her physical pain. Also, some viewers have pointed to the fact that Melanie is a soft, traditionally feminine girl as proof that she couldn't be Sam, because the tough, tomboyish Sam would never behave that way.

I would like to point out, however, that if Sam really [u]had[/u] been posing as a fictional twin sister in an attempt to prank Freddie, then it would only stand to reason that she would behave in ways that she normally wouldn't, as part of her disguise.

Do I believe that Sam would ever let on that Freddie had physically hurt her?

Well, let me ask you this : During the first two seasons of iCarly, would you have ever believed that you'd see the day that Sam Puckett would walk across a stage in a beauty pageant dress?

If it suited Sam's purposes to act like Freddie had caused her physical pain, then yes, I believe she would.

Honestly, I think that Melanie's very un-Sam-like behavior would have been the case regardless of whether she really existed or Sam was simply a very dedicated prankster.
