Shay Family Members

Some members of Carly and Spencer´s family are never seen on the show.

Steven Shay
Colonel Steven Shay is the father of Carly and Spencer. He is a colonel in the U.S. Air Force and currently on a tour of duty in a United States submarine somewhere near Anchorage, Alaska. It has been implied he may be in some kind of classified work. This is assumed because Spencer mentions to Carly in iWon't Cancel The Show, that she probably shouldn't give away their father's current position.

Dan Schneider, the producer of iCarly, cleared up the confusion about if he was in the Navy, or in the Air Force; he was in the Air Force on a Navy Submarine (in real life, an airforce Colonel would not be stationed on a Submarine; more likely a navy plane). 1

He is also known to have an attitude towards Spencer when he is talking on the phone (such as when Spencer was talking to him about oystamato and he said he didn't care).

Spencer never told him he dropped out of law school.(iSpace Out)

Mrs. Shay
Mrs. Shay is the mother of both Carly and Spencer Shay. Nothing is known about her, as the creator, Dan Schneider, tends to leave out details of absent parents.

During a Youtube video of Jerry Trainor, he was asked where Carly and Spencer's mother was, and he responded "I don't know, shopping I guess" (laughing).

In the episode iStake out when Mrs. Benson says to Spencer, "Spencer change your shirt!", he says "You're not my mother!"

Some fans think that she is deceased, but no information about her has been given out.

Gramma Shay
Gramma Shay is the paternal grandmother of Carly and Spencer Shay. She is never mentioned on the show.

Great Grammy Shay
Great Grammy Shay is Carly and Spencer's great grandmother. Her diamond trimmed watch was destroyed in a fire in iGot A Hot Room and Spencer got $82,000 for it, and spent it all on Carly's room. Apparently, Carly and Spencer never went to her funeral.
