User blog comment:The Sam Puckett/Why Carly Is NOT Going To Make A Move On Freddie After iOMG/@comment-3553219-20110510054515

I think the strongest point, and I absolutely agree with it, is that the problem with any love triangle is that it takes away from the strong bond of Carly and Sam. I think the Cam friendship is really the heart of the whole show. And it is the one thing that has been completely consistent. Even when they fight its traumatic to both of them. Carly would never set out to hurt Sam (and vice versa).

That being said I could see Carly "ruining" a date. I also really like Carly a lot. But she isn't perfect (which is good a perfect character is boring). And one of her flaws is that she does like the attention Freddie gives her even if she doesn't return those feelings. And I think she also likes being the most important relationship in Sam's life too. I don't think she would ever say to herself I am going to sabotage Sam and Freddie. I could see her having a lot of trouble coming to terms with a drastic change in their relationship. And try to insert herself in their private moments. Not out of romantic jealousy but because she doesn't want things to change. And she doesn't like being left out.

Sam and Freddie are the two most important people in Carly's life (other than her brother). If they pair up she could feel like she won't have anyone. I could see her reacting negatively to that even if she would never intentionally set out to hurt anyone.
