I agree in general. I don't think Carly would make a move anytime soon knowing Sam likes Freddie even if they weren't dating. Carly is not perfect. She can be selfish and can be a total brat if she doesn't get her way (but it doesn't come up much because she usually gets her way). But she tries to be a good person and loves Sam.

If she did I could absolutely see Sam trying to be nice and take it all in stride. Because really Carly is more of a sister to her than her own sister. But it couldn't last that long. Sam just doesn't have very good impulse control. And they have fought over a guy before and they were hardly in love with Shane. If Sam and Carly were a real thing that could last I can't picture Sam staying in the group. Which would kill the show.

In ISYL she knew what was happening wasn't real (Carly just thought she was in love) and that it wouldn't last. Or, to give Creddie the benefit of the doubt, she *thought* she knew that. And even then she still admitted to Freddie that it made her want to vomit blood, which has a totally different meaning given what we know now. Anything more permanent would kill her. Especially since she already has issue with always losing out to Carly.
