User blog comment:DevonAndersen/Possible iCarly Episodes Without Carly?!?!?!/@comment-3553219-20110722013118

Yeah, I don't like the idea of an episode without any of the core three. I actually don't think its really just i*Carly* anymore. I think its an ensemble with all three main kids playing equally important roles. But, yeah, it takes all three. The episode without Sam was just felt wrong and even then they wanted to film a scene with her. And it was only Sam-less because Jennette was in the hospital. Point being, I don't think they would do episodes without Carly unless it was absolutely necessary. And Miranda is under contract so if they had to force the issue they could.

But, as was said below, they are probably filming around her not without her. She probably filmed all of her scenes already or will do so later (more likely the former). And they will have Carly be the B-plot.
