I don't think Sam HATES Carly. Her character may seem overshadowed, but Sam really cares about Carly. In a loose kind of way, she does seem like the girl next door, based on her being all tomboyish and Sam-like.. but Carly is your typical girl next door.. both literally and based on her characteristics.
