User blog comment:Chaos Red/I Don't Hate Carly But I Don't Love Her Either/@comment-3553219-20110519015802

I agree with others that the first season and a half Carly was just dull. But by now she is pretty great. She is funny in a very dry and sarcastic way that I love. She is goofy. She is flawed in that she can be bratty and self-centered but that just makes her more real. Carly is perfectly capable of being just as mean as Sam, which she shows sometimes. But she doesn't have to be. She can be sweet because Sam will be mean for her if needed.

I am a Seddie fan. But I really dislike how some people in the ships turn against which ever girl is left out. The most important relationship on the show is the Carly/Sam friendship. Its the relationship that has been the most developed. And its really special if you look at it. Few female relationships on kids shows (or any shows) are as layered and deeply emotional as this one. There are things that are more important in life than boys and allowing the show to revolve around who wins Freddie really undermines an important friendship.
