I know they will never do this but I always thought it would make the most sense if Mrs. Benson was never married (they just call her Mrs. out of respect) and had Freddie through artificial insemination. It just seems *so* her, you know? To have to control everything about the birth that she wouldn't even want another person involved. Again, that is just fun speculation not something I think they will ever say.

But back in reality, yeah we just never know. I think it is a good bet that his Dad is dead. And part of the reason she is so crazy is because his early death really messed her up. She is terrified something bad will happen to Freddie too. They could be divorced. Freddie could even go to meet his Dad on weekends all of the time and we just don't know it. We don't know about a lot of their life. Sam spends time with her family we never see, Freddie has a million clubs he is in that we never see etc.

I think it is very obvious from the family set up that Carly's mom is dead. I think even before we knew for sure it was very obvious that Sam's dad left them (just from the way her family was). But with Freddie it could be anything.
