@ Slicknickshady :

Actually, it is speculation.

You're looking at the events, interpreting them, and drawing your own conclusion about the most likely state of Carly and Freddie's feelings for each other. You don't know for a certainty that it was hero worship. That's just what it looks most likely to be, from your point of view, and others who look at it the way you do.

Also, you keep saying that Carly and Freddie didn't get back together after the cast came off.

The thing is, Carly and Freddie did not agree to reconsider their relationship after the cast came off. They agreed to wait until the "hero thing" wore off.

That's not a semantic difference. The cast was gone by the next episode, but there was no way to know how long it would take for Carly's emotional state to subside.

At any given time, Freddie can't know what Carly's state of mind is like. He may have been waiting for Carly to come to him and say that she's made a decision.

Sometimes, it's hard for people to know what's going on in their own heads. Carly may have had a hard time figuring out whether or not the "hero thing" had really worn off for her, or whether she still felt the same way about Freddie.

She might have been afraid that if she approached Freddie about this too soon, he would think she was still caught up in the "hero thing." And then, the longer she waited, the harder it became to bring it up at all. It might just have been easier for Carly to keep putting it off rather than deal with it.

There are other possibilities as well. For example, Carly may have wanted to get back together with Freddie, but was afraid that if their relationship failed, it would destroy a friendship that was extremely important to her.

Another one : I remember reading a fan fiction story once that speculated that the reason Carly and Freddie never resolved their relationship status after iSYL was because HE was waiting for her to make a decision about whether she still wanted to be with him, while SHE was waiting for him to ask her out again ... Yeah, that's what happens when people don't talk to each other.

Finally, I think we all agree that we don't want drama to ruin the show, or Carly, Sam, and Freddie's friendships with each other. But that doesn't necessarily mean that Dan Schneider cannot have Carly and Freddie still have feelings for each other, or for a love triangle to develop.

I already stated my views on this earlier, and I still believe it's possible for Dan Schneider to create that love triangle and still keep things comedic and light-hearted.

Realistic? No.

But if iCarly was realistic, then Freddie would have been in the hospital at the end of iMeet Fred.
