Freddie Benson

Fredward "Freddie" Benson (born February 4) is a main character and the technical producer of iCarly. This role includes being an administrator for the iCarly website, creating the special effects used on the iCarly webcast, editing film clips for the show, and operating the camera. Freddie is the oldest member of the iCarly trio and came up with the name iCarly for their webshow. Freddie is portrayed by Nathan Kress.

Biography
Like Carly, Freddie is shown to get high grades in school, although his talents are on a more technological basis; thus, he is somewhat of a nerd. When explaining a certain technology that Carly and Sam do not know about, he tends to speak in terms that neither Carly nor Sam can comprehend, and thus, this is one of the sources of Sam's constant ridicule of Freddie. He is shown as being a very effective producer, though he is given little credit for iCarly's popularity. Sam eventually somewhat realizes his vital role to the webcast when a girl named Valerie makes him her technical producer instead, and iCarly is greatly hindered as a result. It is also known that Freddie is interested in studying multiple foreign languages, including French, Spanish, and Portuguese. From the second season on, he is frequently heard exclaiming phrases in Spanish.

Freddie's relationship with his mother, Marissa Benson, is a very strained one. She means well, but can be overprotective, although they love each other. In iGo to Japan, it is revealed that he has a GPS chip in his head that his mother had implanted in him in Venezuela due to her overprotective behavior. Her constant overbearing eventually drove Freddie to temporarily move out of their apartment, and he remained there until his mother begged him to come back. Freddie agreed as long as she unblocked his favorite channels and left him alone in public. Freddie's relationship with Sam in the first season shows a strong dislike for each other. They have become more civil to one another as the series progresses to the point of them only arguing when they are around other people. Freddie constantly finds himself on the wrong end of Sam's demeanor and his near-psychotic mother's over-protectiveness. Throughout the series, Sam insults him, causes physical harm to him, or pulls pranks on him without hesitation, and also insults any girl who is attracted to him. But they both care for each other. Freddie gradually gets used to this so much so that in "iKiss", he stated that "his life would feel too weird if she didn't make him miserable all the time" and kisses Sam after they mutually compromise to "get their first kiss over with". In "iReunite With Missy", Sam asks for Freddie's help and when Carly finds out she says to Freddie, "You care about Sam" which shows that despite her constant abuse, he sees her as a good friend. In "iOMG", Freddie has a new app that tells people what mood they are in. Freddie tests it on Sam, and it said she was in love. He assumes it is their new intern, Brad, and tells Carly. But at the end of the episode Sam kisses Freddie, revealing she was in love with him. When the kiss is over Sam says, "Sorry." Freddie then says, "It's cool," with mixed emotions of confusion and gladness on his face. The episode ends with Freddie unsure of his feelings for Sam. "iLost My Mind" features them finally together, continuing "iOMG", when Carly sees Freddie and Sam kissing. Freddie kisses her live on iCarly at the end of the episode showing that he does, in fact, reciprocate Sam's feelings. Then in "iDate Sam and Freddie", they kept arguing, while having Carly help them get along. They eventually made up afterwards. In "iCan't Take It", Gibby and Freddie's mom try to break Sam and Freddie up by revealing to Freddie that Sam sabotaged his application for NERD (New Electronics Research and Development) Camp, thus ruining his chances of getting in. Freddie is devastated, leading him to seriously consider a break up, but Carly, feeling guilty about helping Mrs. Benson and Gibby and not wishing for her best friends to be unhappy, convinces Freddie that Sam would never try to hurt him and that she loves him. Freddie changes his mind and the two make up. In "iLove You", Sam and Freddie try each other's hobbies, which ends in disaster. They mutually decide to break-up, but decided that if they ever become mature about a relationship, they will get back together, and kiss for the last time.

In "iGoodbye", Freddie first assumes that Sam wants to reunite with him as a couple when she calls him, but then turns his attention to making Carly happy by offering to take her to the Father-Daughter Dance with Gibby, although both of them are rejected by Carly's sobbing. After Colonel Shay appears and escorts her to and back from the event, he announces he has to leave, eventually leading Carly to decide upon moving to Florence, Italy with him. In the studio, Freddie packs up his equipment, and starts telling Carly about helping Gibby take care of his new pet weasel when Carly places her hand on his. The two of them end up sharing a final kiss before she leaves.

In February 2014, Freddie guest stars in the crossover spin-off Sam & Cat episode "#TheKillerTunaJump" when Sam's new roommate Cat Valentine calls him over to Los Angeles in an effort to make Sam jealous in retaliation for Sam spending more time with her best friend Jade West. Jade then suggests Sam date her friend Robbie Shapiro to make Cat and Freddie jealous. When Cat argues with Sam over this, Sam says that Freddie is the only man she has ever loved, though tells a shocked Freddie that she was exaggerating to make a point. While talking with Robbie about this, Freddie comes close to admitting that he still loves Sam. After Sam rescues Freddie after he falls into a pit full of killer tuna fish, she apologizes to him and suggests they have fun with each other once he is released from the hospital.

In the 2021 revival, it is revealed that in the nine years since the webshow last went live, Freddie has been involved in a failed tech start-up and had two failed marriages, and has moved back in with his mother along with his adopted stepdaughter Millicent.

Physical Appearance
In Season 1, Freddie was short and had a small frame. Both Carly and Sam were taller than him. He also had spiky hair. He later has a growth spurt and becomes a little taller than both Carly and Sam. In Season 2, Freddie gets taller, looks slightly older, and his hair is flat. His hair also appears to be slightly lighter in the middle of the season. In Season 4, he becomes more muscular. His biceps become larger and his chest thickens and hardens, filling out his shirt. His hair is shorter and combed. He also has noticeable remnants of stubble because of Nathan Kress growing facial hair and shaving it.

Personality
Freddie is intelligent and gets good grades in school. He is sometimes described as "geeky" as he gets excited by technology and sci-fi. He is a member of the A.V. Club at Ridgeway Junior High School and a fan of World of Warlords (parody of World of Warcraft). Because of his love for computers, he became iCarly's technical producer, the one who builds and operates the technical equipment on iCarly, such as the green screen, the flat screen monitor (which he made move 18% faster), Sam's remote, and various special effects.

Freddie is generally calm and even-tempered when dealing with negative people or events. Freddie has very strong morals, and has trouble being mean, taking advantage of people, or lying. He can also be a little clumsy.

Freddie does have a somewhat devious side, especially when he wants to get back at Carly or Sam for something. This was shown in iStage An Intervention and iHire An Idiot. Freddie likes to believe that he is "bad", but his pranks and wrongdoings usually backfire somehow.

Freddie shares Spencer's enthusiasm for Galaxy Wars (parody of Star Wars). His interest is also shown in the decoration of his room and the fan-talk they share after Spencer buys a "Proton Cruiser" spaceship. In iHeart Art and iWas A Pageant Girl, he mentioned that he visits the Galaxy Wars Convention, and he has also been shown to have a laser gun and a stun blazer (which he shocked himself with when he thought he was dreaming). He also shares Spencer's love for World of Warlords as evidenced in iStart a Fanwar.

In iFence, it was shown he has great talent for fencing - just like his ancestors and his mother. However, his fencing has not been mentioned since, and it is likely he quickly lost interest in it. His mother also takes him to different sports activities, like synchronized swimming or tennis, much to his embarrassment. Interestingly, in numerous episodes, he's holding a fork or a pen with his left hand (such as in iHeart Art where he signs something with his left hand). In iFence, however, he is shown fencing with his right hand, and in other episodes always carries a camera using his right hand, which has led fans to think that he might be ambidextrous.

Freddie is multi-lingual. He blurts out random Spanish phrases every now and then and also speaks some French. Some iCarly fans theorize that Freddie's language abilits may be related to the tracking chip that Freddie's mom had inserted into his head when he was a baby. In iGoodbye, Freddie attempts to explain why he speaks Spanish so randomly, but he never finishes his explanation.

In some episodes, Freddie shows a rare case of somewhat violent and mean thoughts. In iWon't Cancel The Show, he is shown to be shaking in laughter at Gibby's discomfort of having to brush his teeth with mustard repeatedly. When Sam bothers him in iSell Penny-Tees, he slowly picks up a knife, but stops himself. In iPity The Nevel, he wanted Nevel to drink from the shoe Sam's foot had "been sweating in for over a year." In iOMG, he seems pretty amused by the fact that Sam posted the (obviously mean) pictures of what she'd drawn on Gibby's forehead on the internet.

Freddie lives with his overprotective mother Marissa Benson, who frequently embarrasses him. In iMove Out, Freddie gets fed up with his mom's behavior and moves out. At the end of the episode, he comes back on the condition that she never embarrass him in public again, and that she unlocks all the TV channels, although Marissa is hesitant to unlock the nature channel. As mentioned in iDate Sam & Freddie, he knows his mom put a chip in his head. In a recent iCarly.com interview with T-Bo, Freddie confesses to T-Bo that he has stage fright, although in iCook, Freddie (when he found out he was on TV), said "I'm Freddie Benson" in a nervous and rather amusing way.

In various episodes, he has been shown to be a caring person and true friend to both Carly and Sam. For example, in iReunite with Missy, he saw Sam's need for help, and secretly got rid of Missy for her by giving away his cruise vacation to Missy (also removing the problem of his absence from the webshow). On numerous other occasions, he does whatever he can to help both of his friends, and sometimes Carly's brother Spencer as well.

When he was younger, Freddie was portrayed as weak as he was easily overpowered by Carly. Later on, Freddie developed greater physical strength. In iScream on Halloween, he ripped a door knob off with his bare hands by accident. In iThink They Kissed, when Carly pinned him down, Freddie easily reversed it. In Season 4, his biceps looked a lot thicker than in the past. In iOMG, it took Sam a little longer than before to beat him in arm wrestling.

Carly Shay
(2005-Present; Best Friend, Former Crush, Ex-girlfriend, Neighbor) Freddie's massive crush on Carly was established in iPilot. Freddie has been shown to be extremely jealous towards any guy Carly was interested in. Despite her constant rejection, they became best friends. They have known each other since the sixth grade and are shown to care for each other very strongly, as they both stand up for the other one on a number of occasions. (See: Creddie Friendship)

Later, after Freddie saves Carly from being run over by a truck in iSaved Your Life, they begin dating. However, Sam convinced Freddie that Carly was only touched that he saved her life and wasn't in love with him, but what he did. They broke up afterward, but said they would be interested in going out again when Carly is over the "hero thing". Their relationship has been mentioned once since then in iApril Fools, but because this episode broke the fourth wall, this was generally ignored by viewers.

In iOpen a Restaurant, Freddie asks Carly, "Is it too late for you to love me?" out of nowhere. She did not answer because she was taken off guard and then they got interrupted. However, this leads many to believe that Freddie has feelings for Carly.

In the original series finale iGoodbye, Carly comes up to the iCarly studio while he is packing up. Carly stops him by placing her hand on his, and then she kisses him. Freddie returns the kiss, and as they are leaving the iCarly Studio, he is seen raising his hands up in a triumphant gesture.

In the revival series, Carly and Freddie reunite after almost 10 years and it explores their romantic relationship, according to Miranda Cosgrove.

In IRobot Wedding, Carly and Freddie share a romantic slow dance at Nevel Papperman's wedding, while she is wearing a wedding dress. A few episodes later, in iTake a Girls' Trip, Carly and Freddie end up going on a short get away together and wind up in a honeymoon suite. This causes a lot of sexual tension between the two, especially when Brooke thinks Carly and Freddie are having sex, and their past relationship is mentioned. In the season finale, there are hints to Carly and Freddie having feelings for each other again. When Wes and Beau tell Carly they love her, she looks directly at Freddie who looks like he wants to tell her he is in love with Carly too. The episode/season ends with Carly saying "and", whilst looking at only Freddie as if she wants to tell him she loves him or wants to be with him. (See: Creddie)

Sam Puckett
(2005-2014; Frenemies, Best Friends, Ex-Girlfriend) Sam and Freddie started as frenemies, but developed to best friends. As they grew older, they began hanging out without Carly much more frequently. Although they frequently tease each other, they can always rely on each other when they need help and always have each other's back. (See: Seddie Friendship)

In iKiss, Sam and Freddie shared their first kiss with each other after they agreed to do so just to get their first kisses over with. Freddie was later kissed by Sam in iOMG and it was revealed she had a major crush on him. They dated for a short while from iLost My Mind to iLove You, but broke up when they realized that they "didn't click". They did admit that they loved each other, but remained broken up. Their relationship evolved into a deeper version of their previous friendship: hanging out, exchanging barbs, etc. Their previous romance was brought up again in iPear Store when Sam mentions that she and Freddie dated for a while: "He's still in love with me, it's kinda sad". In iGoodbye, during an awkward phone call, Freddie asks Sam if she wants to get back together. Her answer is never fully established, as Freddie quickly changes the subject and they do not speak of it again. (See: Seddie)

Millicent
(Unknown-Present; Adopted step-daughter) Millicent and Freddie have a love-hate relationship, but Millicent eventually warms up to her new stepfather. In iFauxpologize, Millicent finds an old tweet from Freddie 8 years earlier saying he never wanted kids. This hurts Millicent's feelings, thinking her father regrets her. Freddie tries to make it up to Millicent and that he was young when he said it. Millicent takes advantage of Freddie kindheartedness for gifts. Over the course of the first season, Freddie and Millicent grow closer to each other and she calls him dad for the first time in INeed Space and then again in future episodes. Millicent also grows to really care for her father as she often worries about him and his career.

(See: Freddie and Millicent)

Spencer Shay
(2005-Present; Close Friend, Neighbor, Like-Brother)

Spencer seems to be something like a big brother to Freddie. Freddie usually asks him for advice (especially about girls) and enjoys hanging out with him when he needs "guy time" away from girls. We can also see that Freddie and Spencer work together as a team. Throughout the series, Freddie often looks up to Spencer as a big brother and they are shown to be really close.

In the revival series, Freddie is seen spending time with Spencer and helping him. Spencer often helps Freddie when it comes to his career and offers to invest in his new app idea. (See: Fencer)

Gibby Gibson
(2007–Present; Good Friends)

Before Gibby (Noah Munck) became a main character, Freddie barely interacted with him except for working on iCarly. The most notable situation between them was in iEnrage Gibby when Gibby thought Freddie tried to kiss his girlfriend. It is seen in many iCarly videos on their website that they hang out more. In Season 4, they are shown hanging out together in the episode iSam's Mom. In iGet Banned (Season 5), they form a fake band to get girls. (See: Fibby)

Minor Relationships
(In chronological order)

Valerie (2007)

Freddie had a brief relationship with Valerie in iWill Date Freddie, but broke up with her after learning that she was only using him to ruin iCarly for her own web show's gain. She was also mentioned in iKiss.

Shannon Mitchell (2008) Shannon had an unrequited crush on Freddie in iWin a Date. They went on a triple date (along with Carly, Gibby, Sam, and Reuben) at the Cheesecake Warehouse, during which Carly and Freddie tried to persuade Shannon to like Gibby (who had a crush on Shannon) instead, without success. Freddie obviously didn't like her; he did it out of friendship for Gibby.

Rona Berger (2008; Alternate Reality only) Rona was Freddie's girlfriend in the alternate reality of iChristmas. He seemed very unhappy in the relationship, as Rona was quite pushy, self-absorbed, mean,and obnoxious.

Melanie Puckett (2009)

In iTwins, Freddie (who believed that Sam's twin sister, Melanie, didn't exist and that Sam was simply playing a prank on him) asked Melanie for a date in an attempt to force her to admit that she was really Sam. During their date, Melanie tried to convince Freddie that she wasn't Sam by kissing him. Later, in iThink They Kissed, Freddie stated that he was pretty sure that the kiss was actually with Melanie and not Sam, although he said he was "still fuzzy on the whole Melanie thing." This indicated that he seems to have accepted Melanie as real, although in the actual episode Sam and Carly convince him she was just a fabrication..

Shelby Marx (2009)

Freddie had a crush on Shelby in iFight Shelby Marx. He made several awkward attempts to get her attention, but she repeatedly indicated that he was actually creeping her out.

Magic Malika (2009) An eccentric girl who likes to perform magic tricks, Malika was one of three girls who asked Freddie to the Girls' Choice Dance in iSpeed Date. He had no interest in her, but agreed to go with her because he had waited too long to respond to the other two girls (who had found other dates). The date did not go well, because she made Freddie's cell phone float and a smoothie explode. After that she disappeared and was never seen again.

Jamie (2009) Freddie mentions Jamie as one of the two girls who asked him to the Girls' Choice Dance.

Ariana (2009) Freddie mentions Ariana as one of the two girls who asked him to the Girls' Choice Dance.

Leslie (2010; Date) Freddie reluctantly agreed to go on a double date (along with Spencer) with Leslie in iWas A Pageant Girl. He showed little interest in Leslie, and both girls left after being ignored for most of the night, while Freddie and Spencer battled in the "Who am I?" game.

Sabrina Gibson (2010)

Freddie spent several nights video-chatting with Gibby's cousin, Sabrina, in iBeat the Heat. Despite some initial romantic interest, the two never became anything more than friends, because when they met in person, Freddie was put off by Sabrina's much greater height. (In the extended version of this episode, Freddie gave up his interest in Sabrina after she accidentally destroyed Carly's class project, indicating that he still had feelings for her at the time).

Three Unnamed Ridgeway Girls (2011) In iPity The Nevel A random group of three Ridgeway girls all mentioned they thought Freddie was hot at Nevel's "Karma" party after the Fredward Cullen sketch. They were again seen saying that he should do more Fredward Cullen sketches at the Groovie Smoothie before he went out with Patrice.

Patrice (2011) Patrice asked Freddie for a date in iPity The Nevel

after seeing his vampire impression on iCarly. However, when Gibby showed up (dressed as a werewolf) at the Groovie Smoothie while they were on their date, Patrice decided she was "more into the werewolf type", followed by Gibby entering the room dressed werewolf-like. When Freddie angrily shouts, "Gibby, you have a girlfriend!" Gibby responds with, "We're not exclusive." before he and Patrice leave the Groovie Smoothie together.

Freddie's random spanish outbursts
Freddie often speaks Spanish phrases and words throughout the iCarly series, some of which make sense, while most times it is random and does not pertain to the subject to which the other characters are speaking. His Spanish speaking is rubbing off on other characters, like Carly and Sam. There is an underlying reason to Freddie's random Spanish, a reason Dan Schneider said he would reveal in a Season 4 episode.[citation needed] A theory among fans is that the tracking chip implanted by Freddie's mother is malfunctioning. (The chip was inserted by a "questionable" Venezuelan doctor.) In the iCarly Series Finale, iGoodbye, Gibby asks Freddie why does he sometimes talk on Spanish. Freddie wanted to answer, but the guy at the kiosk interrupted him and it is never revealed why.

 * In iRescue Carly it was revealed that Freddie had formerly taken ballet lessons, most likely due to the fact that Mrs. Benson wanted a daughter.
 * Freddie and Gibby are the only main characters that did not have a birthday episode.


 * In iDate Sam & Freddie, it is revealed Freddie has lost some of his hearing. This became known when Sam revealed she first started liking him after she pushed him into a bike messenger. The bike messenger accidentally knocked Freddie down and his head hit a fire hydrant. He laid there moaning with blood coming out of his ears. Freddie personally believes it was worth the hearing loss.
 * His ex-girlfriend and best friend is Carly Shay.

 * His "before the start of the webshow" countdown ("In 5...4...3...2...!") can be considered a catchphrase, even outside the webshow. He used it in iWas A Pageant Girl, iGive Away a Car, and he mocked Sam for saying the "1" in iTake on Dingo ("You don't say the one!"). Also, in iHire An Idiot, he started the countdown, but as he reaches the end, Cort unexpectedly yells, "ONE!" much to his annoyance. This was reenacted in iLost My Mind, when Freddie does the countdown, and the mental patients shout "ONE!!!" Carly omitted the "one" when she did the countdown (iKiss). It's mentioned again in iChristmas when Carly explains that she doesn't understand why he omits the one, but she likes it anyway. Freddie does say the one in iFight Shelby Marx, but this is in a countdown to the end of a fight. He also skipped it when Sam rolls him from the couch in iStill Psycho. He also used it (without the one) in iFind Lewbert's Lost Love when he was about to roll the scene where Martha, Lewbert's ex-girlfriend was about to enter the building, much to Carly's annoyance. This countdown was also made the introduction in the iCarly opening theme.

 * Freddie has cried four times so far: in iWanna Stay with Spencer (because he was upset Carly was leaving); in iPromise Not to Tell (because he thought he was going to juvie); in iQuit iCarly (because he didn't want Carly and Sam to split up); and iFix a Pop Star (because he was forked in the shoulder and was under a lot of pain).
 * Freddie is allergic to bees (mentioned in iSpy a Mean Teacher) and onions (mentioned in Sam's Christmas Blog on iCarly.com).
 * The equipment on his cart includes an old TV antenna, a PlayStation Controller, and a dashboard. Most of the equipment on the cart are things Nathan Kress doesn't even recognize.
 * During the Drake & Josh days, Dan Schneider had cast Nathan Kress as Toplin, a nerdy boy who had a crush on Megan Parker (Drake's sister and Josh's stepsister, played by Miranda Cosgrove) in the episode "Battle of the Panthatar." However, when he saw the potential Kress had, he gave him a character on iCarly, this time as a boy who had a massive crush on Carly (also played by Miranda Cosgrove). As for Toplin's scenes, they were ultimately cut, because the producers were worried that the young Nickelodeon fans would be confused by seeing Nathan on Drake & Josh playing a character similar to Freddie.
