Creddie

Creddie is the het ship between Carly Shay and Freddie Benson from the iCarly fandom.

Canon
It is not known exactly how and when Carly and Freddie met, however Freddie fell in love with her at first sight and declared himself asking her to become his girlfriend. Carly, however, has always politely refused and the two have managed to become friends anyway.

Season 1
Freddie often shows total adoration towards Carly, Freddie, rushing to pick up something from her, looking through the peephole of his house to see her return home (the two live opposite each other). These things might seem creepy, but Carly doesn't seem too bothered and tries to get Freddie to forget about his crush, but he seems to be able to accept that she only wants him as a friend. Carly has to film auditions for the school talent show and when her brother can't give him his, he borrowed his camera from Freddie. The guy then brings her a lot of audiovisual equipment (he is a huge tech enthusiast)

Freddie then immediately gets into an argument with Carly's best friend, Sam, as she teases him and decides to leave, but Carly quickly convinces him to stay.

In a moment of hiatus, Freddie shoots Carly (and Sam, but only because he was close to her). By mistake, the brunette also uploads the video of the two of them online, making fun of a teacher and getting a lot of views.

At the request of Carly and Sam, Freddie deletes the video, but the success was such that Carly decides to start a webshow and Freddie proposes the name "iCarly" for the webshow, and proposes to take care of the technical part. At the end of the first episode, the three (plus one of the guests of the day) give each other a group hug.

The trio is still celebrating when they discover they've gotten 37,000 hits. Then they throw a party to celebrate the event.

When Sam criticizes Carly's spaghetti, Freddie defends them by saying he likes them that way, probably so as not to hurt the girl's feelings. He is also the only one who is enthusiastic that she cooked them, a sign that he has faith in Carly. Carly then approves of Freddie's plan for more views. Freddie, however, quietly agrees to work with Spencer, Carly's brother as well as with Carly herself. Carly also shows that she doesn't like Sam and Freddie.

Sam and Carly's attempt fails miserably and Freddie, certain of winning the race, claims to be sorry only for Carly (the losers will have to pay a pledge). Carly later admits that Spencer and Freddie's idea is great and the brunette thanks her.

For the next installment of the show, the group gets footage from fans, but thousands arrive and are forced to spend hours watching videos. As they watch the videos, Carly and Freddie mostly agree with the ratings. When Carly and Sam are impressed by a cute boy's dance, Freddie becomes jealous. Eventually the trio falls asleep on the couch and everyone has dance-related dreams. Freddie dreams of beating the guy who impressed the brunette in a fight and getting a hug from her. In reality Carly fell asleep leaning on Freddie's chest.

When Freddie gets involved in a fight, Carly stops her and saves him. She however she thrilled by a gossip, she forgets about him and she runs away, while she was helping him to his feet.

Freddie is jealous when Jake, an attractive boy, visits Carly and tries unsuccessfully to stop him from entering the house. However, he doesn't seem to be too angry. Later Jake offers to sing about iCarly and Carly accepts. When he finds out that Jake is good at a lot of cool things, Freddie is downright angry and very happy, finding him terribly out of tune (sounds good, but he has a horrible voice). Unable to cancel the performance and not wanting Jake to look terrible on the web, Carly begs Freddie to fix his voice on the computer. Freddie doesn't want to know, but accepts in exchange for a kiss. Carly initially refuses but then accepts to give him a peck on the nose.

Eventually Freddie's gesture is further rewarded, as Jake reunites with his ex Stephanie, having believed that he and Carly were a couple.

Seeing an episode of the show, in which Carly risks getting hurt by Spencer, Carly's grandfather decides that her granddaughter is not doing well with her older brother and believes she would be better off living with him in Yakima. Carly's father abroad on business agrees and Freddie is very sad and angry. Upon departure, Freddie refrains from crying hard and hugs Carly tightly. Later he even comes to hug her leg.

Eventually the grandfather changes his mind and a very happy Freddie hugs his leg as well.

Carly is interviewed by Nevel one who runs a hugely popular site that talks about what's interesting on the web. Nevel is actually a little boy attracted to Carly who kisses her (on the cheek) treacherously. When he finds out Freddie gets angry, even though he seems interested in imitating him.

On Halloween, Freddie's mother makes her son a witch costume. When she sees him, she Carly tries hard not to laugh in his face and when Freddie says she promised to put the costume on the show, she Carly comments that she feels sorry for him. The two discover that there is a mystery surrounding apartment 13 B of their condo and Carly decides to shoot the iCarly Halloween episode there. Freddie objects, but in the end he lets himself be persuaded. The trio is terrified of some strange happenings in the apartment, which turns out to be still inhabited, but no one makes fun of anyone else for being scared. Despite the bad experience, when Carly proposes to spy on a very bad teacher of theirs as the topic of the next episode, Freddie and Sam like the idea.

While they spy on their teacher, Freddie frightened by a bee enters her house. Carly follows him and to avoid getting caught, the two hide in a closet. Freddie tries to take advantage of the fact that they are alone in a small space, but annoyed Carly replies that this is not the time to be cheesy. Freddie then proposes to wait for the woman to leave the room and then run away, but Brigs starts to exercise. Both are later baffled and disgusted by Brigs' obsession with Randy Jackson. Eventually they get busted because of Freddie, but Carly doesn't blame him.

When a girl considers Freddie cute and Sam comments offensively that it's impossible and Carly forces her to stop. This girl, Valerie accepts Carly's offer to go out with him, and Freddie asks Carly, "Won't you be jealous?" before accepting. Carly prevents Freddie's mother from ruining the date and prevents Sam from increasing Freddie's nervousness and spying on him. But when the blonde spies on the brunette using the webcam, without him noticing it, Carly agrees to spy on her friend even if she says it is wrong. Freddie and Valeria start dating and Carly initially seems happy for Freddie. But Valerie decides to do a web-show herself and convinces Freddie to leave iCarly to work with her. The brunette is upset and summoned Sam tries to make him change his mind. Freddie and Valeria start dating and Carly initially seems happy for Freddie. But Valerie decides to do a web-show herself and convinces Freddie to leave iCarly to work with her. The brunette is upset and summoned Sam tries to make him change his mind. Carly initially agrees with Sam when she tells her friend to leave Valerie, but soon after she admits that it's only fair that Freddie wants to help his girlfriend and not the two of them. Even though he's clearly sorry and embarrassed, Freddie appreciates Carly's behavior and at least finds her and Sam another technician. The show goes awful, and Valerie also suggests that Sam come and work with her. Carly gets furious knowing that Valeria is just taking advantage of Freddie and she tries to warn him. But the boy doesn't believe her. When Valerie tries to ask Freddie to get Sam to come and work with them, he realizes her friends were right and leaves her and the show.

Freddie however refuses to go back to iCarly, because he declares that Valerie was right in saying that he is not deemed important to the show. Distraught Carly says that she has always recognized the importance of her contribution, and Freddie admits it, but he also demands an acknowledgment from Sam and the brunette forces the blonde to give it to him. When after hugging young Benson, Sam smutks him, Carly appears distraught. Carly and Freddie decide to break the record for the longest online broadcast, which means broadcasting continuously for more than twenty-four hours and eight minutes. This involves a lot of effort, which Freddie is ready to make for the brunette. Carly mentions Freddie from the start of the show and credits him with a gimmick in keeping her and Sam awake. Carly also allows Freddie to talk about technology during the show, as he so much wanted to do (after an initial refusal). Eventually due to bad luck, the team doesn't break a record, but beats one Spencer making them take their guinness photo with him and Carly and Freddie pose close together.

Nevel sabotages the site by infiltrating Freddie's computer and since they should suspend the show, until he can resolve the situation and a famous band, should play iCarly, young Benson decides to give Nevel tit for tat, sabotaging his site. When Freddie is attacked by Nevel's grandmother after the trio infiltrates his home, Carly and Sam rescue him. Sam, following a fortuitous circumstance, manages to change Carly and Freddie's grades for the better. The two are strongly opposed and work together to remedy. Unfortunately they are discovered and almost arrested, managing to get away only thanks to a lie, made at the last moment. Interestingly, they react the same way and behave like a married couple under these circumstances.

Later they both feel guilty and get angry at the blonde. Out of guilt, Carly doesn't sleep a wink at night and the next day Freddie notices that she looks awful. Carly sarcastically comments that it is a pleasure to hear and the brunette apologizes immediately, but she tells him that it is not important. Worn out with remorse, Carly decides to confess everything to the principal, and to her surprise she discovers that Freddie has already taken the blame, but then Sam decides to confess.
