Carly's MOM Revealed?! 🥺 | Full Scene | iCarly

In 2007, we were introduced to Carly and Spencer Shay, who lived on their own in their Bushwell Plaza apartment. And while we met their dad in the very final episode of the original series, we never quite knew what happened to their mom - not only was she never in any episodes, but they never even seemed to talk about her! But 16 years later, Carly is finally ready to open up about her mother. Watch as we uncover one of the biggest iCarly mysteries of all time!

Can we all agree that Spencer is the best fictional big brother ever? Dude not only had to deal with their mom leaving them when they were young, but their dad being stationed overseas, and still took on the huge responsibility of raising Carly all on his own. That deserves massive respect in my mind.

This scene explains *so* much about Carly’s behaviour in original show: She constantly tried to avoid conflict, was a bag of anxiety, and was confirmed to have depression, this is the scene I didn’t know I wanted and is the maturity I had been waiting for from this revival!!

[@prismanic24]

Also her constant need for validation. It's amazing how much more layered Carly's character became after this episode.

[@oliversvoice4383]

Spencer, in one episode of the original series, says Carly “takes showers when she’s depressed”. Perhaps “confirmed” was the wrong choice of words on my part but I think it’s pretty heavily implied.

As someone who also had their mom walk out of their life out of nowhere, I relate to Carly a lot, like having your older brother essentially also be your dad. People always stereotype the dad as the one who leaves the family, but people forget the mom can do that too.

[@livinglifeenjoy]

When mothers are the one doing that, it’s even worse

[@JJ-yn4cj]

And most of the time it is the mom kicking out the guy for non abuse reasons.

[@FalconFlyer75]

It’s less expected I guess, u figure it’s harder for most mothers to do that to something they literally created, yes I know how sperm works (I’m a guy) but planting a seed vs birthing something….. it’s not hard to do the math on which gives the bigger emotional investment And when that isn’t enough for the parent to stick around, which one hurts worse?

[@gregorywolford6005]

Unfortunately mothers walkin’ out on their children happens more then you think. Some women don’t have hearts and they leave because they don’t want the responsibility anymore which is kinda messed up in my opinion

[@anishparajuli5218]

It also makes so much sense to why Carly never fully committed to any relationship, also adds a new layer to her friendship with Sam who also had an neglecting mother and why Carly so desperately pushed for Sam to get along with her Mother in that one episode.

[@Unversed333]

One thing Carly and Freddie have in common is they both have an absent parent. Hope we one day get an answer to what happened to Freddie's father.

And the way I see it, dad basically bailed to by running away to the military. Spencer took on responsibilities that he never should have had to.

[@carterthiero7633]

16 years later and we finally hear about Carly & Spencer’s mom. Hearing Carly talk about her mom, realizing why the idea of marriage stresses her out, is because she’s worried she might do the same thing to Freddie, like her mom did to her, Spencer and their dad. I’m guessing her mom either walked out on them, or cheated on their dad and walked out on them.

This show has been fantastic especially season 3. It's been so amazing seeing Spencer and Carly talk as adults after Spencer basically raised Carly in the first series. He's not only a brother but a father figure to her, and he always friendly and empathetic when she needs something. It's been so wonderful seeing a new side of Spencer in this series, he was always my favorite and still makes me laugh every week. All of this and Freddie/Carly's relationship has made this my favorite show lately, I BEG you Paramount give us season 4

[@lindseyd734]

I love that this revival handles difficult issues. Speaking from having similar parental issues, Carly’s reaction is pretty realistic. Spencer has also been so amazing this season to Carly and Freddie. Creddie is also giving me major Mondler vibes. Like this parallels the season 5 finale of Friends. Please please give us a season 4! It can’t end this way.

[@Itshlaandlaralover]

After 16 years she finally talks about her mom and now we finally know what happened to her now

[@outerspxces]

This explains a lot why Carly struggled with relationships all throughout the OG series and the revival. Her mother's abandonment left so many fears and scars on her, it made it really hard to romantically commit no matter how much she tried, so all those relationships eventually ended. Now with Freddie, Carly was finally able to get past a lot of her fears and insecurities and perhaps deep down she always knew that once she would allow herself to fall for Freddie, she would be all in as would he. If they got together, it would be forever and they just pretty much confirmed it. Now I really hope she'll be able to get some closure regarding her mother in S4, whether they keep staying out of each other's lives or they stay in touch. She knows by now that she'll always have a family in Spencer and Freddie, as well as the rest of her loved ones.

Now it makes so much sense why she and Spencer have commitment issues! It's not confirmed but their mom left them and why they probably moved to Seattle because Freddie's reaction to their mom was that of a stranger. Carly's so scared to lose Freddie since the OG because of her mom's abandonment. The first example I can think of is how she freaked out when she heard about Sam and Freddie's first kiss. She always goes angsty when she thinks that she can lose Freddie.

[@castleoffiction96]

[@carterthiero7633]

You know it just made me realize another thing that I feel should happened in Season 4 in iCarly, whenever they confirmed it. Since S3 ended with Carly and Spencer’s mom showing up at the wedding, that this could also lead Carly & Freddie to a more deeper connection, for Freddie to also talk about his Dad. Why I thought of that theory, is because just like Carly, Freddie NEVER once mentioned anything about his Dad, and I feel that like this cliffhanger will develop Creddie towards a much deeper connection for them to understand each other about one of their parents abandoning them. For Carly, Her Mom. For Freddie, his Dad It just makes so much sense don’t you think?

The only time Carly's mom was ever mentioned before this was in a DVD Extra by Spencer. He was questioned directly about where his mom was, and he replied, "I don't know. Probably out shopping." My theory is that their mom spent a bunch of money, money that the family didn't have, and was literally feeding her shopping addiction, so much so that it mattered more than her children. Because of this, she left, leading Spencer to become Carly's guardian.

That makes me happy because we’ll finally get to see what she looks like and find out why she abandoned them in the first place, but it also really upsets me because Carly was soooo happy in that moment about to marry her best friend and the love of her life and now that moment is crushed because her mom shows up after all these years. :(

Carly's mom sounds selfish Whatever the reason, ditching your kids is not okay. Spencer stepped up to the plate and he's the best brother

[@user-fv3si4xt2q]

Freddie had one of the biggest glowups I've ever seen in my life.

[@Reesej0520]

Just heard the news that this show got canceled. So, this cliffhanger will never be resolved 😢💔

[@Unversed333]

Unless they are planning some Paramount+ special like they did for Zoey 101.

[@AkaEagle1975]

It’s about time they reveal what happened to Carly and Spencer’s mom. I thought the day would never come.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

It's about time they finally revealed what happened to Carly and Spencer's mom, Just like many others I theorized that she either died or she just run out on them.

[@robervin9107]

Spencer has really stepped up in the reboot. Way more then the original in my opinion.

[@kitthekat04]

Carly and Spencer really remind me of myself and my older brother. We’ve been there for each other 😭

[@moonlight_sparkle6659]

Same here. My brother and I also have conversations like this since we have a dad who did something similar to us and it’s what makes us so close, he’s literally my best friend

[@bubblesbunnyful]

Paramount better renew them. They have been the best come back show I've seen so far.

[@jourlenchery792]

Yes! Carly is finally talking about what happened to her mom.

[@kyresejackson]

After all these years ❤

[@AbbacchioUzumaki_77]

I know she's sad about her mom, it's making me sad and cry..

[@superjackster0165]

For years, i always thought their mom had died before the events of the show. I never expected this to be the explanation

[@rjstorm54]

Same

[@pauloedley]

I just started the ep and I paused because I can't believe what I read in the title....they're finally going to talk about carly's mom....I can't believe it bro....I love this revival.

[@ronaldverdegaal9078]

I love that they kept the laugh track for the show. Brings back nostalgia

[@steventaylor7330]

I really hope we get further analyzation on Carly and Spencer’s mom because when I watch this episode last night I was shook

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

ITS ABOUT TIME CARLY'S MOM GETS MENTIONED!!

[@jmw9904]

I would suggest not putting reveal in the title since nobody was revealed.

[@nicksterbros.ultimate5292]

I totally thought that they were actually going to show her mom since we didn't get to see her in the series.

[@kylemorello4787]

Out of all the relationships on iCarly, Carly and Spencer's has always been my favorite

[@pierre2669]

Now we’ll never ever get to see because it got canceled 😿

[@user-fx9ho3cb4f]

When is season 4 they can't just tease something like that and leave us without answers

[@kevinchadwick9108]

It’s not happening the show was cancelled

[@Rymar101]

If Carly and Spencer's mom does show up, let's hope Spencer scolds her for whatever she did and that he practically raised Carly himself when their dad was away in the air force.

[@Unversed333]

I was literally thinking about how cool it would if the revival should address Carly's mother about a week ago. Did not expect it to happen here.

[@lulucalliope713]

Dear executives, Give the writers what they want so that the strike can end and we can get our favorite shows renewed, including season four of iCarly.

[@Book_Dragon2562]

It's the writers and SagAfra… anyone in the union who works during the strike or does promo events gets kicked out.

[@noahvoris3637]

I LOVE these two! One of the best fake siblings ever!

[@Gamemaster856]

A. We need more info about "What mom did" B. Now what happened to Freddie's dad?

[@videogameguy101]

🐝🐝🐝

[@gabrielsouto5869]

And sams dad

[@collettethecutekitten5305]

​@@gabrielsouto5869sams dad is mentioned multiple times but sam doesn't know where he is but clearly he left the cause in "ipartywithvictorius" when sam is trying to find proof that Steven is cheating on carly,Carly says "he told me I'm one of a kind" sam than replies with "yea,and my dad once told my mom he was coming back"

[@user-ci3kh6qo3x]

freddies dad left i guess because his mom is crazy

[@courtneymoore3177]

I thought maybe his dad died and maybe had alot of money he left them because of how much he once talked about something costing $900 and back in the 00's that was expensive.

[@manuel198623]

Too bad this reboot version is cancelled right now. We'll never know a revealed of Carly and Spencer mom. ☹

[@Unversed333]

This is a revival not a reboot.

[@superspiderfan2099]

Now it all makes sense their Mom left them I don’t understand how a woman could leave her kids behind

[@erinmallicoat4179]

Wow….never would’ve guessed she would talk about her mom

[@quinnquazy876]

i was all in tears so happy waiting for that moment only for it to be cut short so quick..... i really hope there will be a season 4 cant be messing with my childhood emotions here!

[@angji184]

Finally after 16 year Carly is talking about her mom
