Nathan Kress has been at the center of “The Great iCarly Debate” for close to 10 years — and it doesn’t seem to be ending any time soon.
That can be a blessing and a curse all at the same time, so Nathan opened up to Seventeen.com about who he really feels that Freddie should’ve ended up with — NO ONE!
“I get that there’s merit to both sides, but if this was actual real life and not a sitcom, I really don’t think that Freddie should end up with either one of those girls,” Nathan shared.
He adds, “There’s a lot of reasons why neither relationship actually makes sense. Just knowing what I know about real-life relationships and what’s important, I don’t really see many of those things in either one of those relationships.”
Nathan even has a solution to get Freddie out of the triangle once and for all: “If Nathan and Freddie sat down and had lunch, and he was talking to me about these girls that he just couldn’t decide between and there were so many great things about both of them, knowing what I know, I would probably recommend he move to another country that’s not Italy.”
“Just start over and find a girl that is actually into him without having to push himself in front of a taco truck, and also one that does not constantly verbally and physically abuse him.”
TELL JJJ: Who do you think Freddie should be with – Sam or Carly?
In the episode, the Game Shakers crew set out to discover if Freddie really loved Carly or Sam by tracking down Nathan.
Obviously, the cast had to nosh on some of iCarly‘s spaghetti tacos, which Carly’s brother Spencer created on the show.
Some very observant fans also eyed that Nathan‘s hotel room number was 8-D, which was also Freddie’s apartment number on iCarly.
The Game Shakers ep also featured dachshunds artwork in Nathan‘s room, which was prevalent in lots of iCarly episodes. They even mentioned iCarly‘s resident hot senior, Gary Wolf!
Who knew all those little nods to the iconic series were hidden in Game Shakers!?
We still can’t get over the fact that it’s been 10 whole years since iCarly premiered on Nickelodeon!
Nathan Kress, who starred on the show from its first episode in 2007 to the season finale in 2012, took to Twitter on Friday (September 8) to thank fans for the amazing experience.
“10 years ago today, everything changed,” he wrote. “I will forever be grateful for the cast, crew, and fans that made the iCarly saga so incredible.”
“Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart for letting us into your homes & lives for the past decade,” he added. “It’s been a truly unforgettable honor.” (ICYMI, see what he recently had to say about a possible reunion episode!)

Can you believe that it’s been 10 years since iCarly premiered on Nickelodeon?!
Nathan Kress spoke with Seventeen about the show’s legacy and if a reunion would be on its way soon.
“It’s weird, I was thinking about it this morning, what it would be like for us to do a reunion episode? Because honestly, as tempting as it is to get the band back together and do all that stuff, I think all of us would probably be just a little bit worried that the expectation would be so impossibly high that we would never be able to satisfy everyone.”
Nathan adds, “It wouldn’t just be bringing iCarly together – it would be bringing iCarly together to make an episode better and funnier than any iCarly episode that was ever made.”
Talk about pressure!
But, Nathan says never say never, because it could actually happen one day.
“It would really come down to an outrageously good script,” Nathan shared. “And not only one that I thought was really good, but one that every single person in the cast could get behind.”
“If there was such a script, then it certainly wouldn’t come down to whether or not I had any desire to do it because the thought of getting everyone back together again would be awesome. I would love it.”
The two actors, who will be starring on a special Game Shakers that pays homage to iCarly this weekend, took their battle of the fandoms to The After Party.
During the ep, while the network stars give fans a sneak peek at behind-the-scenes secrets from upcoming episodes, and play some crazy challenges together, Nathan and Cree are going head to toe in an epic battle.
It’s iCarly‘s biggest fan (Cree) versus Game Shakers‘ biggest fan (Nathan).
