Shane is Freddie Benson's "nerd" friend in the Season 2 episode, iSaw Him First. At first, Carly and Sam believe he's a nerd because he is a member of the AV club with Freddie, but when they find out that he's attractive, they compete for his affection. Then things go haywire, resulting in Carly and Sam getting into an argument, and eventually Shane falls down the elevator and develops a fear of talking to girls with the name "Carly" or "Sam."
Shane is played by James Maslow, who is also known for being "James Diamond" in Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush.
Kissing Contest: Who does Shane like: Carly or Sam?
Since Carly and Sam both saw him first at exactly the same time, they decide that whoever kisses him first gets to date him. They eventually start fighting, and Shane begins to like neither. He then falls down an elevator and is taken to the emergency room. The doctor then finds a note in Shane's pocket (mentioned in an iCarly blog):
Can break in anywhere with just a library card, spit, and string cheese
Only scares MOST children, NOT ALL
Is "challenging"
Was nowhere near Gibby's lunch sack when it blew up
Can be easily calmed down with a bag of barbecue corn chips
Many older iCarly fans liked him paired with Wendy.
iKissed Him First Game
There is an online game for players called "iKissed Him First" based on "iSaw Him First." You have to drag Carly's lip kisses to Shane when Shane's heart points to pink color, and you have to drag Sam's lip kisses to Shane when Shane's heart points to blue color. If you make a mistake, he will get confused more and more with a "?" sign over his head.
