Trivia[]
- Had Carly not investigating the Arcadia Movement, the Dark Signers would have been understaffed; allowing the Signers the advantage.
- Carly was meant to continue having a romantic relationship with Jack in Season 2. However, her Japanese voice actress got involved with a scandal; so the writers phased out Carly due to connection.
