Before the series finale on April 7th, as they were preparing to to say goodbye, the cast of “Schitt’s Creek” played “How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star” for Variety magazine.
Dan Levy, Annie Murphy, Eugene Levy, and Catherine O’Hara were asked a bunch of questions to find out just how well they know each other after filming “Schitt’s Creek” for six seasons.
“What came the most naturally was Alexis,” said Dan. “The stories, the backstories, the celebrity sightings, the hookups…” -when asked which was his favorite character to write for. Dan revealed that while he likes to write for Moira (played by O’Hara) it was Alexis, Murphy’s character, that came the most naturally for him.
“So familiar to you all of that,” said Murphy jokingly. Dan responded with, “They were all my life stories and I just gave them to the character.”
As the beloved cast went on to share their insights behind playing their characters, O’Hara revealed her favorite Moira wig was the pink one. Eugene, co-creator and Dan’s dad, also shared that he dreaded filming “The Drip” opening scene, from season one, episode two.
The “A Little Bit of Alexis” song, which was performed by Alexis in the fifth season, was a detail of the character Dan actually wrote down before the show even aired.
“A Little Bit of Alexis’ was one of the first character details I jotted down when we were brainstorming the character of Alexis, in my dad’s living room seven years ago,” shared Dan.
