Kudos to Schitt's Creek


Are you watching Schitt's Creek? Although the Canadian series made it's debut in 2015, it wasn't until last Christmas that I got on the bandwagon. It of course had to do with a favorite hunk. While I was putting together my 12 Days of Christmas series, I featured actor Steve Lund (HERE:) after seeing him in the holiday film Christmas Incorporated.


Googling Steve Lund, hot shirtless shots from his his guest starring role in Schitt's Creek came up. In a multi episode arc in season 2 and 3, Lund played Jake, a Schitt's townie trying to form a throuple with David (Dan Levy) and his Stevie. (Emily Hampshire) Sadly, both David and Stevie were grossed out at the thought, despite their own confused relationship with one another.

Jennifer Robertson, Tim Rozon and Chris Elliott.

That story line is just the tip of the crazy iceberg of stories for video store magnate Johnny Rose (Eugene Levy) and his ex-soap star wife Moria (Catherine O'Hara) and their children David (Dan Levy) and Alexis. (Annie Murphy) When Johnny loses the family fortune, are forced to move into a rundown motel in Schitt's Creek, a town Johnny had previously purchased for a low low price.

The show is hilarious! Created and written by SCTV alum Eugene Levy and his son Dan, every character is a stand out from the four main leads down to every waitress, garage owner and town council member who interact with them. Dan Levy's David is center, but between the cast it is almost impossible to pick a favorite. Eugene Levy is quietly hilarious, O'Hara, always over the top fun, especially her 'in and out' accent. Dan Levy' facial expressions are priceless and Annie Murphy is a star.

The season just wrapped it's fourth season, but if you haven't seen it yet, find a way to binge from the beginning, I don't think you'll regret it. The relationships are key and all of them, Johnny and Moria, Johnny and David, Moira and Alexis, David and Stevie, Johnny and Twyla and so many more are at the heart of the show's humour and heart.

Steve Lund

Although it was Steve Lund (below) and his chest that finally pushed me to start watching, in addition to the great writing and acting, there are several other hunks that will grab your attention! I posted a bit more about hunky farm hand Mutt (Tim Rozon) and sexy town vet Ted (Dustin Milligan) in the post below.

Your post needs to be updated to add David's beau - Patrick, played by Noah Reid.
