Dan Levy emotionally returned to the Ontario community where the popular TV series “Schitt’s Creek” was filmed. Visiting the location for the first time since the show concluded, Levy struggled to articulate his feelings. Standing in front of the former Rose Apothecary, the boutique shop his character David operated in Season 3, Levy tearfully expressed the difficulty of being back, especially with memories of his co-star Catherine O’Hara.
During an extended interview with CBS’s “Sunday Morning,” which aired recently, Levy discussed various topics including his new Netflix series “Big Mistakes,” his creative process, and his time in Toronto. However, the conversation also touched on O’Hara, who tragically passed away in January at the age of 71. The renowned Canadian comedic actress died due to a blood clot in her lung, a condition she had not disclosed publicly. O’Hara was known for her roles in iconic films like “Home Alone,” “Beetlejuice,” “Best in Show,” and, notably, “Schitt’s Creek,” where she portrayed the dramatic Moira Rose.
Levy reflected on the impact of O’Hara’s passing, acknowledging the emotional response it evoked in him. When asked about the possibility of a sequel or reboot of “Schitt’s Creek,” Levy somberly dismissed the idea, emphasizing the irreplaceable void left by O’Hara’s absence. He cherished the memories of the show and Moira’s unforgettable scenes, recognizing O’Hara’s unique talent and influence.
The interview also delved into Levy’s experiences working with O’Hara on “Schitt’s Creek,” highlighting some of their memorable moments on set. Despite the success of the show, which garnered numerous accolades, Levy remains focused on his upcoming Netflix sitcom “Big Mistakes,” scheduled to premiere on April 9. He expressed confidence in his new project, acknowledging the inevitable comparisons to “Schitt’s Creek” and emphasizing the importance of creating content that resonates personally.
As Levy navigates post-“Schitt’s Creek” endeavors, he remains grateful for the show’s success while honoring the legacy of his co-star and friend, Catherine O’Hara.
