EW plays a game of “he said/he said” with Dan Levy and Noah Reid.
Warning: This article contains spoilers for theSchitt’s Creekseries finale, “Happy Ending.”
Along the way, weve had the privilege of hearing them share a number of secrets.
Then, at moments just you’d look around the table and everybody was just in pieces.
It was probably a longer table read than usual.
We had a lot of crying pauses, and a lot of reaching for tissues.
Yeah, it was fun.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Did you cry?
I’m the least emotional of the cast, I would say, probably.
Being the glue of the situation.
And that’s what I sounded like.
REID:And sounds like, because Dan was fighting it so hard.
I think that’s the noise that rings in my head when I think of Dan Levy.
I think of this.
That’s what you want.
REID:It’s beautiful.
So Dan, at what point did you decide to keep me around?
When did you decide that it had to end here with getting engaged and married?
LEVY:That’s a really fascinating question.
There’s a chance that we wouldn’t have chemistry.
There’s a chance that it just would fizzle out and die.
And also a little-known fact, we did not have any chemistry tests.
You were hired off a tape.
I wasn’t even in the room while you auditioned.
You refused to come to my audition.
LEVY:Yes, because I heard you were super-high-maintenance.
REID:Do you know when you knew?
Was there a definitive moment where you were like, “He’s staying”?
Let’s give him another season, see what happens."
REID:That’s nice.
I’m glad I got to stay.
How would you describe my wedding look?
REID:Vampire highlander.
REID:What do you think?
LEVY:I don’t think it’s too far off base.
I think to really make it vampire, there would’ve been some sort of lace cravat or something.
It’s almost like, yeah.
It was like a… yeah, the highlander part.
I mean, I was wearing a kilt.
REID:Highland goth?
Yeah, that I’ll go with.
That, I think, is the most accurate.
We got there eventually.
REID:I don’t think that Dan will ever forgive me forMariah Careytweeting my face instead of his.
I will be sort of in the background being like, “Can I come too?”
Ultimately, why not?
Why not celebrate Mariah?
LEVY:The Alexis-Ted revelation was a four-season arc.
I did mean it at the time, but so much changes.
ANNIE MURPHY:Dan was like, There’s going to be a double wedding.
It’s going to be Ted and Alexis and Patrick and David.
I was like, Yay, I can’t wait!
That’s going to be a perfect ending to the show.
[When it didnt happen,] I was furious.
I threatened to quit the show and didn’t follow through on it.
DUSTIN MILLIGAN:Here’s what I’ll say about Dan: He has a lot of great ideas.
Because Annie and I were, to be honest, we were quite looking forward to that.
I’ve been doing this like 13 or 14 years, and it’s rare that that happens.
Usually, everyone’s faking it, that’s chemistry, but Annie and I, it was real.
What happened and why would you say that?
And that is why I did not do it.
REID:It wasn’t because you didn’t want her stealing your thunder on your wedding day?
LEVY:It was definitely because of that too, but this is the answer I’ll use today.
