When the Rose family first landed in Schitt’s Creek, friendship wasn’t exactly part of the plan. The town felt a little too quirky, the locals a little too warm, and the motel they were stuck in didn’t scream comfort. The Roses kept to themselves. The townspeople mostly stayed polite, if amused.
In Schitt’s Creek, it felt like two completely different worlds, awkwardly circling each other. But slowly, something changed. Between the dry comebacks, offbeat community events, and minor cheese-related crisis, walls started to come down. People softened. Weird bonds formed.
What began as a punchline of a real estate disaster quietly turned into something real. And at the center of that shift? The friendships - odd, charming, and completely unexpected.
What’s great about Schitt’s Creek is how quietly the characters change. There are no dramatic makeover montages or sudden emotional speeches. Just small moments, side glances, a favor here and an unexpected confession there. Here are ten friendships that surprised everyone - even the characters themselves.
8 friendships that grew unexpectedly on Schitt’s Creek
1) David and Stevie
When David and Stevie first met in Schitt’s Creek, things were mostly quiet glares and sarcastic jabs. They shared a wall at the motel, and not much else. David thought Stevie was standoffish.
Stevie thought David was high-maintenance. But slowly, their banter turned into real talk. Stevie let David in when she didn’t let many others. David supported Stevie when she doubted herself. They also navigated romantic weirdness.
And in the end, they landed somewhere solid. They weren’t just roommates or business partners. They became chosen family. The kind that doesn’t need a label to be real.
2) Alexis and Twyla
At first, Alexis barely saw Twyla as anything more than the girl who worked at the café. But Twyla kept showing up. She was sweet, endlessly positive, and totally genuine. Over time, that started to mean something.
They had honest chats. Alexis talked about her past. Twyla, who had a past of her own, listened with zero judgment. They didn’t hang out constantly, but there was always kindness between them.
And when Twyla gave Alexis a generous check to help her start fresh. Though Alexis refused, it was a quiet, thoughtful gesture that perfectly captured the growth in their friendship. That’s friendship at its purest in Schitt’s Creek.
3) Johnny and Roland
Johnny and Roland weren’t a natural match. Johnny liked clean suits and clean language, while Roland liked beer, crude jokes, and showing up uninvited. But when they started working together on the motel, something changed.
Johnny learned to look past Roland’s chaos. Roland learned to take Johnny seriously. They found a rhythm. It wasn’t always smooth, but it worked. There were phone calls at odd hours, unexpected advice, and even a few shared laughs.
They were never going to be best buddies unlike others in Schitt’s Creek, but they became reliable to each other. That was more than enough.
4) Moira and Jocelyn
Moira thought Jocelyn was too chipper. Jocelyn thought Moira was a little much. But in Schitt’s Creek, Jocelyn kept inviting her to things anyway: Book clubs, baby showers, choir rehearsals. Eventually, Moira gave in.
They got to know each other through awkward singalongs and tense lunches. Somewhere along the way, a soft sort of friendship formed. Jocelyn gave Moira a glimpse of regular life. Moira gave Jocelyn permission to be a little extra.
They weren’t close in the traditional sense, but they did show up when it mattered the most. Sometimes, that’s all it takes.
5) Johnny and Stevie
Johnny saw something in Stevie before she saw it in herself. At first, Stevie thought he was just a bored businessman. But once they started working side by side at the motel in Schitt’s Creek, a partnership took shape.
Johnny became a steady voice. Stevie learned to lead. They leaned on each other more than they admitted. No big speeches. Just little moments that added up over time. Johnny didn’t just help run the motel. He helped Stevie believe she could run it, too.
6) David and Patrick
Before they fell in love, they became friends. That’s what made their relationship so steady. Patrick helped David open the Rose Apocathery. They learned how to lean on each other.
David wasn’t used to kindness without strings. Patrick gave him that. Patrick wasn’t used to someone challenging him in the best ways. David offered that in their relationship. Before the proposals and dances, there were quiet moments filled with laughter, eye rolls, and mutual respect. Their friendship was the root of everything else.
7) Moira and Stevie
Moira didn’t pay Stevie much attention at first. But when Stevie offered help during auditions and showed up during Moira’s more dramatic breakdowns, a new connection started forming.
Moira became a bit of a mentor - not the conventional kind, but the kind who sees potential where others don’t. Stevie, in turn, gave Moira real feedback and space to be honest. Their friendship wasn’t showy, but it was full of mutual care. Sometimes that’s more than enough.
8) Alexis and Ted
Before they became a couple, Ted and Alexis were just two people trying to figure themselves out. He was thoughtful, maybe to a fault. She was all over the place, but not without charm. On paper, they didn’t seem like a great match - but something clicked.
They pushed each other to grow. They gave each other space to change. And when their paths started to pull in different directions, they let go with honesty, not drama. That kind of calm, quiet goodbye only works when the friendship is real and theirs was.
