Dan Levy and Noah Reid may not be an IRL item (much to the disappointment of David and Patrick shippers), but the Schitt’s Creek costars are good pals. After Noah joined the cast as David Rose’s business partner, Patrick Brewer, in season three, fans quickly fell in love with the onscreen couple, and TBH, it’s hard not to love them. Of course, what makes David and Patrick’s love story so special isn’t just great acting – it’s the result of Dan and Reid’s offscreen friendship. The two actors have said the sweetest things about each other over the years, and their best quotes will make you mourn the end of Schitt’s Creek all over again.

During a July 2020 interview with Awards Daily, Dan said he knew right away that Noah was an obvious fit for the role of Patrick. “I wrote a character that I was very clear about in terms of who Patrick was going to be and hopefully what the long-term goal would be for him,” Dan said. “And I think in having that kind of clarity in the casting process, it just was very clear to me that Noah was the only option for that.”

Noah told Decider in March 2019 that he has a ton of respect for Dan as both a performer and a creator. When asked about his favorite part of Patrick and David’s relationship, Noah said it was “obviously working with Dan.” He added, “I love watching his performances from the other side and watching the care. The level of care is all over the show with him, but particularly as David in that character.”
