Catherine O’Hara Rewrote Entire Scenes for ‘Schitt’s Creek,’ Dan Levy Reveals: ‘She Was Just an Irreplaceable Talent and an Irreplaceable Person’

My impression from this and other descriptions is that Catherine reworked the scene beforehand and improvised in rehearsal, which resulted in the final sequence. Both things can be true -- improv doesn't have to be Robin Williams-type riffing in the moment.

So I heard that lots of Catherine’s wardrobe and wigs were owned by her and not the show. She’d bring them in for doing scenes? Is that true, or as like Dan says, they sold everything?

I've been rewatching the whole show since she passed. About one episode a day.

The Cabaret episode is one of my favorite tv episodes of all time

That’s what is so great about the show, you hate all the characters at the start but they grow on you as the grow in the show.

love these two quotes from Moira: "let's not count our poultry before it's incubated." "We must keep the carriage in the wake of the mare"

When I first watched it I wondering if Catherine had had a stroke or something neurological because nothing about that accent made sense

I haven’t seen a lot of it… what was she doing? Whats clever about it?

I'm with you. At first I thought it was way too much. But soon I just bought in.

I heard she left her kid at home when the rest of the family went on vacation.  Never found out if it was true or not.

All I need is Dan to confirm Alexis and Ted found each other again. I’ll take a verbal and call it a day.

Yup. Ironic that in a post singing Cathrine’s great qualities everyone is missing the essential question: What would she want? The answer of course is an irreverent, intelligent, serious, ludicrous, well written, funny show. With a gentle touch Schitt’s Creek is prime for a sequel that it will never get, especially under the heavily heavily heavily subsidized Canadian content program (doubly so at CBC). Stevie and David-Patrick stories have many miles on them.

I totally get why the people who knew and loved and worked directly with her wouldn't want to do it. But as a fan, I kind of think....why not? If it's bad, then just skip it. You can always stop watching after s6e14.

Just listen to Conan’s podcast that this article is based on. It’s good!

That was such a polite *Hey smarten up* reply to a lazy (and therefore high scoring) comment. “If you read the article.” Well done.

There’s an article??

The machine doesn’t stop. We’re all replaceable.
