Q&A

Q: I just started rewatching "Schitt's Creek," and noticed the name Sarah Levy in the credits. I know that Eugene and Dan Levy are father and son in real life as well as on the show, but who's Sarah? Is she related?

The cute parallel of real father and son Eugene and Dan Levy recreating that relationship as Johnny and David Rose on "Schitt's Creek" overshadowed this fun fact: Sarah Levy, Eugene's daughter, is on the show as well, but she's not playing a relative. 

Sarah plays diner proprietor Twyla Sands on all six seasons of the surprise-hit sitcom, even though there is a daughter/sister character on the show that would have made more sense as a real-life parallel. And she admits that this was confusing for viewers at first. 

"When the show first came out, everyone assumed I was the sister," Sarah told Hello Magazine. "I love that that wasn’t the case, because it has fully removed me from the hubbub of Daniel and Dad being father and son onscreen. I loved that people didn't know that I was related in any way, because I was able to do my own thing."

She also joked in the interview that Annie Murphy, who played the daughter on the show (and who went on to star in the sitcom "Kevin Can F**k Himself"), actually "looks more like a Levy than I do, hands down. She's got the eyebrows for it."
