Patrick, on the other hand, is a buttoned-up businessman who has never been in a homosexual relationship.
With plenty of both touching and hilarious moments, it’s no wonder fans absolutely adored David and Patrick.
But there may be a few things about the relationship that you didn’t notice.
Here are the things you missed about David and Patrick’s relationship inSchitt’s Creek.
In fact, for most viewers, the first meeting between David and Patrick probably seemed pretty innocuous.
Patrick uses multiple sports references, and David doesn’t understand any of them.
The whole conversation shows just how different the two are.
For first-time viewers, the meeting probably felt pretty awkward.
AsBuzzFeednoted, “Patrick was 100% smitten with David literally the FIRST time he met him.”
However, there is one thing that never became a problem.
“I have no patience for homophobia,” he said.
“As a result, it’s been amazing to take that into the show.
We show love and tolerance,” he went on.
It’s pretty remarkable to see a homosexual relationship portrayed without homophobia ever becoming an issue.
In fact, it allowsSchitt’s Creekviewers to enjoy watching Patrick and David fall inlovejust like any other couple.
And according to Levy, this was exactly the intention.
In fact, everyone else seemed to notice the romantic tension before he did.
First, Stevie notices the attraction when Patrick invites David out for a birthday dinner.
AsTV Guidenoted, “David certainly didn’t suspect that Patrick had any non-professional interest in him.”
Of course, Stevie was right.
David loves Mariah Carey if you hadn’t noticed.
PatricksingsMariah Carey’s “Always Be My Baby” during his wedding vows because David is his Mariah.
It turns out that Dan Levy is a real-life Mariah Carey super fan.
When she tweeted about the show, Levyretweetedher post, adding, “OH.
F**KING.
He often took charge of things.
However, there was one episode when David became the stronger one.
As Dan Levy explained toEntertainment Weekly, this new dynamic was purposeful.
“You never want a character to seem too perfect.
We have to say seeing Patrick’s vulnerable side definitely makes us love this couple even more.
And it was definitely avoided on purpose.
In hindsight, it’s pretty sweet that the show doesn’t get into the sexual side of things.
AsCBRhighlighted, the lack of sex in the show is pretty “noteworthy.”
Patrick’s past involves an on-again, off-again fiancee named Rachel.
There’s also the fact that he has never had a homosexual relationship.
Nevertheless, David doesn’t hold anything against him.
And when it comes to Rachel, he only gets angry that Patrick didn’t tell him.
At the same time, Patrick is equally forgiving and understanding.
Instead of becoming uncomfortable, Patrick accepts that David’s past relationships are in the past.
As actor Noah Reid explained to theIndependent, he was careful to avoid playing into stereotypes with his portrayal.
He explained that, in some cases, he agreed that queer roles should be reserved for queer actors.
The truthful performance definitely made a difference.
Fans fell in love with Reid’s honest portrayal of Patrick on a human level.
AsAdvocatenoted, the show was celebrated for the fact that it “avoided tragic stereotypes.”
The couple often kiss when they greet each other or say goodbye.
While it may seem a little excessive to some viewers, Dan Levy thought it made an important statement.
As Levy toldGQ, “I wanted them to kiss every time they saw each other.
As couples do.”
For Levy, it was an opportunity to take another step towards normalizing queer TV relationships.
Luckily, this was taken pretty well by fans of the show.
“I was expecting a lot more pushback to the physicality,” Levy confessed.
In the end, he shared, he only received a handful of bigoted messages.
“Maybe we’ve come to a place where we’ve moved past that,” he said.
We certainly hope so.
Looking back, we realized just how perfect all Patrick’s many gifts really are.
In fact, they prove just how perfect the pair really are together.
Patrick’s gift giving continued for their four-month anniversary with agiant heart-shaped cookie.
It’s not helpful for our relationship.”
In an extravideoreleased online, David and Patrick riff about David’s undying love for the rom-com.
“I learn a lot from rom-coms, you know,” David says.
He then performs a series of scenes to a smirking Patrick.
Patrick then says, “Let me try one,” and proceeded to do a perfect English accent.
As Levy explained, like David, he’s a big rom-com fan.
In the episode “Crows Premiere,” Patrick gets his wisdom teeth removed.
While high on painkillers, he starts rambling about babies.
For David, this is a little worrying he’s not sure he wants children.
Later that season, David’s family decides to finally move out of Schitt’s Creek.
David assumes that he and Patrick will go with Alexis to New York.
However, he soon realizes that Patrick isn’t keen on leaving the town.
It’s pretty clear that this is their song.
The song “The Best” seemed like the perfect soundtrack.
They’re so beautiful!'”
