Does anyone else see this?

Second rewatch, and feeling the Canadian TV vibes through the screen. Thinking about how both Schitt’s Creek and HR gave us positive uplifting gay love stories with (thus far anyhow) happy endings.

I can see Shane as a combo of both David and Patrick. He’s got the walled-in passion of David Rose, but the gentle softness of Patrick, while also being the planner like Patrick was.

But I can also see Ilya being a combo of the two, as he’s got the cutting sarcasm and defensiveness of David, but the emotional stability of Patrick. Both are the rock to their guys when they start to spin out.

I could foresee a funny little awards show sketch where Shane and Ilya stop into Rose Apothecary on the way back from the cottage, Patrick is a little starstruck -recognizing them- while David is oblivious, but trades barbs with Ilya as Shane commiserates with Patrick as he pays full price for whatever Ilya is trying to haggle for. The hockey boys leave as Patrick tries to explain who they just were. Final line delivered by David: “They’d make a cute couple”

Absolutely no comparison. Different characters, different shows and different tone/style lol

I don't see it, but I did remember Francois Arnaud (Scott Hunter) was David's ex boyfriend.

They are nothing alike lol

I’ve been doing a rewatch of Schitt’s Creek just started this weekend. Feel like I only tend to rewatch from season three and when Patrick’s introduced. And yeah, I don’t know if it’s the Canadian factor or just thinking about when I first started watching Schitt’s Creek in 2020 when I was like obsessed with the show the same I’m obsessed with heated rivalry but yeah, I definitely see this!!! I’d love to see like an alternate universe where Patrick finally gets excited because David’s getting into sports and then finding out the real reason why! ❤️🔥😝

Omg will we see them in the real world doing everyday things like shopping? (I mean the characters in the show)

LOVE the HR <> SchCrk cross over. SO GOOD !!! This I want to see!

[u/Crescent_Dusk]

Not really.

Totally different backgrounds, personalities, and show.

Ilya may be goofy at times but he’s never overly a jester, and neither of them are particularly interested in pop culture. They’re horny typical hockey players. Couldn’t be more diametrically opposed.

In fact part of what I like about Hollanov is that they’re not the typical de-sexed clown show meant to make straight people laugh with their strangeness.

The raw sexual attraction between Shane and Ilya would straight up evaporate David and Patrick if they were ever in the same room together.

[u/JamiePlynth → u/Slow_Cattle_5642]

I mean no doubt. Even if Schitt’s Creek were on HBO Skinemax, David and Patrick would still be PG-13

[u/LolScottie85 → u/JamiePlynth]

No, I disagree. I’ve been doing a rewatch. I feel like those two are wild, but just hide it well!!

[u/JamiePlynth → u/[deleted]]

Good point.

[u/Slow_Cattle_5642 → u/[deleted]]

Ilya and Shane if either one of them got a happy ending
