Schitt's Creek doesn't actually center on romance, as it's primarily (and refreshingly) about the dynamics between the Rose family members, and how they deal with the titular town and finding themselves without the money they once had. However, romance does play a part - and every one of the main characters has at least a little romance on the show, right from the moment that Alexis and David first head out to a party and Alexis just wants to find someone to kiss.
Of course, some of these relationships were obvious a mile away, and gave fans plenty of time to root for the characters to get together (whether they actually did, or whether it all fell apart). But a lot of the Schitt's Creek pairings were actually a surprise - whether because fans never saw them coming, or just because they never saw them working!
10 Surprised Everyone: Ted & Heather
Ted is one of the most wholesome characters on TV, so fans always hoped that he would end up with Alexis, who is her own special kind of wholesome too. It seemed clear that although Ted and Alexis had their breakups, they would get back together again... which is why his Heather storyline came as such a shock for so many. It seemed as though Ted and farmgirl Heather actually had a good thing going for a while, and were getting pretty serious, which had fans honestly worried for a while about Ted's future with Alexis.
9 Rooting For: Ted & Alexis
It broke fans' hearts when Alexis told Ted that they needed to break up - that he needed to go study his turtles, and that she needed to build her PR business, and those two things just couldn't line up. These two were an absolutely adorable pair, and fans were rooting for them from the moment that Alexis met Ted, and kept calling him a 'doctor' instead of a Vet. They brought out the best in each other, and maybe one day, they'll cross paths again in this universe.
8 Surprised Everyone: Alexis & Mutt
Alexis 'met' Mutt in typical early-seasons-Alexis fashion: she stomped up to him and started making out, took a photo of it, and then walked away again. She was only ever interested in him because she thought he was attractive and wanted to make her old boyfriend jealous, so it came as a surprise when they ended up not only having a longer storyline together, but actually in a relationship for a decent stretch. It was never going to work out, but it was a surprise it lasted as long as it did.
7 Rooting For: Stevie & Emir
Another example of a relationship that didn't work out, no matter how much fans wanted it to, was Stevie and Emir. At first, everyone was rooting for these two, as Emir seemed to be a great fit for Stevie, as a travel blogger and someone who had a lot of fun with her.
However, after he let her down when she wanted to take things more seriously than him, fans were quick to turn on her former fling, and decide that Stevie deserves better.
6 Surprised Everyone: Alexis & Artie
Even in Schitt's Creek, it's possible to find some really questionable rebound dates, it seems - at least, if Alexis and Artie prove anything! After a breakup with Ted, Alexis ends up briefly dating a man named Artie, who is significantly older than her (and potentially older than her father), and who was clearly not right for her (for reasons well beyond his age). Of course, what really surprised fans was Alexis revealing that she knew this wasn't a long term thing, she just wanted to have some fun after her breakup... and she didn't appreciate her family's meddling!
5 Rooting For: Twyla & Anyone
Twyla may have been slightly clueless, but the Cafe Tropicale waitress was one of the sweetest citizens of Schitt's Creek, and fans wanted to see her get a happy ending - especially when it was so clear that she wanted to have a romantic partner. She started out with Mutt, but his budding relationship with Alexis put an end to that, and she didn't seem to have many other prospects throughout the show. It was a shame, as this sweet smoothie-maker definitely deserved someone wonderful.
4 Surprised Everyone: David & Stevie
David and Stevie's brief fling even surprised David and Stevie! But it didn't do any harm to their relationship, and potentially even brought them closer on their way to becoming best friends, so it all worked out for the best.
This fling also led to one of the best conversations about sexuality in the show, as David and Steve compare his sexual preferences using wine, and conclude that 'he likes the wine and not the label'.
3 Rooting For: David & Patrick
David and Patrick are arguably the fan-favorite couple of the show, and audiences were thrilled when the series ended with these two adorable lovebirds married, running their business, and owning their dream home in Schitt's Creek. It wasn't always straightforward though, between Patrick's ex showing up, David deciding that Patrick needed to date other men, confusion over what 'getting an apartment' meant, and all kinds of other stumbling blocks along the way. All that meant, though, was that fans had more time to get invested, and to enjoy seeing the relationship blossom.
2 Surprised Everyone: Roland & Jocelyn
Clearly, this relationship wasn't a surprise in and of itself - Roland and Jocelyn are introduced as a married couple on the show! However, what did surprise fans was how much they came to love these two, despite their initial impression. In the early episodes, Roland is shown to be truly disgusting (the cheese dip...) and Jocelyn comes across as just plain annoying. But, surprise! By the end, everyone loves them, and they are practically part of the Rose family.
1 Rooting For: Moira & Johnny
Like Roland and Jocelyn, it was clear that these two were married from the start, so in this case, rooting for them isn't about wanting them to get together. Instead, it is about wanting them to stay together through the hardships of their early weeks in Schitt's Creek, when the whole family was struggling. And later, it is about rooting for them as a couple when it became increasingly clear that these two were meant to be together. Watching Johnny support Moira, and watching her come through for him when he needed it, seeing them open up to each other, and seeing their happiness in each others' successes was a joy to watch.
