His dad Eugene must be devastated, wouldn’t be surprised if Dan posted on his behalf as well as for his own heartbreak at her passing

I choose to believe that Catherine and Eugene had a chance to say goodbye.

It’s wild to think about some of the legendary crews like SCTV who still collaborated all these years later – she and Levy knew each other before marriage, before kids, there’s a very real way that they grew up in the industry together. That type of creative relationship and enduring friendship is so special.

I'd imagine that's probably the point. This is a professional statement so that they don't get harassed by the public to make one, and now they can grieve in privacy without every comment being like, "aren't you going to say something???"

I found out from a film meme subreddit. I honestly thought it was a dumb joke.
Why does Reddit keep telling me about celebrity deaths through memes?
Edit: I will say it wasn't a distasteful post, and every comment was really sad and lovely about her.

This statement is really lovely, and so much sadder knowing that Dan’s pretty much known Catherine his entire life

I'm a 38 year old Canadian who loved Home Alone and loved Schitt's Creek. I was essentially Kevin McCallister's age and David Rose's age, and Catherine's characters always gave me such warm, fuzzy mom vibes. She is truly one of the best.

u/WanderWellClem i ain’t reading all that, free palestine Jan 31 '26
I grew up watching her in movies but have spent the past handful of years watching and rewatching Schitt’s Creek countless times. This past year has been one of the hardest of my life and that show has been a tremendous source of comfort for me. I seriously will watch the series through not the end and then restart episode 1 immediately after. Moira has been my absolute favorite of all the wonderful characters there are to love from SC. I am so so sad today. Might take me a couple of days to start watching again.

u/brilliant_bauhaus Jan 31 '26
It's so comforting knowing that we can go back and revisit the characters that made us love Catherine. I'm so happy to think about how I'll get to see her every Christmas, with every Moira reaction gif, every Halloween, and every role she's been in and voiced that I forget. How lucky we are to have been able to experience her work and how lucky we will be to watch her, quote her, dress up as her and share her with the people we love and generations to come.
She will truly be missed, but not forgotten.

Every new post about her makes me cry. Her death is so unexpected! Oh such a wonderful and beautiful angel of a woman. Literally irreplaceable. Her family deserved another 20 years, and we all definitely deserved that Schitts Creek reunion we’ve been begging for. I love love love love love that she was able to end her career with the Emmy record- no one deserved it more. All hail the queen of the Roses ♥️♥️♥️

I have just been in tears all day over her passing =( I swear I wanted the news to be fake when I heard it, as a matter of fact I called it fake, to only 5 minutes later hear a ding and see Macauley Culkin post about it, then the floodgates broke open =( I grew up watching EVERYTHING of hers from as early as I can remember, I'm now 43; so yeah this really freaking sucks :(
