She’s given the unfortunate task of telling a customer, Doris, that her cat has passed away. But it’s also a critical moment of character development for Alexis and it helped inspire the same for Piper.Īs Bailey says, “In this episode, Alexis is working as Ted’s receptionist at the animal clinic - a position for which she’s more than slightly unqualified. “Ronnie’s Party” might seem like an odd choice, as it’s still one of the relatively early episodes in the series when the show was still finding its feet. But through it all, they keep their positivity, and that’s why I love them both so much!” Season 2, Episode 10: “Ronnie’s Party” They’re out to get some innocent revenge, and it does not go according to plan.
“Alexis and Piper were both spurned by their boyfriends. “This is the second episode of the entire series, and it reminds me so much of the opening chapter of It Happened One Summer because both heroines are fish out of water, comically so,” she says.

HarperCollins Publishers Season 1, Episode 2: “The Drip” But how exactly do Piper and Alexis line up as characters, and what parts of Schitt’s Creek were foundational to Piper’s story? Below, Bailey tells Elite Daily the three episodes that strongly inspired the arc of Piper’s character. Of course, Piper starts to discover that living in Westport isn’t so bad, and perhaps she’s not so disgusted by this local man who disappears for weeks at sea. But when Piper meets Brendan, a big, bearded local sea captain who takes one look at her and declares she won’t last five minutes, she becomes determined to show them all who she can really be. Infuriated, her father sends her and her sister to a remote beach town in the Pacific Northwest known as Westport, cutting them off from all funds until they learn some responsibility. It Happened One Summer tells the story of Hollywood “it girl” Piper Bellinger, whose fashionable, influential life suddenly comes to a screeching halt when an out-of-control party lands her in jail. Her newest book, the Schitt’s Creek-inspired It Happened One Summer, drew its heroine from everyone’s favorite would-be pop sensation, Alexis Rose.
Best-selling romance author Tessa Bailey, known for novels like Fix Her Up, is one of those authors who takes a page from the Netflix queue. But the influence goes both ways, with books that take their inspiration from the small screen and characters readers already know and love.
