'Tears are a good thing': 'Schitt's Creek' cast Zoom together, share emotions watching series finale

The popular Canadian sitcom "Schitt's Creek" brought six seasons to a close Tuesday, prompting the stars who brought the dysfunctional Rose family to life to air their feelings on social media.

Series co-creator Dan Levy, who starred in the show as David Rose opposite dad Eugene Levy, shared a picture on Instagram of him crying on his last day filming in the Rosebud Motel room.

"Tears are a good thing. It means you care," Dan Levy wrote. "This show has been the love of my life for the past seven years. Getting to tell these stories, build these characters, and watch them grow has been a privilege for which I will always be grateful.

"We built a family on those sets and it’s reassuring to know that time won’t ever change that. I love you guys more than you will ever know."

Comedy legend Eugene Levy, whose Johnny Rose is the patriarch of a family that lost all of their money and had to move to a motel in a town called Schitt's Creek, tweeted his "stirring" thanks to cast, crew and "beloved" fans: "Couldn't have done it without you!"

Sarah Levy, Dan's sister and Eugene's daughter (who plays waitress Twyla Sands), shared on Instagram a picture of the cast's Zoom meetup during the finale. "Couldn’t be happier to be with this group to watch the fabulous end to our little show that could," she wrote.

And Emily Hampshire, who plays David Rose's best friend and Johnny's business partner Stevie, shared a tearful picture of herself and the Room 7 key from the Rosebud (which Johnny gives Stevie before leaving for California in the finale). "I still have it," she wrote.

Dan Levy also gave a shout-out to the show's fans who've championed the showed and heralded "its messages of love and acceptance and decency with such empathy and passion," he wrote. "That is something I will never forget. The stories you have shared with me over the years have made me laugh and cry and feel empowered to keep making things that mean something. You’ve taught me that television has the power to not only bring people together in profound and inspiring ways, but also the power to change conversations and consequently, change lives. I know that you all have certainly changed mine."

Dan Levy wrapped his message up thanking viewers "for taking the time out of your busy lives to watch our show. I am forever grateful for this time we had together. Here’s to many more stories and many more memories, whatever they may be."
