Jake

Jake, played by Steve Lund, is a character on the show Schitt’s Creek (2015-2020). At one point, he is dating both Stevie and David simultaneously. 

Although they both claim to be comfortable with this situation, they are clearly dealing with jealousy and insecurity. He then proposes that they become a throuple and Stevie and David both flee.

In season 4, we learn that Stevie is still secretly dating Jake. She claims that it isn’t serious, but we do not see much of the relationship. 

That is until season 6 when Jake asks David and Patrick to come over for “whiskey or whatever”, but they end up leaving once they find out Jake is actually hosting what seems to be an orgy, with Stevie among the guests.

Jake is one of those rare bi men on television, and it’s great to see two bi men on the same show. He embodies many of the hypersexual, non-monogamous stereotypes of bi men, but he is not deceitful. He assumes that everyone is on the same page, believes David and Stevie when they say they are happy, and is unapologetic about his sexual non-conformity.
