Letterkenny: Could Shoresy and Wayne Be Long-Lost Twins?

When it comes to both Letterkenny and the now spun-off Shoresy, they’re both a huge hit for Hulu and CraveTV. Between the two shows, the casting, the characters, and the humor are on point. Most spin-offs die after the first season, but Shoresy appears to keep up with its predecessor. Both shows are highlighted by their lead characters, Wayne on Letterkenny and Shoresy on Shoresy. Both are brilliantly played by Jared Keeso but that may not be the only connection the two have.

Both shows could instantly explain why the pairing looks so similar without cheapening the story. Starting with Wayne, we really don’t have a history of his parents. The only person consistently involved in his story is “Uncle Eddie” and not much more than that. What we do know of Wanye is his story with Angie. One of the longest-standing stories is “if she cheats, it’s over” or something close to it from the start of season 1. We also know from the Super Soft Birthday Party that Wayne and Katy weren’t allowed birthday parties as kids. Their whole backstory shows a bit of a broken childhood.

Then if you watch Shoresy, we see a glimpse of his past as well. Shoresy ended up in foster care. The Shore family reunion put a young Shoresy in foster care as a kid where he’d grow to be the foul-mouthed sparkplug we have grown to love. Is it too much of a stretch to think that the two would be somehow related. Think about it. Obviously, the characters look the same because they’re played by the same actor, but they share more in common.

When it comes to twins, most share a lot of personality traits but more often than not they’re opposite overall. The same can be said of Wayne and Shoresy. Both are quick-witted, tough as nails, and both are leaders in their own way. However, they’re just as opposite. With Wayne, you have the good ol’ country boy hick who is more traditional with morals and values. With Shoresy, you have the dirty player, mom wheelin’, win at all costs hockey player. It’s almost as if Shoresy falls right into that old movie/tv trope of the evil twin brother.

Is it too much of a stretch to think that the two could be twins separated at birth? They could easily go this route and lose absolutely nothing as far as either’s character traits or storylines. Letterkenny has left so many ways to explain the pairing while creating two shows that stand on their own rights.
