Sully Exits Sullivan's Crossing Amid Creative Differences
21 Apr
Summary
- Scott Patterson, who played Sully, is no longer with the show.
- Patterson cited creative differences as the reason for his departure.
- Maggie takes over Sullivan's Crossing in season 4 without Sully.

Sullivan's Crossing has seen cast changes as Scott Patterson, who portrayed Sully, exited the series. His character's departure is explained in the season 4 premiere as an extended trip to Ireland, marking a new chapter for Sully overseas. Patterson cited untenable creative differences as the reason for his departure, clarifying that it was not his choice to leave.
Season 4 picks up with Sully still in Ireland, though the production noted his character remains important with potential for future appearances. Meanwhile, lead character Maggie, played by Morgan Kohan, finds her life unexpectedly changing as she is thrust into taking over Sullivan's Crossing. This occurs as her support system, including her father Sully, is out of the picture.
Other storylines in the premiere address Sydney's and Rafe's differing views on marriage, with Rafe ending their relationship and requesting a transfer to avoid remaining in the same place. The series, based on Robyn Carr's books, centers on Maggie's return to rural Nova Scotia and her evolving relationship with Cal.
