Murray on Patterson's Exit: 'Show Stays True'
24 Mar
Summary
- Chad Michael Murray discussed Scott Patterson's exit from Sullivan's Crossing.
- Murray stated the show remains true to itself despite Patterson's departure.
- Patterson left due to creative differences, according to reports.
Chad Michael Murray has addressed the departure of Scott Patterson, his co-star on the Canadian romantic drama Sullivan's Crossing. Patterson left the series before its Season 4 premiere, a move Murray suggested is a natural occurrence in television production.
Murray emphasized that the show's narrative integrity remains intact, stating, "The show stays totally true to itself." He noted that Patterson's character, Sully, continues to be a significant presence within the show's universe, representing a foundational element of its storytelling. Patterson, known for his role in Gilmore Girls, reportedly departed Sullivan's Crossing on his own terms, citing "untenable" creative differences.
Executive producer Roma Roth clarified that while Sully is overseas in Season 4, the character remains relevant and could reappear in future seasons. The upcoming season, set to debut in the U.S. on The CW on April 20 and later on Netflix, will primarily focus on the evolving relationship between Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) and Cal (Murray). This dynamic is complicated by the unexpected arrival of Maggie's ex-husband, Liam, which casts doubt on Maggie's ability to move past her history.
