Sullivan’s Crossing’s Morgan Kohan Explains Scott Patterson Exit

Sullivan’s Crossing‘s Morgan Kohan is opening up about how Scott Patterson‘s exit affected the show.

“It’s interesting. There are at all times going to be different dynamics,” Kohan, 32, exclusively told Us Weekly. “Certainly one of the things that got here out of not having Sully on the show was we did get all these wonderful latest characters too.”

Kohan found it “very nice” attending to introduce latest relationships on the show.

“What I actually loved was attending to do the flashbacks and really seeing the younger version of Maggie,” she added to Us concerning the season 4 change. “Seeing her fully letting go and just going with what was happening in front of her … I’ve really loved attending to see.”

Based on the book series by Robyn Carr, Sullivan’s Crossing centers around neurosurgeon Maggie (Kohan) after she moves back home to rural Nova Scotia to reconnect together with her estranged father, Sully (Patterson). The temporary getaway turns into Maggie planning for a future in Sullivan’s Crossing with love interest Cal (Chad Michael Murray).

Season 3 of the hit series, which began streaming on Netflix in August 2025, ended on a shocking note when Maggie and Cal’s relationship was affected by her secret husband, Liam (Marcus Rosner), strolling into town.

Elsewhere within the season, Sully left on a getaway along with his girlfriend. Us exclusively broke the news in March that Patterson, 67, ultimately exited the series before season 4.

“Season 3 of Sullivan’s Crossing ended with Sully leaving for Ireland, starting a brand new chapter in his life. Season 4 picks up the subsequent day, with Sully still overseas,” Roth shared with Us. “While he isn’t physically present on this season, the character stays a crucial a part of the world with the potential to be included in future seasons should that align with the continuing creative.”

Patterson later hinted at what caused his surprising departure, writing via Instagram, “The creative differences were becoming untenable and I just sadly realized that the show was not something that I could conform to proceed.”
