Sullivan's Crossing S4 Premieres Amid Sully's Departure

The Season 4 premiere of Sullivan's Crossing aired on The CW on April 20, 2026, addressing the absence of Scott Patterson's character, Harry "Sully" Sullivan, who departed for Ireland with his girlfriend, Helen, at the end of the previous season. Set in the fictional town of Timberlake, Nova Scotia, the episode picks up the morning after Sully's exit, shifting responsibilities for the family campground to his daughter, Maggie Sullivan, played by Morgan Kohan.

In the opener, Maggie expresses overwhelm to her partner, Cal Jones, portrayed by Chad Michael Murray, stating, "Sully just left, we can't let things slide around here." She adds, "I think I am just feeling overwhelmed with him leaving like that. It all took me by surprise." Other characters, including Sully's friend Frank Cranebear, played by Tom Jackson, reference his overseas journey, with Frank praying for safe travels. Maggie waits for a call from her father throughout the episode, but it never arrives, underscoring the sudden void left by his departure.

Patterson, known for his role as Luke Danes on Gilmore Girls, had portrayed the gruff campground owner for the show's first three seasons, which began in 2023 on CTV...
