Scott Patterson<\/strong> left Sullivan\u2019s Crossing<\/em>, but is there a chance he could return after a shakeup?<\/p>\n

Creator Roma Roth<\/strong> has stepped away as head writer<\/a> ahead of season 5, according to Deadline. Floyd Kane<\/strong> will take over day-to-day leadership amid Roth\u2019s multiple other projects.<\/p>\n

Roth will remain an executive producer on the hit series, which has been renewed by CTV and is still awaiting a pickup by The CW. Filming is set to begin later this summer in Nova Scotia, with Morgan Kohan <\/strong>and Chad Michael Murray<\/strong> returning.<\/p>\n

Per Deadline<\/em>, there are no current plans for Patterson, 67, to return. He was reportedly approached by Roth about possibly reprising his role as Sully before news broke about his exit<\/a> in season 4.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSullivan\u2019s Crossing has gone through numerous surprise cast changes so is the hit show coming back for season 5? Based on a book series by Robyn Carr, Sullivan\u2019s Crossing follows neurosurgeon Maggie (Morgan Kohan) as she returns to her hometown in rural Nova Scotia. She finds herself reconnecting with estranged father, Sully (Scott Patterson), newcomer [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cSeason 3 of Sullivan\u2019s Crossing ended with Sully leaving for Ireland, beginning a new chapter in his life. Season 4 picks up the next day, with Sully still overseas,\u201d Roth shared with Us<\/em> in March. \u201cWhile he isn\u2019t physically present in this season, the character remains an important part of the world with the potential to be included in future seasons should that align with the ongoing creative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patterson later shared more insight into what caused his surprising departure, writing via Instagram that same month, \u201cThe creative differences were becoming untenable and I just sadly realized that the show was not something that I could agree to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patterson hinted at tension<\/a> behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that it is now being implied that they moved on from me\/Sully when the fact is the complete opposite, and those who sadly already have spoken out are also fully aware of this fact, and yet chose to say otherwise,\u201d he continued. \u201cI was not intending to make any statement but the fans of the books and the show deserve to know the truth as I have always been respectful of those who support this industry by watching and loving these characters we are so dang lucky and blessed to portray and bring to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
