Morgan Kohan addresses Scott Patterson’s exit from Sullivan’s Crossing

Morgan Kohan has spoken out following the unexpected departure of her co-star Scott Patterson from the hit drama series Sullivan’s Crossing.

In a recent interview, Kohan addressed how the exit will impact her character, Maggie, as the show heads into its fourth season. She revealed that Maggie’s life takes a dramatic turn, with her support system significantly altered after her on-screen father, Sully, leaves the storyline. The character is now expected to take on greater responsibility, including managing the Crossing, while dealing with personal upheaval.

Patterson’s exit was confirmed earlier this month, with showrunner Roma Roth explaining that his character remains part of the show’s world despite being physically absent. Season 4 picks up with Sully overseas in Ireland, leaving room for a potential return in future storylines.

However, Patterson later suggested that “creative differences” led to his departure, adding that the situation was not entirely his decision. His statements sparked speculation among fans about behind-the-scenes tensions.

Co-star Chad Michael Murray also addressed the change, emphasizing that the series continues to stay true to its core narrative. He noted that Sully’s legacy remains central to the story, even in his absence.

The development marks one of the most talked-about TV cast exits of 2026, drawing attention from fans of the original book series and the show alike.

“Sullivan’s Crossing” continues to stream on Netflix, with Season 4 set to premiere on The CW on April 20.
