Sullivan’s Crossing left fans with more questions than answers about possible breakups, more secrets and even possible cast exits ahead of season 4.
Based on Robyn Carr’s novel series, the CW show — which is now streaming on Netflix — follows neurosurgeon Maggie (Morgan Kohan) as she finds herself in legal trouble and returns to her hometown in rural Nova Scotia to reconnect with her estranged father, Sully (Scott Patterson).
It took three seasons, but Maggie finally found her footing — and fell in love with Cal (Chad Michael Murray). Their happiness didn’t last long, though, because just as Maggie and Cal were planning their future together, her secret husband, Liam (Marcus Rosner), showed up.
The drama didn’t stop there, though, with Sully leaving Sullivan’s Crossing, Frank (Tom Jackson) and Edna (Andrea Menard) thinking about stepping away from the town and several couples considering whether to stay together at all.
‘Sullivan’s Crossing’ Ending Explained After Lucy’s Secret Husband Reveal
“There’s never a dull moment at Sullivan’s Crossing,” showrunner Roma Roth told Collider in July 2025. “A romance drama series needs to have push and pull between your characters … we’re going to have a pretty big shoe drop at the end of the season that we’ll get to see play out in season 4.”
Keep scrolling for every question viewers want answered in season 4 of Sullivan’s Crossing:
Can Maggie and Cal Survive Her Secret Marriage?
Maggie and Cal’s biggest problem in season 3 revolved around their plans to move in together. Cal was ready to take that next step, while Maggie was more hesitant. It seemed like they were back on track in the finale — until Maggie’s “summer fling,” a.k.a husband Liam, arrived in Sullivan’s Crossing.
Season 4 has a lot of who, what, where, how and whys to answer for Us. While the most obvious questions revolve around Maggie and Cal’s relationship, we also want to know what motivated Liam to show up — and whether he is sticking around.
Where Do Sydney and Rafe Stand?
Sydney (Lindura) and Rafe (Dakota Taylor) were at a crossroads at the end of season 3 on whether their different views on marriage could mean their relationship was over. Viewers rooting for Sydney and Rafe need to know whether they can work through this or if this obstacle will be what causes them to break up.
What About Lola and Jacob?
Speaking of Sullivan’s Crossing couples, Lola (Amalia Williamson) was preparing for her romance with Jacob (Joel Oulette) to turn long-distance. Jacob initially considered putting his master’s degree on hold to stay with Lola but she seemed certain they could make it work.
Can Lola and Jacob actually make it work? Sounds like a question for next season.

Are Frank and Edna Leaving for Good?
Frank (Tom Jackson) and Edna (Andrea Menard) were put through the wringer in season 3 after she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Edna then started to lose her vision, and Maggie ultimately performed a high-stakes surgery that saved her life — but what does that mean for the fan-favorite couple now?
Frank and his wife discussed traveling more so they can enjoy the next stage of their lives, but that means they would be leaving Sullivan’s Crossing. The show would need to answer to viewers about how to keep Frank and Edna happy while not disappointing those of Us who watch the show for their story.
Who Is Taking Over at Sullivan’s Crossing?
Sullivan’s Crossing could no longer have Frank and Edna around and Maggie’s medical practice has also kept her from the business. Then there is Sully, who chose to go to Ireland with Helen (Kate Vernon), which didn’t leave a lot of options in terms of who is running the campground now.
Some fans think signs are pointing at a time jump in season 4, but we have to wait until 2026 to find out.
