## Synopsis

Sullivan's Crossing (2023-present) is a Canadian romance drama series created by Roma Roth for CTV. Neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) returns to the rural community of Sullivan's Crossing after her personal and professional life falls apart, and she must navigate a complicated present while confronting the painful past she has spent years avoiding. Her story is woven through the lives of the people who still live in the town, including Cal Jones (Chad Michael Murray), Harry 'Sully' Sullivan (Scott Patterson), and Frank Cranebear (Tom Jackson) with Edna Cranebear (Andrea Menard). Each season builds on the slow reconnection between Maggie and her roots, with the tension of old wounds and new romantic possibilities driving the drama. The series unfolds at a patient pace in a close-knit rural setting, where tight community ties and everyday small town rhythms frame personal reckoning. Its tone is warm yet wistful, with a gentle romantic undercurrent and a reflective view of family legacy. Fans of Heartland and small town romance series will find resonance here. The show runs four seasons of ten episodes each and remains on air as a returning series.
