Patterson didnât stop there, but further contradicted Rothâs statement about his character still being in Ireland in Season 4 of Sullivan’s Crossing. “Itâs unfortunate that it is now being implied that they moved on from me/Sully when the fact is the complete opposite,” he clarified. “And those who sadly already have spoken out are also fully aware of this fact, and yet chose to say otherwise.”
The TV star has worked on the show since its inception, and his character, Sully, has been the owner of the titular campground, Sullivanâs Crossing, located in Timberlake, Nova Scotia. Speaking further about his departure, he added:
“I 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.”
