Following the gripping conclusion of the first season, Season 2 of SULLIVAN’S CROSSING opens just hours after Dr. Maggie Sullivan (Kohan) has learned about her father’s stroke, and her life is once again thrown into turmoil. Choosing to delay her return to Boston to care for her father Sully (Patterson), Maggie finds herself back in Sullivan’s Crossing, where she must once again face her conflicted feelings about her father and address her growing attraction to Cal (Murray), as she struggles to come to terms with the realities of her pregnancy and the impact it may have on her career.

On the Season 2 premiere of SULLIVAN’S CROSSING, “Guilt Trip” (Sunday, April 14 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV, CTV.ca, and the CTV app), a guilt ridden Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) returns to the Crossing to find Sully (Scott Patterson) in hospital struggling with the feeling that he’s forgotten something.
