The CW hosts the Canadian series Sullivan's Crossing in the US, and the romantic drama show is set to return for its third season soon. Based on the novels by Robyn Carr, the series concerns a neurosurgeon named Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) who gets into some legal trouble and returns to her hometown to develop a relationship with her estranged father, and maybe even fall in love with someone along the way. With its mix of light drama and charming small-town romance, Sullivan's Crossing is quintessential Robyn Carr, and is not unlike Netflix's Carr adaptation, Virgin River.

Season 2 of Sullivan's Crossing left the titular family in dire straights as their campground was due to be auctioned off. Fortunately, they were able to save their business, but Sully's (Scott Patterson) life was left hanging in the balance when he was trapped within the diner as it became a raging inferno. Furthermore, Maggie's choice to stay in the Crossing is going to present challenges as she adjusts to small-town life. Even though The CW's scripted shows have been in flux in recent years, Sullivan's Crossing has proven to be one of the network's most successful imports.

Will Sully Survive The Burning Diner?

Chad Michael Murray, Morgan Kohan, and Scott Patterson in  CW series, Sullivan's Crossing

Even though season 2's finale was a triumphant victory for the Sullivan family when they saved the campground, it wasn't without a frightening cliffhanger. When the diner caught fire, Sully was last seen trapped within, and the episode ended without showing if he survived. Since Scott Patterson is part of season 3's cast, it stands to reason that Sully will escape his predicament, though he may be seriously injured by the affair. Another looming question is whether Maggie can truly commit to small-town life, something she's grappled with throughout the feel-good romance's run.

On the romance front, Maggie finally gave in and itted she loved Cal, which could begin their relationship in earnest. However, Lola's own designs for Cal might get in the way, and it will definitely be a source of drama in season 3. The arrival of a new Fire Chief could also shake things up in the Crossing, as could best-selling author Helen Culver, who has come to town to get inspiration for her next book. With so much happening in Sullivan's Crossing season 3, it's clear that Maggie's small-town life might not be as slow as she once feared.
