“Everybody’s getting a second chance to do their lives in a different way,” Roth stated. “Maggie’s finally decided to make Sullivan’s Crossing her home and embrace that, and reconnect.”
“She’s already put her grievances with her father aside and is now kind of digging into life at the Crossing.”
While followers have actually be eased to recognize that Sully, played by Scott Patterson, made it through the fire at completion of the Season 2, the trailer for Season 3 additionally teases that there might be a love passion in his future.
“It’s nice to be able to give Sully a love interest and he’s been able to kind of put his relationship with his daughter, the negativity of that past relationship, to bed and now they’re moving forward,” Roth stated. “So it’s only natural that now, especially after … he put his past with Phoebe to rest as well, he’s now kind of in a place where, second chances being the theme of our show, he’s able to kind of move forward with the second chance romance.”

“It’s a dream come true to be working with such wonderful cast, and to watch them bring the words to life, and the characters that have been in my head to life,” Roth stated. “It’s very gratifying and nice to know that not only is it connecting with an audience, it’s also connecting with the actors, because in order to bring those characters to life and really get into the role, they have to be able to love the characters as much as I do.”
Learning extra concerning Cal
One personality to definitely maintain your eye on in Sullivan’s Crossing is Cal, with Season 3 diving deeper right into his past and family members connections. And what Roth has actually had the ability to accomplish in the program is keeping a mysteriousness when it pertains to Cal, also in its 3rd period.
“It’s tricky, because you want to make sure that it’s still Maggie’s storyline, but obviously, because he’s the love interest, … and one of the leads of the show, that you’re digging into his character as well,” Roth stated. “He came in Season 1 as being that kind of mystery man, … but now we get to actually meet some of his family members, and really figure out who he is and what makes him tick.”
But while lots of points are psychological on Sullivan’s Crossing, Roth still allows her personalities have a good time. And there’s one specifically wondrous minute where Maggie, Lola (Amalia Williamson) and Sydney (Lindura) have an evening out at a bar.
“You need to have a little reprieve from some of the emotional things that are happening, … and be able to have that kind of female camaraderie that we don’t see as much,” Roth stated. “I kind of hope to lean into that in future seasons a little bit more.”
‘There’s an optimism that individuals sort of wish for‘
Between Sullivan’s Crossing and Roth’s various other preferred job, Virgin River on Netflix, she’s actually taken advantage of the elegance of a town love dramatization.
“Both shows that I’m affiliated with are shows that resonate in a deep, emotional, and true and real way with people,” Roth stated. “It’s not set on Mars, it’s set in Nova Scotia, Canada. It’s set in a small town.”
“I think there’s an idealism that people kind of long for, especially in a world today, where we’re not dealing with people face-to-face anymore. It’s a lot of kind of virtual relationships and virtual communication that we’re doing with people. So being able to kind of go back to a world where life is simpler, not everyone’s Googling everything, and you’re relating to people on a personal level. … I think it allows people a reprieve from their own world, and probably satisfies, emotionally, things that people need and want in their lives, but don’t have.”
In regards to what makes target markets so committed to both Sullivan’s Crossing and Virgin River, Roth highlighted that there’s a credibility to the tales, despite all the dramatization.
“I think to do a compelling show that’s interesting to an audience, you have to have drama … that still feels relatable and realistic,” she stated. “So we do a lot of research as well and … we’re playing in kind of the sandbox of as authentic as it can be for the audience.”
“Trying to think of the different dramatic elements and what can happen in a small town, and that’s part of the fun of creating the characters in the show and the storylines.”
