Page 2: 8 ‘Breaking Bad’ Characters We’d Like to See in ‘Better Call Saul’
If Huell gets a return, he should be joined by the other half of Saul’s “A-Team.” Patrick didn’t have much to do in the original series, but he made the perfect Good Cop partner for the intimidating bodyguard. Since we know pretty much nothing about his past, Patrick could easily make a couple of appearances in Better Call Saul.
Saul’s outspoken receptionist is hilarious in her relatively limited role, and it would be great to explore why she has such disdain for the lawyer. Do they have history? Were they in a relationship? Francesca is another fun character that would be easy to bring back without the show feeling like a Breaking Bad curtain call.
This selection is a bit left-field, but Old Joe would make a great addition to the cast of Better Call Saul. In his limited appearances he demonstrated an expert knowledge of the law (managing to stop Hank from searching Walt and Jesse’s RV), an adept talent for engineering and (most importantly) a blatant disregard of the law. As things get worse and worse for Jimmy McGill, he’ll certainly have to turn to Old Joe for help at some point.
We couldn’t resist. How could you not want Walter White in Better Call Saul? Don’t get us wrong, we’re not asking for him to become a series regular. But since a return for Jesse would also require Badger, Skinny Pete, and all of their other friends to make an appearance, Aaron Paul’s reprisal may be deemed as over-the-top fan service. Walter White however could make a quick cameo while he washes Saul’s car, and the two could have a quick exchange. That’s all that’s needed. There would be plenty of opportunity for some nice foreshadowing of future events during a quick scene, without things getting ridiculous.
