Let the mourning begin…
If you were hoping to see Bryan Cranston returning to his role as chemistry-teacher-turned-meth-kingpin, Walter White, it looks like you’re out of luck. While the award-winning actor hinted in an interview with CNN back in May that Heisenberg might not have met his maker at the end of Breaking Bad and to “never say never”, it seems as though”never” is actually likelihood of Cranston revisiting the role, according to an interview with The Daily Beast last week.
I think it was on the Ashley Banfield show on CNN, and she brought up the speculation. I was just toying with her and said, “I don’t know!” which created a whole brushfire of rumor. I don’t think that we’re going to see any kind of rebirth of that show, or that character.

I don’t know in what context it would work in, because we’re in different phases. The characters didn’t meet until the second season of Breaking Bad, when Walter needed to meet him. I suppose they could have a serendipitous brush of each other down the street or in the market, but I don’t know what good that’ll do — it’s just a little cookie.
So there you have it. While we cannot completely rule out a brief Walter White cameo for Better Call Saul, it’s not very likely — and furthermore, Breaking Bad is not coming back, get over it. It’s done, and deep inside we all know it’s probably better that way.
Better Call Saul will premiere on AMC in the first quarter of 2015.
Khari Clarke will probably be binge watching Breaking Bad this weekend. You can find him on Twitter (@KINGCLARKEIII) in between episodes.
