More info about 'Breaking Bad' prequel Saul Goodman spin-off

The new Breaking Bad spin-off focused on one of the most eccentric characters in the show, Saul Goodman, will give us a different look at his work as a lawyer, considering a lot of it will actually take place in a courtroom. It's a little funny looking back and realizing that we never once saw Saul in court, only his strip mall office.

Breaking Bad writer and co-producer, Peter Gould, talked to Yahoo TV and discussed the character he created, who the interviewer refers to as clownish, and what we can expect from the new show.

"Yes, that's part of the paradox of Saul Goodman and one of the things that made him fun, even right back in that first episode," Gould said. "He looks like a clown. Frankly, I've been hanging around in courtrooms lately, and it's not as broad as I thought originally. He dresses in a ridiculous way, he's got billboards, he's got ridiculous ads, but he is a shrewd customer. If you listen, most of his advice to Walt over the years in the show was really good advice. If Walt had listened to Saul a little bit more, I think the show would have gone very differently and probably would not have been as exciting."

It still isn't clear how the show will be structured.  "Maybe it's a prequel, maybe it's a sequel, maybe it's both... we'll see!" Bob Odenkirk (Saul) told Access Hollywood.

Bryan Cranston was at the same event and said he would be open to making guest appearances. "I would definitely do any appearance on the show ... If it made sense, sure absolutely. We'll see."

Clearly if it's a sequel, Cranston won't be making an appearance (unless it was some sort of dream sequence). But if it's a prequel, it would be really interesting to see how they incorporate some of the other characters from what turned out to be one of the best, most popular TV shows in recent history.
