In a brand new interview, Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan shared some ideas he has for the upcoming spinoff series, Better Call Saul. Fans are all wondering if and how any characters from the iconic AMC series would appear in the upcoming Bob Odenkirk show, and Gilligan is asking himself the same questions!

Entertainment Weekly asked Gilligan: "How many characters from Breaking Bad might pop up or even have an extended role?"
The creator responded:

"The character that springs to mind would be Mike (Jonathan Banks). That would be a great deal of fun. I would say the sky's the limit, at least theoretically speaking. Realistically speaking, we've got a whole lot of actors, and the world is now well-aware of their wonderful talents and abilities, and therefore Breaking Bad has probably made it tougher for Peter and I to get some of these folks pinned down for another TV show. They're off making big movies and doing Broadway plays and whatnot, and that's exactly the way it should be. That is a high-class problem that we will have to contend with as we go forward with Better Call Saul, if we do indeed want to touch base with some of these characters... Better Call Saul could be The Love Boat of its generation, where instead of Milton Berle showing up in a sailor's cap, hopefully it could be Aaron Paul, also in a sailor's cap. [Laughs]"

How do you think Vince Gilligan and his team of writers will work in Mike if they decide to do so? Leave your suggestions in the comments section below!
