7 Late Introduced TV Characters Who Totally Stole The Show

7. Lalo Salamanca - Better Call Saul 

Lalo Salamanca was a very late addition to Better Call Saul. Appearing 4 seasons in when we knew that he wouldn't be making it into Breaking Bad, this was a bold call by Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan who must have understood the cost of getting a decision like this wrong.

Hector Salamanca was a massively popular character in Breaking Bad and to see how he ended up in a wheelchair was one of the biggest questions facing the show when he was first announced to be coming back. Instead of drawing out Hector's stroke until the end of the run, they pulled his plug just over halfway through and gave themselves a power vacuum to fill.

Step up to the plate Tony Dalton. As Lalo Salamanca he is just fun to see, whether that be brutally killing people with zero remorse, or using his charm and suave to bring people into his orbit.

Tony Dalton does a great job at filling the shoes left by Mark Margolis's Hector and gave the show a fresh bad guy that everybody loves. Knowing that he will probably not survive season 6 is half the fun of seeing just how Lalo will be brought down.
