Breaking Bad: 5 Characters We Expect To Bite the Bullet And 5 We Really Hope Won’t

Who Will Probably Die?

5. Lydia

This snivelling annoyance has been bullet bait from her first scene. Its certainly not that Laura Fraser is a bad actress. Its just that Lydia is freakin annoying! She hasnt done a lot to advance the plot emotionally. More or less, she has been a McGuffin pushing the physical storyline forward. All she has achieved (excluding the idea for the train heist) is to whine and threaten the key cast. Mike was trying to kill Lydia from her first appearance in Season 5A. Her readiness to betray Mike and his operatives shows that she isnt trustworthy and could prove a foil for Walt later on. I could easily see her being killed off for this very reason. She is far too involved in illegal activity to get off light. And lets remember that Gilligan has strongly based this show on his belief in karma. I doubt a character that was willing to kill ten others for the sole reason of self-preservation will be allowed to see the final frame.

4. Todd

Another new character that has done nothing but annoy me ever since he arrived. Todd is the infamous child shooter. After his actions scared off Jesse once and for all, Walt was forced to make him his new partner in production. Gilligan has recently called Todd an unusual character in interviews. He has told us that we havent seen all that the character has to offer yet, which means hes going to have some strong involvement in whatever comes next. This excites me a lot. But it also confirms for me that Todd is a goner. Because lets not forget that he shot an innocent kid at point blank range. Todd has been a creepy foil. His unusual "connections" have proven useful but are also likely dangerous. If Jesse is getting sucked back into Walt's world then that means Todd is probably going to be pushed out. Since Todd hasn't been proven to be level-headed so far, I think that his relationship with Walt will soon deteriorate for the worst. If he is involved in Walts future...it wont end well for him.
