8 Ways Better Call Saul Can Bring Breaking Bad Characters Back
7/6. Gretchen And Elliott Schwartz
Walter Whites frenemies, former squeeze Gretchen and college science partner (now Nobel Prize winner) Elliott, were last seen cowering in their luxurious hillside home, unwilling recipients and conveyors of Walts parting gift to his family. While their exact history with Walt was never delved into - he co-founded Elliotts company Grey Matter and considered himself screwed out of his fair share, that's it - they served to illustrate the sort of life he might have had. While its improbable that the Schwartzs might come face to face with Jimmy, its not beyond reason that they might move in the same circles as, say, the Kettlemans, the half-assed white-collar embezzlers whom Jimmy still seeks to represent. As county treasurer, Craig Kettleman, and his wife Betsy, could quite plausibly encounter Gretchen and Elliott at a fundraiser; after all, the latter are famed for their philanthropic gestures. Thats if the former can somehow avoid prison. While its hard to think what role, if any, the Schwartzs could have to play in the overall narrative of Better Call Saul, a cameo would certainly be a nice nod to the broader world of ABQ. Failing that, they could brush shoulders with Jimmy during a trip to Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill. They might not need their services now, but give it half a decade (and $9 million of Walts unlaundered drug money). After all, they have a trust fund to establish... Who knows, Jimmy could catch them on his return.
