Better Call Saul: 10 Breaking Bad Cameos That May Yet Pop Up
Just over a season left and SO many cameo possibilities.
Though living in an enormous shadow, Better Call Saul has impressed from the off, becoming a television phenomenon in its own right. The finale of Breaking Bad was a long time ago now and the Netflix spin-off has done such a fantastic job of building a separate - but equally captivating - setting that it's easy to forget its roots.
We've been tangled up in Jimmy McGill's life for over five years now, but the end of the fifth season is on the horizon and we're inching closer and closer to the events of Breaking Bad. Slippin' Jimmy is fading and the titular character is emerging. Saul Goodman's cheesy adverts and poorly edited green screens are just around the corner which means, perhaps, so is a certain chemistry teacher.
Showrunners Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have already peppered the series with plenty of enjoyable reappearances, such as Hector Salamanca, Gale Boetticher and even our favourite DEA agent, Hank Schrader, this year. However, with one full season left, there's plenty of time for a few more cameos.
10. Emilio Koyama
Emilio Koyama was Jesse Pinkman's original partner and a distributor for Krazy-8. Though we didn't get to see much of the violent dealer, and most of his screen-time was spent in a bathtub, he had a big hand in setting Walter White on his path in an iconic pilot.
Now that Krazy-8 is more heavily involved in the Better Call Saul story, it stands to reason we could see a bit more of his crew. Saul has already defended Krazy-8 and we know for a fact that he will defend Emilio too, a claim that Jesse makes in Saul's first ever episode: Better Call Saul.
As Jimmy McGill gets more involved with the big, wide world of methamphetamine we're likely to see some backstory to players like Emilio and how they tie into the prequel. There have evidently been some power changes in Albuquerque between the spin-off and Breaking Bad and characters like Emilio and Krazy-8 could be utilised as catalysts for that change.
