One actor, though, isn’t so sure about it anymore. In an interview with The Huffington Post (via Zap2It), Aaron Paul said “there’s rumors floating around that I’m going to be [appearing on Better Call Saul], but that’s simply not the case,” adding “to be honest, it’s not gonna happen.” That seems pretty open-and-shut, so it looks like we have definitive proof that Jesse Pinkman won’t be on Better Call Saul.
Except that Paul himself is offering slightly different takes on the subject. In a more recent auto-playing video at the same Huffington Post link, Paul said “there’s no plan of Jesse or Walt making an appearance in the first season of Better Call Saul,” though he acknowledges that they could show up later in the series. Better Call Saul did already get picked up for a second season, so maybe the odds of a little Walt, Jesse, and Saul reunion aren’t so bad?
Better Call Saul doesn’t premiere on AMC until next year, so that gives us plenty of time to talk about conflicting rumors of who will or won’t make a cameo appearance on it.
