Breaking Bad could’ve had a very different ending.
The beloved 2008 TV series about a high school chemistry teacher who starts making meth after being diagnosed with terminal cancer was originally supposed to kill one of the main characters in the first season.
The show’s stars, BryanCranston and AaronPaul, joined a recent episode of the Friends Keep Secretspodcast.
Paul revealed that his character, JessePinkman, was really only there to serve WalterWhite, Cranston’s character.
The first season begins when "Jesse Pinkman introduces Walt to the drug world,” he said. Adding that the writers wanted the seasons to end with “Pinkman dies and then Walt is then led to go out for revenge into the second season and beyond.”
“I wish it would have happened that way,” Cranston joked.
The five-season show is critically acclaimed with a large fan base, in part because of the incredible on-screen chemistry between Cranston and Paul.
After Breaking Bad was picked up for series, the show’s creator and writer, VinceGilligan, told Paul about the initial arc.
“He's like, ‘I want you to know the original plan was to kill you off at the end of the season,’” Paul revealed. “And we still had like two more episodes to shoot, and my heart just starts pounding through my chest.”
He continued, “I'm like, ‘Well, what do you mean? When am I going to die?’ He's like, ‘No, no, no. You're not going to die. When we shot the pilot and we saw what you and Brian were doing together, we just love that dynamic so much.’”
The actor said that the plan for his death became a joke on the Breaking Bad set.
He shared an anecdote about a time a producer asked him to stay late so they could get his measurements. When Paul asked what they were for, they told him it was to get a correctly sized coffin, joking, “Right. You haven't read that. Um, you know what? Forget it. Uh, I'll let Vince talk to you about it,” he said.
