THE creators of upcoming U.S. TV series “Better Call Saul” has answered one of the most-asked questions about the “Breaking Bad” spinoff: Will audience see Walt (played by Bryan Cranston) and Jesse (played by Aaron Paul) this year?

    “Characters Walt and Jesse will not appear in Season 1. We really want this to stand on its own,” co-showrunner Peter Gould confirmed recently.

    “Our intention and our hope is that it will feel proper and organic,” co-showrunner Vince Gilligan said of the former “Breaking Bad” stars returning. “If it feels like a stunt, then we in the writers room will feel like we have done something wrong.”

    Gould revealed that the writers have a corkboard featuring all of the “Breaking Bad” characters they could potentially bring back, “from the big ones like Jesse and Walt to the small ones you might not remember, like Wendy.”

    Gilligan and Gould also shared their thoughts on how time will pass in the show, which largely takes place six years before character Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman (played by Bob Odenkirk) meets Walt, but will also have elements occurring after the events of “Breaking Bad.”

    “Better Call Saul” will premiere Feb. 8 in the United States.(SD-Agencies)
