The funny thing is, that never quite happened. So when they decided many years later to do a Saul prequel series, Gilligan and Peter Gould had to come up with an Ignacio to explain why Saul would name-check him in such a tense moment. Nacho only exists at all because in Saul Goodman’s first appearance on Breaking Bad, he mentioned the names “Ignacio” and “Lalo” to Walt and Jesse when they dragged him out to the desert to scare him. Jesse Pinkman was supposed to die within a few episodes of introducing Walter White to the ABQ drug scene, for instance then Vince Gilligan got to watch Aaron Paul at work.įew characters in either series are more symbolic of that improvisational quality than Nacho Varga.
The writers of both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are proud to admit how much each show has been made up as it has gone along, and how many aspects of each were happy accidents.
