Breaking Bad spin-off show Better Call Saul has made room for Walter White (Bryan Cranston) to make an appearance, as executive producer Peter Gould clears up some of those rumours.
The new show will follow Saul (played by Bob Odenkirk), the lawyer who first popped up on AMC's smash hit show Breaking Bad. While it was initially thought the series would just focus on that character and a time period of the 1980s, Gould has now revealed another familiar face may make an appearance.
Speaking to the NY Daily News, Gould revealed that the show will feature scenes that move back and forth over several decades, including the era of Breaking Bad's Walter.

"One of the great things about having a time line which is flexible is that perhaps some of it takes place before 'Breaking Bad,' during 'Breaking Bad,' and after 'Breaking Bad'. That gives us the ability to bring back characters that were killed on 'Breaking Bad,'" he explained.
The show won't rely on Bryan Cranston though, with Gould insisting it will stand on its own two feet.
"We want to make a show that stands on it own, is its own story and is a brand extension," he said. "We think we have a story that is worth making. ... We could never dream of the kind of success that 'Breaking Bad' had and the love we got from the fans. But (with 'Saul') at a certain point you have to do the best job you can and tell the best story that entertains you, get a good response and hope people like it."

With AMC already ordering a second season of the show before fans even see the first run, Gould and his team have the luxury of knowing they can plan out long-term storylines:
"It's tremendous for us because we get to plot out two seasons. And the way we work is similar to 'Breaking Bad' as it is very serialised and each episode builds on the last. And that gives us a much bigger canvas to play with," he said.
