Here are three of my favorites.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">1. ON THE SET OF <em>BREAKING BAD<\/em>,&nbsp;BRYAN CRANSTON WOULD REGULARLY TELL AARON PAUL THAT JESSE PINKMAN WAS BEING KILLED OFF.<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHe loved to tease Aaron Paul mercilessly,\u201d explained Gilligan. \u201cThis came about after I told Aaron Paul early in the series that I had planned to kill off his character. From then on, every time a new script came out, Bryan would hurry to read it first so he could put on a sorrowful face and say to Aaron, \u2018Gee buddy, I\u2019m so sorry. You\u2019re going out with a bang, at least.\u2019 And Aaron, God bless him, seemed to fall for it every time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. WALTER WHITE WAS THE HARDEST CHARACTER TO KILL OFF.<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI have to say the death of Walter White affected me the most,\u201d admitted Gilligan, &#8220;because what it represented was the end of the story and the completion of this seven-year journey we had taken together\u2014the cast, crew, writers and directors of <em>Breaking Bad<\/em>. That was the most affecting death to write. I actually teared up when I wrote it. I think a close second was the death of Mike Ehrmantraut.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. YOU MAY VERY WELL BE ABLE TO EAT AT LOS POLLOS HERMANOS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Gus Fring\u2019s fictional chicken joint may become a nonfictional chicken joint. \u201cBelieve it or not, there is talk of a Pollos Hermanos becoming a <em>real<\/em> restaurant,\u201d confirmed Gilligan. \u201cThis is not an idea that I generated personally. But it&#8217;s one that&#8217;s been presented to me, through the good folks at Sony, and the idea came to them from a businessman who has an interest in doing just that. Speaking for myself, I&#8217;d love to see that happen!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jennifer M.
