Dean Norris is happy to revisit Hank Schrader, his 'Breaking Bad' character, on AMC prequel 'Better Call Saul.'

So why didn't he realize his brother-in-law Walter White was a drug kingpin until the final season? "I get asked that all the time. Walt was too close. It made perfect sense that Hank didn't know until the moment he found out. … It's the old 'Purloined Letter.' It's right in front of your face and sometimes you don't see it."

Monday's episode marks the initial encounter between Hank and Saul, who sparred a couple of times on"Bad," including a verbal clash in Odenkirk's debut, a Season 2 episode titled"Better Call Saul." "When we watched it, it felt like these two guys had engaged before, that they didn't particularly like each other. … Phew!" says Gould, who created"Saul" with"Bad" creator Vince Gilligan.

Retrofitting"Saul" to sync up with the"Bad" storyline has been more challenging than the producers expected. One writer rewatches all 62"Bad" episodes before the start of production each season to make sure"Saul" avoids conflicts.

Also, in BCS, i mean, you just have to have Walter White in the last season, how can you not If even just a cameo, I would hope for more screen time, but he HAS to be in the last season.... that's how you conclude the series.

Just finished watching BB for the 3rd time, it still holds up and you learn something new every time... big fan of Hank!

It was great to see him back! An unexpected treat.

Dude, watching that scene was so damn good, I think I need to re-watch BB again!!!!

Yes

great show, at least as good as Breaking Bad
