3. Jesse Pinkman Was Supposed To Die…
Although Breaking Bad largely centres around the unusual relationship between Walter White and his former student – Jesse Pinkman – it was revealed that Pinkman wasn’t intended to become a major character!
Jesse Pinkman…
According to the shows creators, Pinkman wasn’t even supposed to make it past the first season – with many sources stating he was going to be killed off in episode nine. What?!

Many believe the only thing that changed the characters fate was the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike…
It’s not what you think…
Breaking Bad creator, Vince Gilligan, came forward in 2013 to say the characters fate was decided much earlier than fans originally thought.

He said:
“The writers’ strike, in a sense, didn’t save him, because I knew by episode two—we all did, all of us, our wonderful directors and our wonderful producers,”
Jesse was saved…
Gilligan went on to say:
“Everybody knew just how good [Aaron Paul is], and a pleasure to work with, and it became pretty clear early on that that would be a huge, colossal mistake to kill off Jesse.”
