Writer and producer Peter Gould recently shared an early draft of a Breaking Bad episode, which would have set up the character to work at Hot Topic in his self-titled spin-off series that ran from 2015 to 2022 on AMC. “If I’m lucky, a month from now, best case scenario, I’m managing a Cinnabon in Omaha,” Saul tells Walter White ( Bryan Cranston) in the 2013 episode ‘Granite State’.
