Heart breakin: Saul Dislike Skylar shortly passed away at the age of….. more details

The adored AMC series Breaking Bad introduced a wide variety of drug dealers, murderers, and generally Bad Dudes throughout its run, while also leading its protagonist, Walter White (Bryan Cranston), down a darker and darker path of his own. Skyler, Walter’s wife, at the time, was the most hated character. However, history is proving to be somewhat kind to Skyler. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter to promote her upcoming Apple TV+ series Sugar, Anna Gunn, the actress who played Skyler White from 2008 to 2013, states that this is the case. She discusses how attitudes have evolved over the past decade as well as the hate she received at the time, which, she notes, was mostly confined to the internet. She recalls, “It did become alarming when it turned violent.” “The comments could occasionally turn violent or threatening, and that worried me. As a result, I felt it was my responsibility to speak up and respond because I didn’t want to be bullied by all of that. Gunn is referring to an opinion piece she wrote for The New York Times titled “I Have a Character Issue” as Breaking Bad was coming to an end. She wrote in the op-ed that she “was unprepared for the vitriolic response (Skyler) inspired” in regards to the fan forums and Facebook pages that were devoted to the hatred of her character.

(AMC provided the image) In the THR interview, she states, “So I really just had to go through that ring of fire, for lack of a better phrase, to understand that a lot of it was, frankly, misogynistic.” She goes on to say, “And now, when people come up to me, it’s incredibly different because of all the seismic changes that have happened.” “We still have a long way to go, but we have really undergone significant transformations since then. Therefore, individuals now approach me and say, “You were the linchpin for me.” You were the show’s conscience. I was drawn to the show by you.’ Or they might say, “I hated that character the first time I watched it.” But after watching it again, I thought, “Oh my God, that poor woman.” ” Even Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan has criticized the animosity toward Skyler and Gunn in retrospect, telling the New Yorker in 2022, “I can tell you it always troubled me, because Skyler, the character, did nothing to deserve that.” Anna certainly did not deserve that, either. She performed the role admirably. “At this point, people approach me and say, “You were the linchpin for me.” You were the show’s conscience.’ “ However, Gunn claims that “I felt like I had done what I needed to do and said what I needed to say and made peace with it in that way” when writing the op-ed at the time. Gunn responds, “I don’t know that the writers could ever quite figure out a way to make that happen,” when asked if the vitriol prevented her from appearing in the spinoff Better Call Saul. She states that she was not “particularly afraid” of the hate. She adds, “The writers also felt so badly.” “They would occasionally come to me and say, ‘We’re sorry!’ Thus, it is an odd phenomenon. People adore the antagonist. They want to be the one who tells their manager, “Screw you,” and “I’m going to do what I want.” However, Skyler was the only one to expose the lie.
