• TV Guide speaks with Jonathan Banks, who says of Jimmy and Mike that "Jimmy's irritating, but I think Mike's also amused by him. If you said to Mike, 'You know, you're gonna end up working with this guy,' he would be a little surprised by that."

• "It’s not only about Kaylee. It’s about his daughter-in-law. He’s participated in taking the man that was her husband, the father of her child, away. He owes her his life, essentially," says Jonathan Banks to Yahoo TV about why Mike is able go on after his son's death.

• Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Jonathan Banks previews "Five-O" and says Mike's granddaughter is "the only connection he has left to his son. Whether she's in the cradle or whether she's 5 or whether she's 12, he's just desperately in love. That's his granddaughter."

• Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould appear on The Rich Eisen Show and tease, "I think we will be seeing more of Omaha because how could you not want to see ultimately where this guy winds up?"

• Interviewed by BuddyTV, Julie Ann Emery, who plays Betsy Kettleman, says, "I LOVE that Betsy is [Jimmy's] first true corruption. The first time Jimmy/Saul takes a bribe is not from a drug dealing gangster like Michael Mando's Nacho [but] it is from a suburban, All American housewife."
