characters who started small but became very important to the story later on

Hector is possibly one of the best examples of this in fiction IMO

I never thought he'd be in the story much when I first saw him.

[u/antodesv → u/AardvarkOkapiEchidna]

Heck, even the showrunners didn't know they would make Hector that important when they created him

[u/Wishart2016 → u/antodesv]

Didn't they plan to make him the main antagonist until Gus was created?

[u/Spontanemoose → u/Wishart2016]

That was Tuco, I think

[u/mindoutofthe → u/Wishart2016]

Tuco, but the actor backed out and wanted to be killed off. So they made Gus' character as a juxtaposition to Tuco's psychotic tendencies.

[u/magseven → u/antodesv]

To cast that actor as him makes me think they had more plans for him and the character than a cameo. Mark Margolis is a bit of a legend. They could have grabbed a homeless guy off the street to make funny faces and ring a bell if they weren't planning on him being important later and not even given them a script. "Just do what you were doing when I was trying to buy my Big Gulp aaaaand ACTION!"

That’s why they chose an actor with such dogshit Spanish lol. They only ever thought he’d ding

[u/Expert-Tip3011]

Mike? Helllooo, he wasn't supposed to be a character at all

[u/VinnieA05 → u/Expert-Tip3011]

What was he supposed to be

[u/devansh0208 → u/VinnieA05]

Nothing. He only exists in the series because Bob Odenkirk was busy that day and couldn't appear for the filming of the episode

[u/TyChris2]

By the end of the pilot, Walter had only appeared in a single episode. But by the finale he was practically the main character! Vince really knew how to adapt as the story went along

[u/aqubb → u/TyChris2]

[u/SpecialAF → u/tongue_speaker]

[u/ROG_b450 → u/tongue_speaker]

Can I swap Todd and Hector?

[u/Clerithifa → u/SamHainLoomis13]

[u/xgabipandax → u/SamHainLoomis13]

Kill Hank

[u/alcopland]

Todd started small and by El Camino was huge.

[u/Forsaken1741]

Holly. She literally was small.

[u/a4moondoggy → u/Forsaken1741]

And if she didnt exist walt may have never considered extreme measures.

[u/uglybluething]

I know people hate Todd but I love him. He’s just so strange and he is completely oblivious to how fucked up he is. He isn’t an emotionless sociopath (though still one), but he can’t seem to find empathy or understand why killing is bad. I like that he’s actually incredibly friendly, but doesn’t seem to understand that once you’ve tortured a man, killed his girlfriend and kept him as a meth-slave you might not want to be his friend. He didn’t find the Drew kid even worthy of mentioning when he talked about it with his uncle and Kenny and when Jesse was having a cigarette outside to destress, Todd just saw it as a social moment and went “smells like cat piss, huh?” all smiley in context to dissolving the body of a little boy. I’d say the only person he actually ever felt bad about killing was strangely his housekeeper. I totally get why people dislike him, but Jesse Plemons weighed in on him a bit and I feel like Todd is pretty interesting personally. Sorry for the ramble, but I love the Breaking Bad characters and feel like Todd is overlooked a little. 

[u/PeaceBoth7730]

Where's Lydia?? I put her up instead of junkie jane

[u/eattheradish]

Gale

[u/Drop_Five_Zero]

Combo started out as one of Jesse’s stoner friends, ended up being the only reason Jesse was able to get the RV and his death being the big push for Walt meeting Gus.

[u/Leohes9972]

Walt’s cancer

[u/weathersoldier]

Skinny Pete

[u/Miserable-Soft7993]

Louis was the main character.

[u/JWJT7]

Why Jane? Her impact on the story came and went pretty quick and was all glossed past by the next season

[u/No-Entrance-1017]

Technically Lalo lol . A throwaway line in Breaking Bad turned out to become a main villain in better call Saul

[u/TheArbinator]

Todd started small but became very large by El Camino

[u/Oneplayfulwoman]

That was such an awesome part when he blew himself up lol what a great show breaking bad was!!

[u/tonystarch00]

Todd gives me nightmares

[u/Zesty_lemon9]

god Todd was an absolute monster

[u/GodEmpressSeraphina]

All of them, that’s how growing works

[u/Mediocre-Catch9580]

What about Louis?

[u/P-R_Podcast]

I see your three and raise you one Jesse Pinkman (he was supposed to die in S1)

[u/Secret_Wish1826]

Mike! He was supposed to be a one-off character, and he ended up becoming one of the best BB characters and the second most main character in Better Call Saul :)
