We all knew about Los Pollos Hermanos & Gus appearing this season. Still awesome, but I also liked seeing other BB characters who I forgot about.
I had to search who the guy in the car (who threw the cig) was, like so familiar but I forgot who - he's the one Gus killed in BB by cutting throat. And Francesca, wow she & Saul go way back, she knew him as Jimmy!

Re Francesca, I know! She's introduced as such a sweet, softly-spoken, kind of optimistic kind of girl in that episode of BCS. It's such a contrast to how she was in BB., I almost didn't believe it was her. Great acting from the actress who plays her

Yeah, she changed so much - all from Jimmy's influence on her, like look at him train her on the phone that was a simple but interesting scene.

Indeed. I'm thinking it's going to be v. interesting to watch her descend into what she became in BB. Looking forward to the next few episodes.

I had forgotten all about her. I wanna go back and look at her. Which episode of Breaking Bad was she in?

I don't remember exact episodes but her most memorable performance was in season 4.
Take a look at this scene with Walt and Francesca, it really shows the vast contrast between the BB Francesa and the BCS Francesca: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6LzaoGBeqE

Okay now I remember her. I remember that scene and laughing at her cynicism. Great scene. I'm not surprised by her change though. She seemed like someone with loose morals to begin with.

Thanks for that wonderful link. I didn't recognize her as the receptionist from BB, and the contrast is just astounding. I'm really looking forward to seeing her role develop in BCS.

I didn't think much of her when Jimmy hired her, but after seeing that clip I was like "oh", so she's not so sweet and innocent, lol.

I didn't recognize her AT FIRST but I think the length of her interview scene tipped me off. I was thinking why are they spending so much time on her? Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. And that broken glass scene immediately came to mind. Lol

She's slowly being corrupted because of Saul. I think she's sexier as a good girl though. 😍
