Rhea Seehorn didn't know Kim's fate in Better Call Saul for a long time...

Better Call Saul ended this year, and since the show was a prequel to Breaking Bad there were some characters whose fates were already sealed. A few of the show's main characters were already set to die in the original series, but all of the newcomers had to spend their years on the series wondering if they were going to last. One such person was Rhea Seehorn who played Kim Wexler, the fierce lawyer and longtime love interest of Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill .

"I had no idea. I definitely thought [Kim] could die," Seehorn shared."At some point, I started having storylines that weren't just ancillary to Jimmy, and I was thrilled, but I honestly didn't dare to dream. Patrick and I would laugh and flip through the scripts immediately and be like, 'I'm not dead!' It just became a thing of, 'I don't want to get out of this sandbox.' It's the best writing, the best character, and the best people.

Was Kim's Better Call Saul Ending Originally Different? While there were no plans to kill off Kim, Seehorn told Entertainment Weekly earlier this year that they shot different versions of the show's ending. In the finale, Saul ends up further confessing to his involvement in Walter White's empire and he gets a sentence of over 80 years. In the final scene, Kim shows at the prison as his lawyer, and they share a touching final moment.

"Well, we shot a couple of different iterations -- including ones where she shoots finger guns back at him. It was very small and not animated or with a smile, but still – in the end, Peter decided that it looked too much like they were saying, 'Kim is back in the game,' and we really didn't want to give that impression.

"It's very purposely left to interpretation," she added."Is this him just saying, 'Man, we had a great run and it's okay?' Or is it him saying, 'We're still great together. And we could still do something together. We could still legally do something together.' [Laughs] I took it to mean that he was saying, 'I still believe that we have a relationship.' In whatever capacity that is.
