How could Walt, Jesse, and Hank appear on the show?

Those are the big three from Breaking Bad, and since a lot of fans would like to see them, how do you see them appearing on the show? Or even if you think they can't appear on the show, why not?

-Walt is the one everyone wants to see but really there's no way unless it's a brief cameo. Which is fine by me. I think it'd be pretty cool to just suddenly see him with zero warning, even only for like 30 seconds.

-Jesse, like Walt is hard to get on the show because also like Walt he never met any of the characters until Breaking Bad. But I do think they could somehow tie him in with Nacho, since he wasn't on Breaking Bad. We know that in the pilot he's working as a meth guy, so maybe in one episode Nacho uses him for something similar.

-Hank is the easiest to have appear on the show without question. Working for the DEA, he could easily be investigating Nacho. And while he never met Gus or Mike before Breaking Bad, I don't think they ever said he met Saul for the first time in Breaking Bad. The first scene they appear in together is when Saul is representing Badger, and neither of them introduce each other, so they could get away with Hank and Saul interacting on a case.

I know not everyone wants them to appear and I don't they absolutely need to, the show will just be fine if they never show up.

I think Jesse and Hank would be the easiest to do. Jesse was still in the business a little before BB started and we saw his old partner earlier in BCS. A cameo could be possible, just not one in which Saul and Jesse meet each other. Hank was a big shot in the DEA, so seeing him in a drug bust could be easy to pull off.

Bryan Cranston has directed a few episodes of BCS, so I thought it'd be funny if he just decided to be an extra in a scene and wait until someone saw him. No lines or anything. Just Walt going about his day in the distance.

Agreed about Cranston, I was thinking one of the characters just bumps into him in the street or something, and it's revealed that it's Walt, but your idea would be really funny and cool too. It'd be funny for viewers to start freaking out when they suddenly noticed Walter White in the background of a scene.

Hank will be super easy to do. In fact he should have already appeared by now.

Why not just have them appear when the show crosses over into the Breaking Bad years? Gilligan and Gould have been saying from the beginning that this show will likely cross over with it as well as go BEYOND Breaking Bad. I'm not sure why people ONLY make suggestions for how they could show up in the prequel sections when it's been known for years now that this show will eventually cross over with Breaking Bad.

I didn't know they said it will cross over, but seeing as the show wasn't a certain renewal last year and actually took a while, I don't think it will be on long enough to pass into the Breaking Bad years. They're still a ways away from catching up.

That had nothing to do with ratings or anything. There was an article about this several months ago. I don't remember the exact details but there was a changing of hands within AMC and that caused the delay. They were waiting for the new management to complete before the renewal. The delay had nothing to do with the show's ratings.
