Breaking Bad Season 5 Spoilers: Bryan Cranston Says Walter White Will Be `Very Satisfied’

`Breaking Bad’ Season 5 spoilers. First, let me remind “Breaking Bad” viewers, that I predict that Walter White will live. Long live Heisenberg. The “Breaking Bad” writers told us that right at the beginning of the season, showing Walt all full of hair and returning home in what looks like its way past whatever trouble he’s gotten into. I think he took it on the lam.

Bryan Cranston, who inhabits both Walter White and Heisenberg in “Breaking Bad” and Dean Norris, who plays Hank Schrader, the DEA Agent who’s out to get Heisenberg and is willing to give up his health and family for it, talked to RadioTimes.com and provided some of their own `Breaking Bad’ Season 5 spoilers.

Bryan Cranston’s `Breaking Bad’ Season 5 spoiler teased with the hope that “Walter would be very satisfied with what he’s done. And he is." Yes, Cranston says Walter White, the drugs kingpin in hit AMC drama Breaking Bad, will find “catharsis” by the end of the series end. But Cranston told RadioTimes.com that it will cost him.

Cranston said, “I think some will feel that, and yet what is the price that he paid? Just like [William Shakespeare’s] King Lear what was the price? He had the loss of his daughters, the splintering of a family and disintegration of a great king and a man to resemble a shadow of himself.”

As the mild-mannered-High-School-chemistry-teacher-turned-ruthless-evil-genius-Crystal-Meth-cook continues his moral slide, Cranston said viewers will go back and forth on whether to cheer him on, “Here’s my prediction. Before all is said and done, you will continue to vacillate in your appeal and sympathy toward him and then your absolute anger toward him. And yet it is a tragedy. We’re talking about a Shakespearean story. This is about the downfall of man.”

Cranston’s Walter White is the modern everyman. Faced with cancer bills, he can accept his faith or take action into his own hands. Walter White breaks bad in a way anyone might do with such a choice. Cranston says “The thing that affects people when they’re watching a tragedy, whether it’s Shakespeare or contemporary, is that the potential of the human being, the potential of a person, was there and it didn’t work out. If we’re introduced to a character that’s despicable and they continue their despicable nature, we don’t sense that as a tragedy because we hated them from the beginning. They’re just the villains.”

Cranston spilled the “Breaking Bad” in typical in your face evasion, "These last eight [episodes] is exactly what he had hoped for. And my hope was that he would be very satisfied with what he’s done. And he is. The ending of Breaking Bad is very unapologetic and appropriate and exciting. It’s a roller coaster ride.”

Dean Norris, who is hot on the trail of his brother-in-law Walter as Agent Hank Schrader, clued RadioTimes.com into a “Breaking Bad’ Season 5 spoiler, saying “I think it comes to a tremendously satisfactory ending. I think these eight are the best episodes in the entire series, which means a lot because we have a lot of great episodes. Nothing is left and we put it all out there. Nothing is left on the table. It’s everything we’ve got. Acting, writing – it’s all out there.”

“Breaking Bad” ends its run on September 30.
