'Better Call Saul’ Star Patrick Fabian Talks Howard's Direction in Season 6
After a nearly two-year hiatus, Better Call Saul's Season 6 premiere is just days away! But as audiences settle in for the final chapter of Jimmy McGill's transformation into Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) of the Breaking Bad universe, there has been evidence that his partner and now wife, Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) is also making her own changes. Picking up from the Season 5 finale where Kim starts theorizing ways to torture their joint nemesis Howard Hamlin — played strikingly by Patrick Fabian — while also settling the Sandpiper case, Kim is a changed woman. Not to mention, the dramatic character shift redefines the nature of the series amid her face-off with Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton), proving she is a force to reckon with.
With fans wondering how far Kim is willing to go and her eyes now targeting Howard with Jimmy's help, Fabian tells PopCulture.com exclusively it will be an interesting journey for the three, especially as his character, who is also the senior partner at Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill, has no idea of the couple's scheming against him. Let alone, does he see either as a threat. "I don't think Howard has either, other than seeing the idea of, [Kim's] really not taking his advice and as much as he's let go of helping Jimmy, I think he reaches a point where he feels that Kim is all also far gone," he said. "At some point in order to move on with your life, you have to let people go. They're going to do what they're going to do. You really aren't going to change their behavior."
