Overview
- In a new Times of London interview, Odenkirk says crew misread his collapse during Season 6 filming as laughter and COVID distancing kept people far apart, which slowed help.
- He recalls turning grey during the emergency and says the on-set medic arrived without CPR experience.
- Doctors fixed a blocked “widow-maker” artery without open surgery, performed a stent procedure, and prescribed statins, aspirin, and a beta-blocker.
- He says he has no memory of the episode and that his first recollection came a week later as he left the hospital.
- Showrunners briefly considered ending Better Call Saul, then he returned to set in September 2021 and finished the season.
