‘Better Call Saul’: Another ‘Breaking Bad’ Favorite Returns (Spoilers)
15 May 2017 8:00 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Spoiler alert: Do not read until you’ve watched episode 6 of the third season of “Better Call Saul,” titled “Off Brand.”
She’s back! This third season of “Better Call Saul” has started to feel like a “Breaking Bad” reunion, as familiar faces have popped up from the original series that launched it all (including Saul Goodman, who makes his highly anticipated debut). So it was only a matter of time before a certain Stevia-loving sociopath made a comeback as well. She only got a few lines in her exchange with Giancarlo Esposito’s Gus Fring, but her return was noteworthy for what it may signify. “Well?” she asks him, as he inspects a large industrial property that’s for sale (for meth making, perhaps?). “It could work,” he replies. “Ok then,” she says. Hopefully we haven’t seen the last of the unforgettable Lydia Rodarte-Quayle.

Five Life Lessons Hoarders Overload Teaches Us

In 2009 thanks to A&E TV Channel we learned the clinical term for packrat. These people are Hoarders and the show of the same name pulls back the curtain on all the ugliness, danger and drama that goes with having a hoarding disorder. Particularly poignant is the effect the disorder has on the hoarder’s family, whether they just drop by from time to time, or have to endure living in the same house. For Season 9, Hoarders added a few aptly named “Overload” segments which dive even deeper with additional footage. After a few of these episodes aired this season,
