Who knows. It's clear if you listen to Gilligan and Gould that they are only a few steps ahead of us in knowing where the overall story is going. In Breaking Bad, Saul was supposed to come to Jesse's house to clean up after Jane OD'd. Odenkirk was unavailable to shoot the scene so they auditioned people to play a cleaner to get the scene done. Jonathan Banks got the part. Imagine how different Breaking Bad would have been with no Mike.
They rely heavily on letting the cast and crew develop the people and places they write for and about and build from what works.
