Skyler White, Flynn White & Marie Schrader
Has there ever been a more down ass chick on TV than Skyler White? We would really have to dig hard, because after knowing about Walt’s methamphetamine cooking with Jesse and notorious criminal life, she stuck by her man enough to have him in her kids’ lives. That was until the ultimate demise of their brother-in-law Hank Schrader, which even $80M offered by Walt to the Aryan Nation couldn’t save. After years of trying to help Walt battle with chemotherapy and even dealing with his criminal lifestyle, she finally got the closure she deserved. In the finale, her husband would show up at her small apartment for one last farewell to the family before Walt Jr. got back from school. Hearing Walt’s truth about why he did it all probably took off so much weight on her shoulders, especially knowing it would all be over by the next day. We’re hoping Skyler would find a better job after it’s all said and done, but if not, her son Walter Jr. has a trust fund arriving on his 18th birthday. Now heading into adulthood, Flynn has become the man of the house to look out for his mother and baby sister.
Speaking of Skyler, is there a nicer person on the series than Marie Schrader? The over opinionated widow of Hank Schrader was one of our favorites, from tending to Hank when he got shot, to offering any assistance to her sister Skyler and the kids. Besides her shoplifting habit, she was the type of wife most men only dreamed about. Even when Hank was being a complete dickhead to her, she still kept quiet and was loyal to her husband. When he died, that’s when Marie’s life turned completely upside down. She never believed Hank was dead, but now with the lottery ticket in Skyler’s possession, Marie will be getting some much needed closure in this chapter of her life.
For her to reach out to Skylar even after the monstrous acts Walt committed just showed how much she cared for the family and that blood was thicker than water.
