Creator Jon R Baitz says The story lines for Saul were just starting to run on fumes, and we kept looking for more areas to explore with him-the business and stuff-but none of seemed as juicy as this. Next season, Saul's going to struggle to come to terms with himself and confront his shame- "I'm a nice Jewish boy I can't be gay." But it took me a month to ask Ron. It wasnt what he had signed on for and I thought "Is this really what he wants to be doing?" I hadn't even finished the sentence and he was like, "Thats great-why would that be a problem?" He's thrilled.
