Rhea Seehorn, who plays Bob Odenkirk's love interest on AMC's "Better Call Saul," told HNGN that season two would further explore the relationship between the two characters. As we've seen in the past two episodes, the pair has finally moved beyond their plutonic relationship to something more romantic. But according to Seehorn, viewers will see more of Kim and Jimmy as the two further explore their feelings for one another.
"She does not love Jimmy in spite of him, she loves him all-inclusive of him. She knows who he is," Seehorn explained to The Hollywood Reporter.
"At first, I was afraid like, 'Oh, did we lose something about the strange kind of mystery of those two?'" Seehorn said. "The weird, romantic sexiness that they have with each other is between the lines; it's intangible as only a 10-year-plus relationship with two loner-strange-outcast people can be, and suddenly it's being illustrated very clearly and in a traditional way for a moment... But then I realized quickly that that's the way Tom writes and directs, because that's his episode, and then in Vince and Peter's hands as our showrunners, it's never going to be sappy. It's just authentic. They just authentically have a sweet moment because they have a lot of different ways of being with each other."
What's more, "Better Call Saul" will peel back the layers of Kim's character a lot more this season. Seehorn teased that it may change the way viewers see her character as she could be cast in a different light.
"But it also said to me that there is another side of Kim that enjoys it from the sidelines or has a backstory that involves that. I'm not sure what yet. We're still exploring it, and we explore it a little bit more this season, which was fun."
Seehorn went on to praise the close intimacy that she shares with Odenkirk's Jimmy. She says she hopes that they are somehow able to make it work, even though all "Breaking Bad" fans out there know that this is a doomed relationship.
"Better Call Saul" airs Mondays at 9 pm ET on AMC.
