This switch to meth-dealer, however, was understandably not supported by his wife Skyler.As the show progressed, some viewers grew particularly hostile towards Skyler, to the point where actor Gunn wrote an op-ed in the New York Times in 2013 titled ‘I Have A Character Issue’. In the post, she wrote: “My character, to judge from the popularity of web sites and Facebook pages devoted to hating her, has become a flash point for many people’s feelings about strong, non submissive, ill-treated women.”In an interview with The New Yorker about the backlash, Gilligan said: “Back when the show first aired, Skyler was roundly disliked.
