Better Call Saul spoilers follow.
Better Call Saul star Rhea Seehorn has responded to theories that the latest episode of the Breaking Bad prequel spin-off will be Kim Wexler's last.
The latest season 6 episode 'Fun and Games', which aired in the US on Monday (July 18), saw Kim surrender her law license, pack her bags and leave Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk), telling him that they're bad for each other.
"Jimmy, I have had the time of my life with you, but we are bad for everyone around us!" Kim told him. "Other people suffer because of us. Apart, we're OK. But together, we're poison."
With fans already aware that Kim doesn't make an appearance in Breaking Bad, which takes place after the events of Better Call Saul, Seehorn was quizzed by Rolling Stone on whether episode 9 of season 6 was the final time she would be seen on the show.

The actress, who has played Kim Wexler since 2015, kept her cards close to her chest and said: "I cannot answer that. But, we had to film some things out of sequence, because of a location here or there.
"So even if I told you that I went back to film again, that still wouldn't answer that question of whether this is the last we see of Kim," she added.
In the same interview, Seehorn also opened up about filming the emotional scene and reflected on how she felt seeing the episode move immediately from the break-up to seeing Saul Goodman on his own in the future.
"It was alarming, and it was heartbreaking. I found it just an incredibly heartbreaking scene," she said.
"Because it is not about two people falling out of love. They still love each other deeply."

The Netflix star also noted that this scene marked the first time Kim and Jimmy dropped the L-bomb on screen, making it an even more poignant moment between the two.
"That scene is the first time we've heard them say 'I love you', even though I personally think they’ve said it to each other often off-screen before," she noted.
"But to hear him say it for the first time in the show, and her response to be, 'So what?' — and not in a flippant way, but her saying that it can't alter the erosion of who she is at this point.
"She's aware that whatever it is, whether he's the fire and I'm the match, or the other way around, the two of us together, whatever has happened, the road that she has gone down, she loathes herself far more than she has ill feelings about him. It's about herself. I just found it tragic and sad, and really interesting storytelling."
Fans of the show have long debated Kim's fate, speculating that Kim will meet her maker before the show wraps.
The sixth and final season has already seen the deaths of Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian) and Nacho Vargas (Michael Mando), two major characters who do not feature in Breaking Bad.
Better Call Saul airs on AMC in the US and on Netflix in the UK. The second half of season 6 premiered on July 11, 2022.
