That whole damn family line was awesome. Hector, Lalo, Tuco, the twins. Arguably the greatest villain family of all time.

I heard somewhere once, in the original script, Tuco was supposed to be Walt’s partner and Jesse was going to get killed off early.

They the chemistry with Jesse and Walt was so good in the first few episodes that the creator shifted and killed off Tuco.

Yeah I was gonna say he isn't even the best in his family. It's Lalo.

You'd think someone would be able to spell one of their favorite tv character's names correctly.

While it's true that the Pinkman character was initially planned to be only in the first season, I'm not sure how much the change (to keep his character) affected Tuco's character. Tuco was supposed to be around longer than he actually was, but the actor who played Tuco said he found it so stressful to become the Tuco character, that he asked to be killed off early. He also had an upcoming schedule conflict with another show he got a role in, so he was happy to end Tuco.
