Better Call Saul's Julie Ann Emery Explains Why Betsy Kettleman is 'Terrifying' to Play
One of the standout stars from Better Call Saul has been Julie Ann Emery in her memorable role as Betsy Kettleman. First introduced in the series in the pilot episode, Emery's Betsy and husband Craig Kettleman (Jeremy Shamos) were a big part of season 1's storylines when Craig was in need of legal services after embezzling $ million. The couple showed back up in the second episode of season 6, now running Sweet Liberty Tax Services a couple of years later with Craig having since been released from prison.
For the fans, it was a fun moment to see the Kettlemans return, given how memorable the characters remain five seasons later. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Emery spoke about how "terrifying" it was to slip back into that role, in part due to the pressure of being a part of such an acclaimed franchise known for its strong acting. She also feels that the role is symbiotic with Shamos' Craig Kettleman, as Emery can't quite get into Betsy Kettleman mode until she's with her co-star. Preparing to return to the role meant first spending time with

Julie Ann Emery's Favorite Betsy Line On Better Call Saul
Nearly one week after the two-episode "Better Call Saul" Season 6 premiere, The Hollywood Reporter spoke to Julie Ann Emery about her role as Betsy Kettleman, and what it was like to return to the character after a four season absence. At the end of their conversation, THR interviewer Brian Davids asked Emery to share her favorite Betsy line since her character returned to the series.
