Missed opportunity.
As Gilligan would eventually reveal, many hypothetical stories came up in the writers' room. One of them was the suggestion that Walt's long-suffering wife Skyler (Anna Gunn) would die as a result of suicide. By the show's final stretch, Walt's fragile double life has been completely shattered and Skyler has seen the extent of her husband's pragmatic sociopathy. It wouldn't have been entirely out of left field, but the ending they went with was better.
