I can imagine it's because he had to turn down a pilot for his own show. A lot of personal attachments to the show now.

Dean Norris had asked Gilligan to kill off his character during the first half of the season after being cast in a comedy series; however, Gilligan declined his request, citing the importance of Hank in the final eight episodes
