The current research intends to investigate Vince Gilligan’s creation paths during the development of the character Walter White in the series Breaking Bad. A serial work created for the television is an open work, in constant evolution and development and subject to drastic interventions in its narrative path. The author who draws upon an initial proposition to develop such path must consider possible incoherences throughout the story, which could occur due to external interferences and characteristics of the market. Such aspect is not found in the story and this fact instigates is to investigate the paths which were created by the author in order to establish a natural progression for the character, without losing, however, the identity and the coherence of the narrative. Our focus is on the analysis of episodes of the series, as well as interviews given by the author and specific publications on the backstage of the creation processes, aiming to understand the interactions between script creation procedures and choices regarding the audiovisual resources adopted by the author throughout the seasons. We also discuss the series as a genre in the audiovisual context under the perspective of coherence development throughout time. Our theoretical approach is based on the concepts of author from Machado (2011) and Bakhtin (2010) in relation to criticism of creation process and networks of creation (Salles, 2000; 2006; 2008; 2013; 2017) as well as the semiotic signs developed by Charles Peirce
