The Breaking Bad writers wanted Skyler to be completely clueless about her husband for the entirety of the show. Anna Gunn pushed them to change it because it was ridiculous.

And for all the hate she got, imagine how much worse the show would be if the writers had gotten their way.

Great example, she became a much more interesting character once she found out and at some point not finding out would have made her really really stupid

Skyler got a bad hand from the start.

Like we see walter working too jobs then coming home and getting a disinterested handjob on his birthday.

I am glad they improved as kim was great

Exactly, the character was written as unlikeable from the get go and the writers, for as much as they were highly skilled, want to push all the Skyler hate off onto their audience when they put that stuff on the page from the get go.
