Tracey Ellis (Audrey Pauley) previously played Lucy Householder in Oubliette (1995), six years earlier.
Doggett's crying scene came from a dark place. His friend, director Ted Demme, had recently died and Robert Patrick was very raw with emotion on set.
Annabeth Gish performed all of her stunts, including one shot when she jumped from a 30-foot descender.
The casting department were initially not keen to have Tracey Ellis return to the show, seeing as she made such a strong impression as the beleaguered heroine of Oubliette (1995). They let her read anyway and were blown away by her interpretation of Audrey Pauley so she got the part.
