Eleniak later explained that her decision to leave the show was due to her dislike for the direction Baywatch was taking, which was exactly the same reasoning fellow cast member Billy Warlock gave for his departure.
- Shauni McClain's wealthy background, along with her tumultuous relationship with her father about her job as a lifeguard, would later be used for future lifeguard Matt Brody's backstory.
