Felicity Huffman (Lorna Colm) & Justine Bateman (Annie) also worked together on five episodes of Desperate Housewives (2004) as Lynette Scavo & Ellie Leonard respectively.
Asked about the X-rated underwater sequence with Eric Stoltz, Kim Dickens said,"The whole project was about showing people in a real fashion. Wayne wanted to make it very real, and Eric and I wanted to make it very real because we think sometimes sex scenes are cop-outs. Also, it was a taboo situation, and there's something that's even more heightened about that as it's happening. That's just a characteristic (of the relationship) - you can't color it good or bad." During the big swimming pool scene, shot during one intense 10-hour day, Dickens is clearly seen grabbing hold of Stoltz's penis, before she straddles him and begins having sex with him. "The irony is that once Eric and I were down there without masks on, looking at each other underwater, we can't really see much. We just took the leap of faith, and we did it, and we felt good about it because it felt kind of real."
