Former Baywatch regular John Allen Nelson (Cort) returns to guest star in this episode.
Douglas Schwartz, one of Baywatch's producers, is also the only legally blind person in the Director's Guild of America. A condition called retinitis pigmentosa left him with just 10% of his vision, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Schwartz. "Everything I could see was in-camera," he explains. Schwartz managed to direct four or five episodes each season. The character of lifeguard John D. Cort would later suffer the same condition on the show.
