The character of Amber Choe is in part, inspired by Sondra Anderson and was conceived by the show's writer, Lorenzo Anderson.
Sondra Anderson never wanted to be an actress but when it became almost impossible to find an Asian-American actress that fit the character and was willing to film the very provocative scenes in Seasons 1 and 2, Sondra agreed to take on the role.
A lesbian scene in season 2 between Amber Choe played by Sondra Anderson and a character, named Heather, was so hot and over the top that the producers decided not to include the scene in the episode.
Alana Ramos who plays Cathy Carter was discovered on Instagram. She learned everything she could about the show and all but stalked the co-creator, Lorenzo Anderson, until he gave her a shot. She was told it would be a very provocative role and on the first day of filming with her, she did such a great job that her role is now one of the main four characters.
