 Similar to its predecessor, the main characters are named after the  actors who played them. However, since this film actually had a  script, writers Dick Beebe (qv) and Joe Berlinger (qv) had to  give the characters names long before casting. Below are the  characters names in the finished film and what they were called in  the 3 January 2000 first draft of the script: Kim Diamond, Domini  Van Teer; Jeffrey Patterson, Cotter Kaller; Erica Geerson, Heather  Arendt; Tristen Ryler, Anna Tassio; Stephen Ryan Parker, Nick  Leavitt.
