However Claudia was unable to return for either of the film's sequels, due to her mother being diagnosed with cancer.
She told the Huffington Post in 2017: 'My mother had fourth stage lymphoma... I had so much happening personally that deep down, I never considered reprising my role and deep in my soul, I knew this was the right choice for me.'
CSI star Elisabeth Shue replaced her in those movies.

Wells believes the film's fan base has grown over the years rather than dwindle.
Speaking to the Dallas Observer in 2019, she said, 'I didn't really notice [a fan base] because I was so accustomed to acting.'
'I starred in a ton of series and movies-of-the-week. I was accustomed to people wanting autographs and things like that.'
'I didn't notice the hugeness of the movie 15 years ago or 10 years ago. I notice it more now than when it came out.'
