When her role on Who's the Boss ended in 1992, Alyssa Milano feared having trouble to obtain other roles, aware of the fate of many grown-up child stars in that period. Nevertheless, Alyssa Milano was excited when she found out the show was cancelled, being ready "to move on." Alyssa Milano tried to shed her "nice girl" image by appearing in several films targeted at adults, such as Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story (1993), Embrace of the Vampire (1994), Deadly Sins (1995), and Poison Ivy II: Lily (1996), where she starred opposite Johnathon Schaech and Xander Berkeley.
