Andrew Stevens, a B-movie actor turned producer-director, conceived Scorned as a vehicle for his wife, Shannon Tweed. Known as the "Queen of Cable Erotica" due to her prolific work in the genre (including Night Eyes and Indecent Behavior ), Tweed wanted a role that offered more than just nudity. Stevens claimed in a 1994 interview with Femme Fatales magazine that the script was inspired by a tabloid headline reading "Wife Scorns Cheating Husband, Takes Revenge." He and Robyn Stevens expanded this into a 98-page screenplay over two weeks.
