“We approached spirituality as well, which for an action show was almost unheard of. They briefly raise a child together, die for each other multiple times, and say "I love you" all the time. You can’t do a lame version because it’ll just flop.”

“I really love the passion of the fans,” he said. Just look for the love in the scene because all scenes are about love or trying to get love, trying to run to love.”
Lucy added, “I think people who didn’t wanna see it, didn’t see it. “Characters start to take on their own life, and it's an interactive thing — you're following back and forth with what's happening on the screen and what you're writing,” he told SYFY WIRE.
“We ended up doing slapstick emotional dramas, we did infanticide, patricide, all these different topics,” Steven L. Sears, a writer and producer on Xena told SYFY WIRE. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
1995's Xena: Warrior Princess was a groundbreaking show that centered on a woman warrior named Xena (Lucy Lawless) — a warrior in a fantastical world who could kick everyone’s butt — and her trusted partner, Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor).
The show covered a lot of ground, with each episode having the potential to bring something completely different to your television screen.
Running the Lilleth Fair or Miss Sappho 2024. This was before Xena was well known. Creating the visual effects for these otherworldly creatures was a challenge given the capabilities of the time and the show’s limited budget. It ain't Joxer.
But it wasn't all subtext between Xena and Gabrielle — the pair actually kissed. We didn’t know that was the case when we began the show.

“In the olden days, when people asked me if Xena and Gabrielle were gay, I used to say, ‘I’ll leave that up to the fans.’ But 30 years later, the fans have spoken.
You know, like galpals do! "There's so many things I want to say to you," Gabrielle says before Xena cuts her off. The three-part "Rhinegold" saga of Season 6 codifies that Xena is Gabrielle's soulmate, as Xena is the only one who can walk through magic "soulmates only" fire and awaken Gabrielle with true love's kiss.
The connection didn’t exactly surprise Sears at the time — he knew that there was often this subtext in the ‘90s around many same-gender characters.
Making Xena and Gabrielle queer, however, wasn’t something the writers set out to do at the beginning. I wore my full Xena wardrobe in public going to the ATM once during filming.
