Xena: Warrior Princess: Why Xena and Gabrielle never got together

-
Aside from the anguish over — 15-year-

old spoiler alert! — Xena’s death in the series finale, one of the biggest questions that came out of Xena: Warrior Princess is why the titular hero (Lucy Lawless) and her bard Gabrielle (Renee O’Connor) never become a couple.
As discussed at length in our Xena oral history in this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly, soon after the show’s 1995 debut, fans of the syndicated series, particularly those within the LGBT community, breathed life into the relationship. “The name Xena means ‘stranger,'” Lawless says of the former warlord spared by Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) to embark on a journey of redemption. “She felt she was irredeemable. That friendship between Xena and Gabrielle transmitted some message of self-worth, deservedness, and honor to people who felt very marginalized, so it had a lot of resonance in the gay community.”
But on the creative side, there was a specific reason why it never came to fruition. “We didn’t really ever want to get them 100 percent together for a very strange reason,” executive producer and co-creator Rob Tapert says. “There was Ares [Kevin Smith], God of 
War, who we loved. We did not want to give up the hold that character had over Xena and the enjoyment we had with telling stories of Xena and Ares. So as much as we liked that Xena and Gabrielle were two people who were the best of friends, and perhaps intimate friends, we never wanted to give up Ares.”

Өөр залуучууд руу сээтэн хаях Найз залуутай, нөхөртэй байж, өөр хэн нэгэн аятайхан залууд тал засаж, тэдэнтэй ярилцаж, харилцаа тогтоохыг хүсдэг, харилцаандаа үнэнч биш бүсгүйчүүдэд залуус үнэхээр дургүй, бүр үзэн яддаг ажээ.

Гэвч шинэхэн харилцааны явцад тэд хуучин залуугаасаа салаагүй, ганц бие биш болох нь мэдэгдэж, байдлыг бүр ч дордуулдаг байна.
