Xena and Gabrielle forever!
O’Connor, 50, guest stars in an episode slated to air this coming season. Her character, Clarissa Klein, is a self-help guru who butts heads with Lawless' Alexa as she tries to investigate the death of Clarissa’s spouse.
Lawless toldEntertainment Weeklythat reuniting with O’Connor onscreen was “always” something they wanted to do together.
O’Connor, for her part, had “some nerves” before filming since it had been a few years since she was last on a set. With that in mind, Lawless had O’Connor watch the show tape before it was her time to perform.

“It just felt like walking into Lucy’s living room and having friends over. It was so charming and loving,” O’Connor said. “And it was like that all the way to the very end. I actually had a little withdrawal when I finished filming.”
“I suppose because Ren and I also, we’ve played a lot of different roles with one another. It wasn’t like we were stuck in a certain mindset with our relationship to one another as actors,” continued Lawless, who also had a joint cameo with O’Connor in 2009’sBitch Slap. “We got to play dual roles and all kinds of things [onXena]. So, it was just more play.”
And for O’Connor, it was “even better” than she expected “because these characters were so different from Xena and Gabrielle, so there was more to play with in current affairs and relationships.”
