52 Why was Hudson Leick playing Xena in "Intimate Strangers" and "Ten Little Warlords"? (Xena: Warrior Princess)
As previously noted, Lucy Lawless was seriously injured while
performing for a skit on "The Tonight Show" on October 8, 1996.
At the time of her injury, Lucy had already completed filming for
ten episodes:
"Orphan of War"
"Remember Nothing"
"The Giant Killer",
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"
"The Return of Callisto"
"Warrior...Princess...Tramp"
"Intimate Stranger"
"A Solstice Carol"
"The Xena Scrolls"
"The Execution"
"The Price"
Although there has been no official confirmation from MCA about
how the shuffling was handled, consensus among the fans, based on
comments made by MCA/Universal and some of the show's staff, is
that "Ten Little Warlords", already written, was altered to be a
"sequel" for "Intimate Stranger". Hudson and Renee were
immediately flown back to New Zealand to re-film the end of
"Intimate Stranger" to provide a "bridge" to the new episode.
"Ten Little Warlords" was then inserted into the airdate schedule
and reruns of earlier episodes were scheduled. Bruce Campbell
was also flown to New Zealand to reprise the role of Autolycus,
the King of Thieves, in at least two episodes.
