O'Connor was chosen to play the role after she impressed producers with her performance in the Hercules television movie The Lost Kingdom.
In the two musical episodes, Gabrielle's singing voice was mainly provided by Susan Wood. In the episode "Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire", O'Connor sang the chorus in "War" and the rap lead in "Gettin' Ready".
Gabrielle is the French feminine form of the given name Gabriel, the Archangel, from the Hebrew meaning "messenger of God". The Greek transliteraion of "Gabrielle" would be Γαβριήλα, (Gavrila).
