Brief Character History
Not much is known about Claudia other than that she has a red shoe fetish and she prides herself on not being a lady.
Her mother had a relationship with Anthony but it's unclear if they were married. . What is known is that Claudia's mother loved Anthony and she died of a broken heart after he ended things with her and married a young beautiful woman named Maria. Claudia continued living with Anthony after he brought his young new wife home, but her life was difficult. She was a quiet and sullen child who had difficulty getting along with others. By all accounts, the only light in Claudia's life was her little brother Johnny, 7 years her junior. Unfortunately, Anthony was an unstable man and eventually decided to ship Claudia off to Milan, Italy to live with her Uncle Ray. Whether he was Claudia's maternal or paternal uncle is unclear. What is clear was that Ray was also in the mob. He laundered money for them so Claudia continued to be exposed to the seedier side of life.
She grew up quite tough and quietly learned the tricks of the trade. When Trevor realized that he couldn't control Johnny he decided to reach out to Claudia. He had hoped that she would help him rein her younger brother in. Claudia was more than eager to return home but rather than be the good little girl that Trevor expected, Claudia had her sights set on taking over the family empire now that her father was institutionalized and quite insane.
On the eve of her arrival in Port Charles, Claudia happened to find herself in a quiet little bar with Sonny Corinthos. Neither knew who the other was. Sonny was drowning his hurt over Kate's rejection of his marriage proposal. Claudia was waiting to be picked up by her father's people. Deciding to pass the time in more interesting ways rather than drinking, Claudia picked up Sonny. They ended up going to a motel room and having sex. They parted ways without exchanging names. Claudia quickly figured out that her mystery lover was none other than Sonny Corinthos, her chief rival for control over Port Charles, when she called a meeting between herself and the Five Families. Sonny made it clear that he wasn't about to hand over his territory to Claudia and so the lines between the two were drawn. Blurring the line though is the continuing attraction that Claudia feels for Sonny. Despite wanting control over Port Charles, she is eager to welcome Sonny back into her bed. Sonny isn't quite as eager. He is in love with Kate Howard and despite difficulties in their relationship Kate and Sonny are trying to work things out.
