After everything that Finn has put the Kennedy’s and their loved ones through, they are understandably tense about seeing Claudia again, who has always caused trouble for them. Though Claudia is sympathetic to the family, empathising with what they’ve been through, Elly initially remains cautious, trying not to forget her past behaviour.
However, Elly does understand that as Finn and his brother Shaun are both dead, Claudia has lost both her children. For this reason, Elly shows Claudia kindness, allowing her to spend some quality time with her only grandchild baby Aster. Claudia is grateful, and the Kennedy’s finally see another side to her.
However, there’s a twist when she later meets with Samantha Fitzgerald, who was last seen in 2010. Samantha, played by Neighbours director Simone Buchanan, first appeared in 2008 when she was introduced as the estranged wife of Dan Fitzgerald. Her main storylines included her struggles with bipolar disorder, as well as her love triangle with Dan and Libby Kennedy. In 2010 Samantha returned as a prosecutor when Steph Scully was put on trial for killing Ringo Brown in a road traffic incident.
Claudia has asked to meet with Samantha as she believes that she can help her gain custody of Aster. The possibility of Claudia trying to take custody of Aster has featured before, but Elly believes this is truly in the past and Claudia has turned a new leaf.
How long until she’s causing problems for Elly and the Kennedy’s again?
