"And I think to myself...What a Wonderful World"

A wonderful world without Claudia. Everyone give three major reasons why Port Charles is going to be a better place without Claudia in it. I think this can be done in a semi-respectful way. We'll see.

my three:

1. The really weird brother/sister relationship between her and Johnny will be no more.

2. It will finally end this horribly prolonged storyline.

3. There will be one less liar in the scheming infested town.

Ok,
1. I agree with your #1 because her fixation on Johnny's personal life is creeping me out.
2. I won't have to watch her and Sonny maul each other and call it sex. (Seriously, those two in bed is like watching a bar fight.)
3. The profanity will be immediately reduced by half since she won't be calling every other woman she talks to a b_____, w_____ or s____. The less we hear it every day, the more effective it is when they have a character cut loose with it.

Ahhh, it didn't have to be this way. She coulda been a contenda'.

...might I be so bold as to add two to your excellent list Jasam...

>>>All of the screentime that's been eaten up by this character can be allocated to other more interesting characters.

>>>I can stop being sad that such a talented actress is being wasted playing such a vile character.

I'll have to come up with a third later...I'm off to get my children ready for school.

Great thread! Looks like most everything has been covered, but how about.....

Less black and red clothing on screen.





It's just a show!

Although to an extent, I'll miss Claudia (mostly becasue SJB is fabulous and the character had SO much unrealized potential ~ $@%#$@@ writers !$#$&*#@)

1) No more going after children. Sending Jerry after Michael and Kristina is just plain wrong.

2) No more creepy, "You love me more" to her little brother Johnny

3.) No more scared little girl lashing out and trying to portray Billie Badarse then crying wah wah wah when her stupid, from the hip, never thought out plans go awry and then trying to defend herself with the TIRED "but what about me" or "I didn't MEAN to".

And yet, when she's gone...who shall we hate. Hmmm? Who will step into the role of the anti-heroine?

Very good question! Will Carly return to her banshee days or will someone else step up to the plate?

Kate gets my vote. I think she has all the attributes needed to make an outstanding villian like character.

I'm just happy Claudia's history for all the reasons everyone has stated. Such awesome potential...gone terribly wrong.

Amen to that! Horribly prolonged is putting it nicely.

For me it would have been a wonderful world if Guza would have followed the path of the scab writers. When Claudia first came to Port Charles, Trevor and his right hand man were talking on the docks and we saw Claudia laying out her clothes and a red pair of shoes. There was also another interesting scene shown. A man and woman in a room listening to their conversation and they looked like CIA talking and spying on Trevor Lansing saying that Claudia was coming to him meaning Johnny. It was intriguing because it was like espionage; but, Guza rewrote Claudia and that scene was never mentioned or shown again; but, I will never forget it. I saved that YouTube scene in my favorite; but, I just don’t remember where.

I've forgotten about that. And it would have played so well into the Agent Raynor storyline, the Russian storyline and the Sonny takes over the Zacharra organization storyline.

Yep, the writers really REALLY screwed up this character but good. And it's a shame because I bet Sarah Joy Brown would have stayed to play out those scenarios instead of the mess that was Claudia we got.

alikat, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who remembered that scene. TPTB most really think we are 3 years old.

I remember the scene with the red shoes and also one showing a young girl wearing worn out red tennis shoes...a young Claudia??? There was so much potential with Claudia early on, ie. Trevor molesting her a teenager then her being sent to Italy, I actually thougth we'd find out Johnny was her son. Also they tried to force the Sonny/Claudia relationship because of the chemistry between MB and SJB. TSW should have let it play out.

So the only thing good about her leaving is the end of a totally misplayed story line.
