Valley's Claudia Excited About New Stories After Karl

Sunset Valley’s Claudia Leighton has spoken about how excited she is for her character’s new journey away from former husband Karl Cole. Speaking about the new stories for Claudia and the rest of the Leightons, the actress states “It’s quite exciting really. Claudia’s been at the mercy of Karl and Piper’s forbidden love triangle story-line for years, and now she can finally move on, with her new life with John”.
She continues “Of course, it comes with its challenges. John used to be Claudia’s stepbrother and unfortunately Amanda and Jonny can’t see past that. It is their problem as far as Claudia’s concerned. She is finally happy, and so is John. I think Claudia and John have a long journey ahead of them, and there are so many exciting plots this summer, for me as an actress, to get stuck into. Separating Karl and Claudia was the best thing to happen in my opinion. There is a lot of juicy drama for the Leightons this year that I’m looking forward to. I don’t think the Leightons have been this strong before”.
Our new producer Mary Kelley is so passionate about the Leightons. I think she wants to keep expanding the family (she laughs) There have been talks about bringing back Fred and Rachel. I think that would be fabulous! We have John, Marc and Audrey who are firmly incorporating themselves into the family”
