in may 2011, claudia suspects that audrey is the woman marc is seeing behind her back. her suspicions arise when she spots audrey at marc's house, only to be shocked when marcia enters the room; a disgusted claudia storms out. a few weeks later, claudia meets audrey in the rovers in an attempt to build bridges, however, marc appears from the bathroom, having been with audrey. a furious claudia walks out of the rovers firing insults at audrey and marc and telling them she does not want to see them again, before leaving. she is later mentioned when deirdre recommends claudia's hair salon against audrey's salon to newcomer, stella price (michelle collins). in 2012, rita mentions that she had to go to claudia's salon as audrey was fully booked, complaining about the loud music.
