The tale of Claudia and David Naughton, newlyweds, just beginning their married life. Young, enthusiastic, and very much in love, they weren’t suffering from any medical maladies or suspicions of infidelity. Instead, they were simply facing the many challenges of any new marriage - finding an apartment, getting used to each other’s quirks, and learning to live together on a daily basis. Lacking many of the characteristics of a traditional soap opera, ‘Claudia’ didn’t offer the anguish and heartbreak that typified such long-running soaps as ‘Valiant Lady’, ‘Backstage Wife’, and ‘Ma Perkins’ - and, being sponsored by Coca-Cola, it even lacked the traditional sponsorship of a soap company.
