4889: Geoff throws Claudia out

Having confessed to Geoff that he isn't the father of her baby, Claudia is forced to deal with the fallout. Geoff is unable to comprehend how Claudia could have kept lying to him for so long knowing how much he was looking forward to becoming a dad. Furious, he wastes no time in throwing Claudia out. A furious Irene backs Geoff's decision and Claudia is forced to go to Martha in search of somewhere to stay. Martha agrees that Claudia can stay with her on the proviso that Martha can talk to Claudia's parents first. Claudia refuses and goes back to Irene and begs her to take her back in. Irene cracks and lets Claudia stay once she reveals she's not even sure if she wants to keep the baby anymore. Irene talks to Geoff, and although he initially refuses, he later relents on the condition that Claudia moves out of his room and stays out of his way.
