Why wasn’t Claudia ever called a slut?

[Artur]

I wonder why anytime someone called Claudia names they always referred to her mental health but never to the fact, that she slept with two Carrington brothers and Jeff.
Even during The Reunion Talk Show Pamela Bellwood called the host the only one there she doesn’t remember sleeping with.
Claudia also switched family males more often than Kirby and Sammy Jo but she was the least hated daughter-in-law by Alexis . Was that forgiven to her because she was more mature or „the most dangerous if them all”?

I believe she also slept with a guy named Dean while married to Steven.
Alexis never raised the issue of class or social breeding in regard to.Claudia as she did with SJ and Kirby, although she did tell her she needs to dress more like a Carrington. Is it possible she actually liked Claudia?

 

[Matthew Blaisdel]

Maybe... and maybe she thought as well that Claudia was way more mature than Sammy Jo and thus better suited for raising Danny next to Steven.
Alexis knew that Claudia went trough a lot and still did try to make Steven happy and be good to Danny. Plus Alexis and Claudia both hated Sammy Jo, so they had some interests in common...

 

[Witchard Changeling]

Yes, it really wasn't right that they only focused on Claudia's mental health issues. She should have been called a crazy slut instead of just crazy.

A slut because she had a one stand night with Jeff and married two men who happened to be brothers ? Have you ever heard of women's lib... ?

What she was for sure : a poorly written character by the end of her journey , whom nobody knew what to do with, so she was paired with another Carrington brother. Which made absolutely no sense.

If Season 1 canon was respected... then Alexis wouldn't hate Claudia as much as Sammy Jo. Claudia's man was taken with Krystle just like Blake was taken with Krystle... plus Sammy Jo was Krystle's niece.

Sammy Jo could have been a girls scout and sweet... and because she was Krystle's niece and grew up working class.. Alexis would always view her as beneath her... while Claudia seemed to carry herself off in a more posh way after she recovered from her early season 3 nervous breakdown. Also, Alexis has never lived life with a full deck either so her judgement wouldn't sound when it came to Claudia or Sammy Jo.

Alexis did tell Claudia in season 2, their only scene together that season, that she'd always be grateful to her for any happiness she had given to Steven.
Also, when she fiund out Adam and Claudis had wed, she told Adam she wanted the marriage to work.

Maybe because she originally only slept with Steven in the Tea and Sympathy manner, because her involvement with Jeff was a one night stand after her husband was presumed dead and he was divorced, and that her involvement with Adam and the other man was,after she had been abandoned

Also, Cecil Colby also told her he wouldn't give her imformation about the missing Matthew and Lindsay if she didn't steal stuff from DC, so she slept with Jeff to do that.

I wonder why Claudia’s storyline was so aside from the rest in season 2. She lived in the mansion but she didn’t have any interaction with Steven and Sammy Jo or Fallon. When she returned Steven suddenly became her „boyfriend”, Fallon her employer and friend while Sammy Jo was turned into her main enemy. Ironically Jeff, who she had significant interaction with in Season 2 became the random family member, who she had nothing to talk about.
