Claire Louise McLeod was the oldest child of John 'Jack' McLeod. She was born on Drover's Run, in 1973, to Jack and his first wife, Prudence 'Prue' McLeod. Prue died while giving birth to a stillborn son, Adam John McLeod, in 1975. Jack would later marry Ruth Silverman, who gave birth to Tess Silverman McLeod. When their marriage ended, Ruth took Tess to live in Melbourne, leaving Jack to raise Claire alone. Claire and Tess would not see each other again until after their father died, almost twenty years later before his death, her father started an affair with her housekeeper, Meg and having her a daughter named Jodi however, Meg keeps that secret and make look like Kevin is Jodi's birth dad, not Jack.

Claire spent her whole life on Drover's Run; she dropped out of school at age 15 to help her dad run the farm. She was very close with her dad before his death.

She attempts to start a horse breeding program on Drovers with Peter Johnson, the Australian Bloodlines local representative. They begin a romantic relationship while working together, which ends when Claire finds out that Peter is married and has a family in Queensland. They reunite briefly, which results in Claire getting pregnant. She gives birth to a daughter, Charlotte Prudence McLeod, in a shed on Drover's Run. Before Claire decides on a name, the baby is affectionately called 'BOM', for Baby of McLeod.

Not long after the baby was born, Claire and Alex Ryan begin a relationship, with Alex planning to propose to her during a party. Claire, Tess, and baby Charlotte are returning from town with party supplies.
