Claudine is a weekly drama anthology named after its lead star, Claudine Barretto, by GMA Network. The pilot episode was originally scheduled on March 28, but it was moved to April 10. The show run for 16 weeks.
Claudine stars as the fiancée of Andy played by her real-life partner and longtime kapuso Raymart Santiago whose parents disapprove of his choice of partner. Andy fights for their love and they eventually marry. Soon after, however, Andy contracts a rare, early onset of Alzheimer’s causing him to gradually forget his love for his wife, and which pushes Susan (Claudine) to embark on a losing battle.
But one day Lemuel, her husband is back home alive and found out that his wife is pregnant courtesy of his best friend. And that is where the complication starts. Will Elena go back to her first husband or will she stick with her present husband?
But when Terry, the sister (played by Angelika dela Cruz) realizes she may not live long enough to always ensure that Kring-Kring takes care of her daughter the right way, she seriously considers giving up the child for adoption because of Kring-Kring's condition. Terry finds a promising foster mother in a childless doctor (Jackie Lou Blanco) who works at the center.
Just as the doctor begins to get attached to Kring-Kring's daughter, Kring-Kring tries to fight for her right as a mother and has to prove herself worthy of being one. Will she overcome the obstacles despite her difficult condition?
It turns out that the two of them were former drug addicts until their families intervened. The only difference is that Sandra was able to recover, unlike Jed who continues to lead a delinquent lifestyle. Sandra is consumed by guilt so she offers Jed some help as well as her friendship.
However, not only does she find herself still in love with her ex-lover, she also ends up taking the rough road back to self-destruction.
She eventually finds their home and applies as a yaya so she can finally be with her child before she dies. The wife (Carmina Villarroel) had no idea that the nanny she just hired is the real mother of the child as it was only her husband who made the arrangement in the past with Salve.
Rowena soon discovers the truth when her husband comes home from a business trip and finds Salve in their home. They accuse Salve of trying to steal the child and send her to prison. However, upon learning the truth about Salve's illness, the couple finally allowed Salve to make her final days count by being with her child.
Amidst the preparation for yet another pageant, the child’s biological father (Bobby Andrews) appears and starts claiming custody of the child. Claudine’s daughter ended up losing the pageant which frustrates Claudine even more. In a fit of rage, Claudine blames her daughter for how her life has turned out to be which naturally hurts the child. Cruzita runs away from home, and meets an unfortunate accident.
