[1] She is kidnapped by the mafia for this, as bait for Daredevil, and though he is able to save her,[2] they mutually decide that it is too dangerous to become involved, in spite of the spark between them.

Claire does continue to give him medical aid as needed, while Murdock occasionally uses her position at Metro-General Hospital to his advantage.

[4] In the second season of Daredevil, Temple quits her job at the hospital, when it tries to cover up the death of her coworker following an attack by The Hand, and leaves Hell's Kitchen;[5] she arrives in Harlem, where her mother runs a diner, in Luke Cage.

[7] Temple begins taking lessons at Colleen Wing's dojo, through whom she meets Danny Rand in Iron Fist.

[14] Rosario Dawson joined the cast of Daredevil in June 2014,[15] and her role was revealed to be that of Temple in October of that year.

The series introduces Temple's mother (portrayed by Sônia Braga), and gives Claire "a large storyline ... [she helps] out a lot.

[26] Explaining the decision to have Temple appear across multiple series, which has been compared to the role that Nick Fury plays as "the connective thread" between the MCU films,[27][28] Marvel Television head Jeph Loeb explained that it was due to Dawson's performance, saying "It wasn't just that Claire fit so well in those worlds, it's that Rosario fit so well in those worlds.

[31] Dawson also expressed interest in making a cameo appearance in The Punisher, a spin-off series from Daredevil, but was unable to due to a scheduling conflict.

[32] I wanted it to really honor this journey I've had with her, and what she's been and what she's stood for, and what she means to a lot of people ... because [she shows that] you don't have to have special superpowers to make a difference and an impact in your community and to challenge yourself to grow and to be greater.

She did think that she would return to Luke Cage if it was renewed for further seasons, and again expressed interest in appearing in The Punisher at some point moving forward "just so I can feel like I've done every show".

"[17] Dawson felt that the character resonated with audiences, and was brought back for more series, because, "She's funny, she's wry, she's strong—she's built for that world, because she's great under pressure.
