Chloe Atkinson

Chloe arrives in December 2000 for an interview at Chez Marlon, run by Marlon Dingle, Kathy Glover and Rodney Blackstock. Tricia Stokes is unhappy at Chloe’s arrival, jealous that Marlon likes her. Chloe makes friends instantly and get on well with Charity Dingle, and she is amazed when she learns about Charity's affair with Zoe Tate. Charity and Chloe soon move in together and Zoe's brother and Charity's husband Chris annoys Chloe, as he tries to find out the identity of Charity’s secret lover, but she does not reveal anything.

Chloe and Scott Windsor start dating and move in together during 2002. Chloe is delighted to learn than Scott is jealous of her and Marlon, even though there is nothing going on between them. When Syd Woolfe moves in with Scott and Chloe, he begins causing trouble between them and sleeps with Chloe, leading to Scott breaking up with Chloe after finding out. She moved into Home Farm but got back with Scott in early 2003 after she felt sorry for Scott having to drink with his mother Viv Hope. Viv is unhappy about Scott reconciling with Chloe and sacks Chloe from the cafe. She later moves back in with Scott and Syd.

In Chloe's absence, Syd begins seeing Yolanda, a lap dancer from a club. Chloe is jealous of Syd and Yolanda's relationship as she still fancies Syd, and tries to resume their affair, despite being back with Scott. After Syd and Yolanda split up, Chloe begins flirting with him. Syd, however, is unsure about having an affair with Chloe again and rejects her initially. She later performs a lap dance for Syd. He arrives at Home Farm, while she was looking after Scott and Zoe's daughter, Jean, and they get passionate on the sofa, leaving Jean unattended. Jean falls to the floor, injuring herself. Chloe and Syd find her, but Chloe does not want to risk her job by going to the hospital. She hides Jean's injuries instead and lies to Syd about going to the hospital. Syd and Chloe’s affair continued, but Zoe was worried about her daughter’s constant crying while on holiday. Chloe passes it off as teething. Debbie Jones, who babysits Jean, leaves her unattended and soon she is injured again for the second time in weeks. This accident is more serious and Jean is taken to the hospital and it looks as if she may not recover. After learning that Scott is Jean's father, Chloe breaks up with her. Zoe is accused of child abuse but is cleared after Syd confesses that Jean was not strapped into a car seat. As a result, Chloe loses her job.

Chloe and Syd later split and she makes him look bad by lying that he hit her. She then moves onto Carl King, and they have a one night stand when Carl and his girlfriend Chastity Dingle fall out. Chloe is horrified when he returns to Chas. Chloe then schemes to get Carl by telling Chas he has been seeing his another woman and Carl's ex-wife Colleen was sending poison pen letters. The plan succeeds as Chas punches Colleen and Colleen tells Carl not to let Chas near their children. Chloe then begins working for Carl's family and flirts with his brother Jimmy and tries again with Carl, who was now single. They reunite and Chloe, desperate to hang onto him, invents a lie about being pregnant. Chas soon works out Chloe schemed to drive her and Carl apart. Chloe is then attacked by Chas who dunks her in a fountain, threatening to drown her unless she confesses. Chloe then admits she was never pregnant and leaves the village in disgrace on Good Friday 2005.
