Biography[]
2002-2021: Birth, adoption and life before the village[]
In 2002, Kerry Wyatt found herself pregnant with her second child after getting back with her boyfriend Tony. Knowing that Tony wouldn’t help her and not wanting her baby to be taken into care like her older daughter, Amy, Kerry went to her childhood friend Karen Harris for help. Karen and her husband, Damon Harris, agreed to adopt the baby as they wanted more children. Kerry gave birth in December 2002 and the baby girl was named Chloe by Karen and Damon. They soon legally adopted her and she was raised alongside the Harris’s daughter, Gemma, with her true parentage kept secret.
In October 2018, Chloe lost her sister Gemma in a car accident and was devastated by her death as Karen and Damon also struggled to cope following the loss of their daughter. In 2020, Karen died of cancer and Damon was sent to prison for money laundering, all of which upset Chloe. She was left alone in the manor with her only companion being the cleaner Damon hired to keep an eye on her, Kerry, though Chloe had no clue that Kerry was her birth mother.
2021-2022: Arrival, relationship with Noah and stalking[]
In August 2021, Sarah Sugden contacts Chloe and tells her that she received Gemma's heart after Karen donated her organs. The pair later meet up but Sarah then has second thoughts over her friendship with Chloe after Chloe asked to hear her heart beat as it was a connection to Gemma. However Sarah later decides she wants to see Chloe again, but as Sarah's family have forbidden her to see Chloe, she sneaks out and her teenage uncle Noah Dingle follows her. When they meet, Noah and Chloe get on well, later starting to text each other without telling Sarah. After a while Chloe "ghosts" Sarah, however she continues to chat to Noah. A jealous Sarah gets her grandmother Charity Dingle to bring her to Chloe's house, but Chloe is not too happy with their presence. The next day, Charity and her boyfriend Mackenzie Boyd break into Chloe's house but are stopped by Kerry and Chloe orders them to leave
Soon after, Chloe and Noah start dating, however Charity and Kerry do not accept the couple due to the fact that Chloe's father was very dangerous as well as Chloe’s treatment of Sarah. To escape the interfering pair, Noah and Chloe plan to run away to be together, and hide out in a barn. They try to have sex, but Noah is unable to perform after drinking too much wine and they are caught by Kerry and Charity, who tracked them down. Following this, Kerry plans for her, Chloe and her daughter Amy to move away together, but Amy refuses to go. Then Amy's house is trashed and it is assumed that Chloe's father, Damon, sent his thugs to do it to get Chloe back in line. Chloe visits her father in prison and tells him to stop all this but he responds by throwing her and Kerry out of The Manor, forcing them to move in with Amy.
In February 2022, Chloe cheats on Noah by sleeping with Jacob Gallagher and when Noah finds out he dumps her and verbally abuses her. Chloe tries to arrange for her and Jacob to hang out, but Jacob tells her that it was just sex, which upsets her. The next month, Noah is still hung up on Chloe and invites her to his party at the café. He flirts with Amelia Spencer, intending to make Chloe jealous, however, Chloe ignores his childish antics and decides to leave. She is later horrified to find out that Noah humiliated Amelia by telling her he was only using her to get at Chloe.
After this, he apologises to Chloe and starts doing nice things for her, so Chloe begins to forgive Noah’s previous behaviour. Chloe then gets a job helping out at Butlers Farm in order to support herself so she doesn’t have to rely on Kerry, but soon proves unsuitable for farm work. Chloe then accepts concert tickets that Noah gives her, however, Chloe also grows close to Nate Robinson, a farmhand at Butlers Farm, and skips the concert to spend time with him. Chloe later sleeps with Nate, but he tells her that he isn’t looking for a girlfriend and she accepts this. Over the next couple of weeks Noah makes several attempts at getting close to Chloe, which fail, so Noah resorts to stalking Chloe, taking measures such as taking photos of her without her knowledge and putting a camera and microphone in her bedroom.
In May, Chloe and Noah spend time at Jacobs Fold, but when Noah pops out, Chloe goes on his laptop and is horrified to find hundreds of pictures of her as well as video recordings from inside her bedroom. Noah returns and she confronts him, he responds defensively, blaming his behaviour on her for ignoring him. He then grabs her and puts his hand over her mouth as she tries to escape, just as Charity arrives. She is shocked at the scene and orders Noah to let her go, allowing Chloe to make her escape to the cafe where she tells everyone what just happened. After a game of cat and mouse between Kerry, Amy, Kerry’s boyfriend Al Chapman and the Dingles for Noahs laptop, Charity eventually reports Noah to the police herself and he is sentenced to 3 months in prison.
2022-2023: Pregnancy, becoming a mother and relationship with Mackenzie[]
On 1st September 2022, Chloe meets Mackenzie Boyd at a hotel bar after he argued with his girlfriend, Charity. Chloe and Mack slept together that night, but Mack texted her the next day telling her to keep quiet and Chloe agreed not to say anything about their fling. However, Chloe learned that she was pregnant a few weeks later and demanded to meet up with Mack. He did go to see her but she was hurt by his dismissive attitude and was unable to tell him about the baby.
In November, Mack learned about the pregnancy but Chloe refused his help after his previous treatment of her and told him she didn’t want him around the baby. Later, Chloe lied to Kerry and Amy that the father was someone she met on a dating app who had refused to support her. Feeling that there was nothing for her in the village, Chloe planned to leave to raise her baby and Kerry tried to convince her to stay. Chloe was adamant about leaving, until Kerry revealed Chloe that she was her biological mother, leaving her stunned as she had never suspected that she was adopted. Chloe decided to stay with her family and Kerry later told Amy the truth. Amy struggled with the news that Chloe was her sister and Chloe was hurt by her rejection.
A month later, Chloe and Victoria Sugden discovered Kerry’s boyfriend Al had been cheating on her and told Kerry. A devastated Kerry then left the village to work on a cruise ship, leaving Chloe and Amy together, however, Amy was very focused on caring for her son Kyle Winchester and avoided any of Chloe’s attempts to bond with her. In December 2022, Chloe attended the christening of Amy’s step-sister Amelia Spencer’s baby. Charity Dingle was also in attendance and Amy argued with her about Al’s affair with her cousin, Chas, and Noah’s treatment of Chloe, resulting in Charity shoving her to the ground. Amy had her arrested for assault and Chloe backed her up, but feeling guilty for sleeping with Charity’s boyfriend, Chloe changed her statement and Charity was let off. Amy was furious with Chloe and decided to throw her out, leaving a distraught Chloe homeless. Chloe decided to move in with a friend in Leeds as she wanted a fresh start and she then left the village.
In January 2022, Chloe returned after collapsing while staying in a hostel, which she had moved into when her friend’s offer of a place to stay had fallen through. She met with Charity, who insisted that Chloe stay with her at Jacobs Fold and made things awkward with Mack. Later, Mack tried to get rid of her by renting her a flat in Scotland, but Chloe said she wanted to stay, upsetting Mack. During her time living at Jacobs Fold, Chloe bonded with Charity and felt awful for deceiving her.
Chloe’s proximity made Mack feel guilty about betraying Charity and he told Chloe that she should know the truth. She disagreed and they argued about what to do, though Chloe soon conceded to coming clean about the baby. Their plan was put on hold, however, when Sarah had a heart attack and they had to take her to the hospital, but Sarah then revealed that she had faked the heart attack in order to stop them from telling Charity.
In February 2023, Chloe reconciled with Amy and gladly accepted her offer to move back in with her, with the sisters finally managing to bond as Amy supported Chloe through her pregnancy. On 20th April 2023, Chloe goes into labour and is taken to hospital, where she gives birth to a baby boy with Amy's support, which she is overjoyed by and she names her son Reuben at the same time Mack is marrying Charity. A week later, Chloe’s happiness is marred as Mack returns from his honeymoon with Charity and she instantly wants to meet the baby, so Chloe lets her see Reuben but is annoyed when she has to watch as Mack holds him, clearly emotional about meeting his son.
In May 2023, Chloe worries as Reuben won't eat and is not gaining weight, so she decides to try bottle-feeding him but he is still underweight. When he gets a temperature, a worried Chloe takes him to the hospital, where he has some tests done and she is devastated as he is diagnosed with bacterial meningitis, which might kill him. She is desperate not to lose her son as she refuses to leave his bedside with Amy there for her and she sees Mack comes to visit but he leaves without a word. Mack later returns and Chloe lets him see Reuben, with the two bonding as they stay at their sons side. Chloe is glad when Reuben starts to recover, but unbeknownst to her at the time, Charity had seen Mack with her at the hospital and soon exposes Mack as Reuben's father, ending their marriage. After he is thrown out by Charity, Mack devotes himself to being a father and Chloe is happy to have him around as he is well enough to leave the hospital, which elates them both.
Chloe lets Mack put his name on Reuben's birth certificate and even lets him have the middle name Boyd as she lets Mack into her sons life but Charity is a constant pain. Over the following weeks, Chloe gets feelings for Mack and, after spending the day with him and Reuben, she kisses him, but is left humiliated when he pulls away. She is hurt by his rejection, but Mack then tells her that he wants them to be a real family and the two start a relationship, to Chloe's delight. They keep this a secret for a time, in order to spare Charity further grief, but Chloe then attends Sarah's eighteenth birthday party, having Mack pick her up and Charity sees her kiss him. She reveals their relationship shortly after, while also announcing that she slept with Caleb Miligan, causing Mack to punch Caleb and making him a suspect when Caleb is almost murdered. Mack is arrested, but Chloe provides him with an alibi to get him out of trouble as their issues with Charity escalate. In July 2023, Chloe attends Nate and Tracy Robinson's wedding reception with Mack but she cannot resist throwing jibes at Charity the whole day, resulting in Charity throwing a pint over her head.
In October 2023, Chloe overheard Charity and Mackenzie discussing the fact they recently slept together in the pub toilets. A few days later, she and Mack went on a trip to Scotland and picked up Charity after finding her broken down. With both Mack and Charity in the car, she was about to confront them over their infidelity when a van crashed into the car, sending it rolling and leaving them stuck on the edge of a ravine. As the car started to fall Charity and Chloe both put their hands out in distress, but Mackenzie could only save one. He saved Charity, leaving Chloe to die. Chloe was trapped in the car as it rolled off the edge down the gorge, leaving her in an induced coma which she later awoke from. When she woke up, she pretended not to remember that Mack left her to die and didn’t mention that she knew he cheated on her, only revealing the fact she remembered when Mack left her with Reuben.
