Chloe Harris is a fictional character from the ITV soap opera Emmerdale, played by Jessie Elland. She made her first appearance on 20 August 2021. Chloe was introduced as the sister of Gemma Harris, a dead teenager whose heart was given to Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) in a transplant. Elland was attracted to the role as she felt that Chloe is a well-written character and she felt a responsibility to do the role justice when she was cast. Chloe is characterised as a sweet and genuine person who is secretly struggling with feelings of sadness, anger, and frustration. This is initially explained through her grief for her dead sister, but later into her tenure, it is revealed that she has a controlling father who is in prison. Chloe's family home is installed with several cameras and her father hires numerous people to watch over her. Eventually, Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton), her housekeeper and secret biological mother, helps her to escape and invites her to live with Kerry in the Emmerdale village.
When Chloe moves into the village, she forms a relationship with Noah Dingle (Jack Downham). She eventually loses interest in him and has casual relationships with Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) and Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter). This led to a stalking storyline for Chloe when Noah forms an unhealthy and sexist obsession with her. Elland praised Emmerdale for covering a storyline about misogyny and sexism, a topic she described as "such a relevant conversation".[1] She also felt privileged to be given a topical and issue-led storyline. Later storylines have seen Chloe discover that Kerry is her mother and having a baby with Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) behind his wife's back. Chloe's final storyline, the introduction of adoptive father Damon (Robert Beck), accommodated Elland's decision to leave Emmerdale after two years. Her final scenes aired on 26 December 2023.
