Chloe Harris is a fictional character from the ITV soap opera Emmerdale, played by Jessie Elland.

Chloe was introduced as the sister of Gemma Harris, a dead teenager whose heart was given to Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) in a transplant.

Chloe is characterised as a sweet and genuine person who is secretly struggling with feelings of sadness, anger, and frustration.

She eventually loses interest in him and has casual relationships with Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) and Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter).

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.

[2] The initial audition for the role was a self-tape video, and a week after submitting it, Elland was invited into the Emmerdale studios for a screen test.

[3] A week after being cast, Elland began filming, an experience she described as a "whirlwind" due to the fast-paced nature of the soap.

[6] When she received information on the character, Elland thought that Chloe was well-written and felt a responsibility to put lots of work into the role and "do the part justice".

[3] Chloe is characterised as "very sweet and genuine, eager to please and make connections with people, but underneath it all she is struggling with a lot of sadness, anger, and frustration.

[5] The meeting is unsuccessful when both of the characters get overwhelmed and due to the failure, Chloe experiences "an even bigger mix of emotions" but feels grounded when she eventually forms a friendship with Sarah.

[5] When she meets with Sarah, Chloe receives numerous phone calls which she averts and then suddenly declares that she has to leave.

[8] In scenes aired in September 2021, Chloe opens up to Sarah and Noah Dingle (Jack Downham) about her troubled family life.

Kerry knows that Damon is a dangerous man and is scared of him, but is trusted with responsibilities aside from cleaning that include interacting with Chloe, which led to their bond.

Chloe and Amy Wyatt (Natalie Ann Jamieson) are "on guard with each other at first" but they eventually form a sisterly bond, which Elland said was an interesting dynamic to explore.

[11] Elland found it interesting that Damon, an off-screen character, had had such an influence on Chloe's personality, but hinted that he could eventually appear on the soap after he leaves prison.

[12] The actress was enthusiastic about the potential of introducing Damon and opined that a lot could happen for Chloe if the "gangster" arrived.

[12][13] When asked what she pictures when she thinks of Damon, Elland said that she imagines him to be a "stereotypical Northern man with a big ginger beard" and named Sean Bean as an example.

Kerry and Noah's mother Charity (Emma Atkins) ban the pair from seeing each other, due to feeling that their relationship would bring trouble for both families.

[14] Elland said that the runaway scenes were fun to film since she enjoyed working with Downham on location and the weather was nice at the time.

[4] His sudden change of attitude leads her to think Noah has "turned over a new leaf" and makes her keen to patch up her bond with him.

Elland explained that Chloe is engrossed in her feelings for Nate which means she cannot see that Noah's dishonest apologies and bad attitude.

Noah then steals her keys, lets himself into her bedroom and snoops around, taking photographs of her belongings, including her underwear drawer.

She confronts him on the photographs, and Noah reacts badly, by refusing to let her leave and holding her mouth as she tries to scream for help.

[37] The pair begin a relationship but it was confirmed that a twist would air in October 2023, as part of Emmerdale's annual "super soap week".

In August 2023, Emmerdale cast members were seen filming a car crash on a cliff for the super soap week.

[40] After Mack gets back with Charity, it was hinted by Emmerdale producers that a high-profile Christmas 2023 storyline would see Chloe get in contact with Damon (Robert Beck), her adoptive father, to get the "ultimate revenge" on him.

On 26 December 2023, in previously unannounced scenes, Elland made her final appearance as Chloe, leaving the village in a taxi.

Of her time on Emmerdale, she said:[42]I really got to tick off the soap bingo card – giving birth, discovering new family members, a big stunt, a soapy slap, and even a classic back of the taxi exit!

[...] Meeting fans of the show and hearing how much it means to them is such a special experience and never fails to make me feel so proud and lucky to be even a small part of something so loved.
