Introduced by former executive producer Edward J. Scott as the daughter of trusty Chancellor family maid, Esther Valentine (Kate Linder), the character was born onscreen on July 27, 1990.

On February 6, 2008, executive producer/head writer Josh Griffith introduced a new character, Chloe Mitchell, played by former All My Children actress, Elizabeth Hendrickson.

Hendrickson expressed pleasure in portraying a vixen, stating that it was her idea to make the character "edgy and funny" instead of "some girl who was putting on fancy clothes".

After brief marriages to Cane and then Billy, Chloe begins an unsuccessful streak of relationships with men including Chance Chancellor (John Driscoll), Ronan Malloy (Jeff Branson), and most recently Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart).

Hendrickson's performance has been met with critical acclaim, having garnered her four Daytime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2018.

The actress felt that her family reveal proved that she's not "this bitch who likes to destroy people's lives", attesting her behavior to not being raised by parents; "She never had anyone tell her wrong from right," Hendrickson stated.

[25] Her backstory revealed that Chloe hadn't seen her mother or her employer Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) and Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) since she "was young and overweight with braces".

[1] Chloe's first romantic relationship is with the man believed to be the millionaire son of Jill Abbott, Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard).

Hendrickson compared their relationship, which ensued as a result of Chloe practically "threatening him", to the psychological thriller film Fatal Attraction (1987); "I've definitely channeled my inner Glenn Close at times.

"[29] Chloe disrupts the pairing of Cane and Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), creating a "bitchy" rivalry between the female characters.

Of Chloe's "heartbroken" reaction to his "death" in spite of the bitter break-up, Hendrickson said, "to open up and show what was going on with her was a great release for me, because that entire time she was remaining strong and stable, and like no one is going to mess with her.

[37] Jeff Branson was also hopeful for the pairing, commending them for bringing out a "different side" of Ronan, describing them as "a chance for him to drop the frosty, crusty exterior he puts on because Chloe really gets under his skin, but in a good way.

"[38] Another pivotal romantic relationship for the character occurred when Chloe began dating her best friend Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart).

"[47] For the 39th Daytime Emmy Awards, Hendrickson submitted the scenes in which Chloe is informed of Delia's leukemia, which allowed her to receive a nomination in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

Hendrickson felt that it was hard to have her on-screen daughter die, but she was pleased to have an "emotional storyline" that you can "sink your teeth into", stating, "I had been wanting [one] for a long time, which I really haven’t had since [Delia] got cancer.

[52][53] Due to her rough medical history and weak immune system, Delia succumbed to her injuries and died after being rushed to the hospital.

Did I mention Delia is also the child of Kate Valentine aka Chloe Mitchell, herself the goddaughter of Katherine Chancellor, whose death the canvas is still reeling from?

Esther's employer Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) pays for Chloe to attend boarding school at a young age.

In 2008, a feisty fashion consultant named Chloe Mitchell arrives in Genoa City after being hired by Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard) to handle his girlfriend model Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), The Fresh Face of Jabot Cosmetics.

The couple join forces with Adam (Michael Muhney) and Chelsea Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) to start a fashion website entitled TagNGrab.

Their marriage flounders as Kevin continues to steal and lets Chloe spend a night in jail for his crime, and they decide to get a divorce, which particularly affects Delia who adored her stepfather.

However, Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) expresses suspicion to Chelsea over Chloe's possible role in Adam's death and her crimes are revealed at her wedding to Kevin; once again with Victor's help, she arranges to disappear again.

They move to Portland, Oregon under different names and disappear; however, Kevin later returns to Genoa City with Bella, with no mention of Chloe's whereabouts as she is believed to be dead.

In August 2019, Chloe is arrested and brought back to town but Michael is able to get the charges dropped against her and get her out of custody considering he was the new district attorney.

In 2021, Chloe is offered a job by Adam at Newman Media to help create a fashion division at the company as she is hesitant at for but ultimately accepts.

Thanks to this past year’s writers’ strike, daytime-TV fans have been treated to a rare gift: the birth of what could become one of the most legendary bitches in soap history, thanks to The Young and the Restless casting acting sensation Elizabeth Hendrickson as mean girl Chloe Mitchell.

"[29] Jillian Bowe of Zap2it credited the character as a "quirky fashion diva", and penned the reunion between Chloe and Esther "long overdue".

"[62] In contrast to a positive early response, Zap2it placed Chloe and Kevin fifth on their list of "10 Worst Soap Opera Couples of 2012" by the end of the year.

"[63] In June 2013, over two years into the Kevin/Chloe romance, Luke Kerr (also of Zap2it) said, "I love Greg Rikaart and Elizabeth Hendrickson separately, but the Kevin/Chloe pairing has gone from a nice, Crimson Lights latte to rotten, spoiled, curdling milk.

Kyle Anderson of MTV News noted the song "Blame Game" by American rapper Kanye West to contain a reference to the character of Chloe Mitchell.
