Brief Character History
Chloe was raised in numerous foster homes throughout her life, always told that her parents had died in a car accident. She learned the truth one day when Mrs. Rush, the director of the home where she was staying, introduced her to Nancy (she had called Nancy, asking her what the heck she should do about Chloe). She agreed to come back to Salem with Nancy, even agreeing to Nancy's request that Craig not know she was her biological daughter. Instead, she was 'the daughter of a friend'. After overhearing an argument between Craig and Nancy, Chloe stole some money from Nancy and ran away. She watched as Nancy got hit by a truck, but it didn't stop her. She changed her mind when she heard that Nancy was in a coma, and returned to Salem. Her singing woke her mother up.
Her initial relationship with Craig was very tense, because she constantly had to lie about who she really was, but they soon found an even ground they could communicate on, even becoming friends. Craig was a valuable friend once Chloe started Salem High. Aside from dressing in all black, Chloe's high wall of defensiveness translated itself into cold cockiness and condescension, and she immediately made enemies among her fellow students because of her attitude. Things escalated, with people going so far as to leave dead chickens on her doorstep. Luckily for Chloe, two kind-hearted students (Shawn Douglas Brady and Isabella Black) took pity on her, and struck up a friendship. But it was Philip Kiriakis who followed her to the docks the night she sang an aria for Shawn Brady's birthday.
Things went topsy-turvy again when Nancy's father Dr. Albert Miller came to town for a visit. He realized the truth, that Chloe was the daughter Nancy had years earlier. Tempted to leave town with her grandfather, Chloe finally decided to unburden herself to Belle, and tell her the truth that Nancy was her birth mother. Chloe decided to stay, and walked in on Nancy telling Craig the truth about who she (Chloe) was. Craig briefly walked out, but returned home to accept Chloe. Good thing...Chloe soon began sniping at Nancy and pushing her away at every given opportunity, and it was Craig she would turn to.
Philip and Chloe were growing closer and closer. It wasn't Chloe saving Philip's life that pulled the two together though...it was Chloe's appearance when Philip took her to the Last Blast dance. She blew him away when she showed up in a tight red sheath, and she was shocked when he took the dousing of chicken blood meant for her (after Shawn pushed her out of the way). They almost kissed, but Nancy interrupted the two, infuriating Chloe again. Later, when she found out Philip called off a date with her, she vowed revenge (not realising that he was working hard to get his mother and father back together).
Chloe's life took a nosedive when some new houseguests moved in...Mimi and her family (mother, father, brother). It turned out that her father had lost her job, and they had been living on the streets. The teens set up a Habitat for Humanity thing, and the Lockharts needed somewhere to stay...the Wesley house was the place (Craig and Nancy were trying to improve their public image). But Chloe didn't want them living there...and embarked on a campaign of her own to get the them out of her house. It didn't help that her relationship with Nancy was quickly deteriorating.
Chloe and Philip finally had their first kiss, but it was marred by soon finding out that the only reason Philip had asked Chloe to the Last Blast was because he had lost a bet to Shawn Brady. She ran from everything, encountering Brady Black on the docks. They traded barbs for awhile (particularly him telling her that her singing has no passion), before parting ways. They encountered each other again on Halloween, him dressed as Zorro. They continued to spar, but Chloe was soon officially dating Philip. She even accompanied him to the coronation, and forged a friendship with Stefano DiMera. She was there for Philip after the news hit that Victor was dead.
Chloe and Philip almost became lovers in the stables on the Kiriakis estate, but were interrupted when Victor showed up. Chloe was shocked...Victor was supposed to be dead! Then she was furious. Philip had no right to keep it from her. She didn't even try to see his point, and ran off. When Nancy and Craig found her, she told them that Philip had raped her. She later recanted (after Craig punched Philip), but justified what she did by saying that Philip had no right to lie to her.
She and Philip reunited, but after Jan and Mimi posted OperaGirl.net photos of Chloe in the shower at the Last Blast dance, Philip blew up at Chloe, calling her all manner of horrible names. Although Philip tried to get back together with Chloe, she just couldn't trust him anymore, and refused to go on the class trip to Puerto Rico. She soon began hanging out with Belle's brother Brady (all her friends were on the island), but Philip was still a part of her life. When he learned she was spending time with Brady, he again verbally attacked her, but Chloe kept making excuses for him.
Although Brady was in love with Chloe, Chloe was still torn between her feelings for Philip and her newly born feelings for Brady. Chloe is getting things back on track with Philip again when she stars experiencing health problems. Eventually she is diagnosed with leukemia, and her family begins looking for her birth father in the hopes of a bone marrow transplant. She and Brady go looking for Frederick Sykes, Nancy's rapist. While on their journey, Philip arranges to have Brady arrested in an effort to destroy Brady and Chloe's friendship, and after seeing the truth about Philip, Chloe tells him it's over forever.
Brady and Chloe slowly begin moving toward Romance as Chloe continues to look for her biological father. When they finally find Frederick Sykes, he tells them there is no way he is her father ... he had a vasectomy years ago. Back in Salem, Craig does some investigating, and shocks Nancy with the news that HE is Chloe's biological father. Luckily, the child that Nancy is carrying turned out to be a perfect match for Chloe, and she received the bone marrow transplant she desperately needed. After recovering, Chloe again had the chance to sing for Cecilia Marin, who offered her the chance of a lifetime. Although she was deeply in love with Brady, Chloe left Salem to give her dream of singing a chance.
Chloe came back to Salem at Victor's insistence in December of 2003. Although she initially planned to stay and be with her true love, Brady, an opportunity of a lifetime came up and Chloe couldn't turn it down. She left Salem, and Brady, behind only a few days after coming to town. A few months later she was in an accident and, after being horribly scarred, forced her mother to tell the world that she was dead because she couldn't bear anyone to see how she looked now. After learning there was a surgery that could restore her looks she agreed to go to Salem for a radical surgery, as well as tell Brady that she was still alive, as she now trusted his feelings for her enough to tell him the truth. Even before they knew the surgery was a success, Chloe accepted Brady's marriage proposal, although she had cold feet on more than one occasion. On their wedding day, she revealed her new face, perfect in every way, and after marrying she and Brady left Salem for their honeymoon.
Chloe returned for the Salem High Reunion in November of 2008. Residents of Salem soon learned that she and Brady were no longer together and that Brady was missing. Chloe gave various lies as to why Brady wasn't with her- he was traveling, they were divorced, he had been kidnapped. Ultimately viewers learned that Brady had become addicted to drugs and Victor had kidnapped him and put him into rehab. Chloe went to visit Brady in rehab where she was served with divorce papers. Chloe and Brady divorced on May 27, 2008.
Chloe started a "friends with benefits" relationship with Phillip, but she eventually fell for Phillip. Unfortunately, Phillip was not looking for a monogamous relationship and took up a flirtation with Morgan Hollingsworth. Crushed, Chloe looked to her new friend Lucas for comfort.
Lucas and Chloe became close while plotting to defend Phillip- who was a person of interest in the John Black DiMera fire case. Phillip was suspected of setting fire to John's warehouse. However, Lucas witnessed the real arson, Paul Hollingsworth, fleeing the scene. Unfortunately Lucas witnessed the flee when he broke his house arrest to visit the docks. Since he could not testify to what he saw, Chloe agreed to talk to the police as if she had seen Paul. Lucas and Chloe's scheme made them grow closer. During a blackout in July of 2008, Chloe and Lucas became trapped together in an elevator where they made love.
