## Storylines

Chloe first appears in February 2020, when she moves onto Hole Street, along with husband Luke & daughter Mia. They move into 9 Hole Street. In March 2020, Chloe decides to meet up with her cousins Jade, Louise, Katie, Denzil, & Louisa. They get along well, but Luke is disapproving. He tells Chloe to stay away from them. When Chloe protests, Luke grabs her by the wrist and tells her to do as she's told. In April 2020, Chloe bumps into Jade, who invites her on a shopping trip with the others. Chloe wants to, but declines. Luke spots them talking and interrogates her. Louisa brings back a t-shirt for Chloe, which she is pleased with. Luke pretends to be grateful, but throws it in the bin behind Chloe's back. Chloe finds it covered with and asks Luke why he did it. Luke tells her that he doesn't trust any of the cousins. Luke then catches Chloe talking to Jade, and violently beats her up because of it. Hayli Squinteye invites her round for a chat, and she finds out about the abuse. Chloe tells her she's planning on leaving Luke soon. Louisa phones Chloe for a chat, however Luke confiscates her phone, and tells her that the only way they can get any peace is if they die, and Luke forces Chloe to agree to a plan in which he sets the house on fire with the three of them inside. Chloe decides to organize a party before this happens, unaware that Luke meant later that day. She invites her cousins round, and the party starts, with DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love by Usher playing. Several of the lyrics upset Chloe and she confesses Luke's plan to them. Meanwhile, Luke sets his car on fire in the garage and pours petrol everywhere. He is unaware that Jade, Louise & Katie are upstairs with Chloe. The girls try to escape, but flames have already spread up the stairs, and Luke is outside the door. He refuses to let them go out. Louise tries to escape, however he shoves her over. Whilst this is going on, Katie contacts Denzil, however Luke snarches the phone away. Denzil & Louisa break into the house, and Denzil punches Luke and lets the girls free. Denzil then goes in to rescue Mia. Luke is also unharmed. Chloe slaps Luke across the face, and tells him she hates him. The police arrive, and Luke is arrested by WPC Beverley Flyheart for arson. Chloe takes her wedding ring off and throws it away. Chloe & Mia then go to stay with Denzil. Chloe has flashbacks and nightmares. She has a visit from her mother, Karren. She goes to visit Luke in prison, and tells him she wants a divorce, and she never wants to see him again. Later that year, Wallace says that her house has been fixed. When Chloe moves back in, she starts having flashbacks of Luke and the fire. Kellie Jackson, Chloe's cousin, offers to move in with her. They are later joined by Katie Johnson. In April 2023, Chloe and Mia leave Hole Street.
