Storylines
Chloe lived in an orphanage for the first fifteen years of her life. Nancy Wesley offered her the chance to move in with her, and Chloe accepted, later learning Nancy is actually her biological mother. Originally introduced as a brainy "nerd" character with few friends, Chloe hides her incredible beauty behind frumpy clothes and horn-rimmed glasses making her an outsider at Salem High where she is picked on and often referred to as "Ghoul Girl." She becomes friends with Shawn Douglas Brady, and Belle Black. Chloe goes to a dance with the wealthy Philip Kiriakis, at which time she unveils her true appearance, and Philip immediately falls for her. They date until Chloe learns the first date was all because Philip lost a bet with Shawn. Philip wanting Chloe back, does everything possible to win her back. The two fall in love again, but it is short-lived when Brady Black comes to town. Chloe immediately bonded with Brady over their shared love of the opera. Chloe, still dating Philip, assures him that nothing is going on between them. Brady, and Chloe's relationship begins to grow closer, causing more tension in Philip and Chloe's relationship. Philip attempts to sabotage Brady to make it look like he is a thief, Chloe ends her relationship with him and pursues one with Brady.
Chloe with her parents
Chloe returns in 2007, without Brady. She begins to rekindle her friendship with Belle, Shawn, and Philip. Brady comes back to town, revealing that he has a drug addiction, and that is why he and Chloe broke up. Chloe pursues a relationship with Lucas Horton, but it ends when she cheats on him with Daniel Jonas. Chloe eventually began a relationship with Daniel. Daniel and Chloe were engaged, but their relationship was complicated when Daniel's friend, Carly Manning, came to town, and they discovered that Daniel had fathered Carly's daughter, Melanie Jonas.
The situation was only complicated when Chloe had a hysterical pregnancy and was told that she would probably never have a child. One night, having been tricked by Vivian Alamain to think that Carly and Daniel were having an affair, Chloe turned to Philip. The two slept together and when Chloe later learned she was pregnant, she did not know if the father was Daniel or Philip. Test results confirmed Daniel as the baby's father so Chloe didn't tell Daniel about the affair. Chloe married Daniel and gave birth to a son Parker Jonas. On the day of Parker's baptism, Caroline Brady revealed that she had switched the test results, and that Philip was Parker's father. Daniel was heartbroken and left Chloe. Unable to deal with the pain of losing Daniel, Chloe slipped deep into depression and tried to commit suicide. Social services gave Philip full custody but Philip moved Chloe into the Kiriakis mansion with Parker so they could raise him together.
Chloe's mental health was still fragile and during a drunken rant to Kate Roberts, Chloe threatened to take Parker and no one would ever see him again. Fearful that she would make good on her threats, Philip took Parker and moved to Chicago. Chloe tried to get herself together by giving voice lessons to students in Salem and petitioning the court for supervised visits with Parker. Then Chloe met a handsome stranger named Quinn Hudson, whom she hooked up with, later finding out that he had taped the encounter and used it to blackmail her into prostitution. Quinn (later revealed to be Vivian’s estranged son) had been hired by Kate to ruin Chloe's life and keep her away from Parker. However her call girl days end when she was viciously attacked by Gus, Vivian’s manservant-turned-vigilante who was assaulting hookers, putting her into a second coma (although it was shorter this time). When she awoke from the coma she identified Gus and received a sizable reward which gave her the means to move to Chicago, to pursue a more lucrative singing career and work towards regaining custody of her son, Parker.On January 7, 2013, Chloe returned to Salem and revealed to Daniel that he is actually Parker's father, hoping they could be a family again. When Chloe learned Daniel had moved on with Jennifer Horton, she set about trying to break them up. Chloe blackmailed Jennifer into rejecting Daniel, by threatening to keep Daniel from seeing Parker, going so far as to have her mother Nancy take Parker to Brazil, but not telling Daniel, so Jennifer felt she had to publicly reject Daniel and leave the hospital, to protect Daniel from losing access to his son Parker, while never revealing her true feelings. After seeing a passport at Chloe's mother Nancy's place, Daniel figured out Chloe's scheme, with help from Rafe, and reconciled with Jennifer, who also got her job back at the hospital. After that Chloe decided to go back to Chicago, leaving Parker with Daniel.
On August 3, 2015, Chloe returned to Salem when she learned Daniel and Nicole Walker, were engaged and she objected to Nicole becoming Parker's stepmother. She ultimately accepted after a talk with Daniel.
In January 2016, Chloe came back to Salem to comfort Nicole after Daniel died in a car accident on New Years Day.
On June 10th 2016, Chloe returned again when Deimos Kiriakis, made a phone call to her, asking for help. She treats the injured Deimos, who calls himself Robert. Chloe met Deimos after one of her performances in Chicago, and he introduced himself as Robert Tasso. In the present, Deimos tells Chloe who he really is, and promised to tell her everything. Chloe was shocked and felt used by Deimos after he revealed he was Victor Kiriakis's brother, and tracked her down because of her connection to the Kiriakis family. Chloe went to throw Deimos out, but they kissed and ended up sleeping together. Deimos and Chloe learned that Nicole had been accused of Deimos' murder, and they agreed that he would reveal himself so Nicole would be cleared.
In January 2016, Chloe returned to town, and partnered with Philip in the music business. They signed Claire Brady to a record deal. Chloe started to feel nausea and discovered she was pregnant. She told Claire not to say anything, and feared Deimos was the father. She confided in Philip and he agreed to pose as the baby's father. Chloe later did a DNA test, and discovered that the baby wasn't hers and Deimos', but Nicole and Daniel's. Chloe had volunteered to be a surrogate for Daniel and Nicole, but the in vitriol process failed. After Daniel's death, Chloe tried again and this time it worked. Chloe wanted to tell Nicole the truth, but didn't want her raising the baby with Deimos, and left town to keep the truth from coming out. Chloe eventually gave birth to Nicole and Daniel's daughter Holly. After recovering from a stroke Chloe told Nicole the truth. Chloe refused to give Holly to Nicole out of fear that she'd get hurt. Chloe explained to Nicole that she and Deimos would put Holly in danger. After a custody battle the judge awarded custody of Holly to Chloe. Chloe then announced her plans to move to New York to be with her family and take Holly with her. Chloe believe that was the only way to keep Holly safe from Nicole and Deimos. Chloe then decides to file a restraining order against Nicole in an effort to protect Holly from her. Chloe calls the police and issues an Amber Alert after Nicole assaults her and kidnaps Holly.
