Emmerdale star Jessie Elland explains Chloe's new crisis

Emmerdale star Jessie Elland has discussed the latest trouble ahead for her character Chloe Harris.

This week's episodes see Chloe's sister Amy Wyatt turn against her when they find themselves at odds over their recent bust-up with Charity Dingle.

Amy has given the police a false statement after a physical altercation with Charity in the village.

While Amy believes that Charity deserves her punishment, Chloe is concerned that Charity could unfairly end up in prison after what happened.

These doubts are fuelled by Mackenzie Boyd, who puts pressure on Chloe to set the record straight.

Speaking about the storyline, Jessie explained: "Chloe is as loyal to Kerry as Amy, but it complicates things for her now that Charity has become roped into the drama – and come out on the losing end – because she already feels so guilty about her implication with the baby.

"Most of the times we see Chloe and Mackenzie together, she makes out to find him irritating and arrogant and isn't a fan of his behaviour at all. But a big chunk of that is a front and, as much as she would hate to admit it, she does actually listen to him.

"I think Mackenzie picks up on this and so knows how to say the exact thing that will get under Chloe's skin and plant the seed of doubt in her mind. He basically amplifies the guilt she already feels and uses it as a way to get her to change her statement. Without giving too much away, Amy is not best pleased."

Amy asks Chloe to leave following this perceived betrayal. Although Chloe has nowhere else to go, she reluctantly agrees to move out.

Jessie continued: "Chloe is definitely a bit of a swan in the sense that she seems very calm, aloof and cool on the surface, but underneath her legs are going like mad, and I think this situation is the perfect example of that.

"Chloe very easily convinces people she's going to live with a friend in Leeds, and that moving away actually works in her favour. But very quickly we learn this is a lie and she has no plan, no money, and no idea how she's going to look after herself, let alone her baby.

"I think it's a pride thing. Chloe knows that she isn't wanted, so before she can get kicked out, she jumps the gun and says that she is going to leave for somewhere better anyway.

"We've seen Chloe get rejected a lot since she moved to Emmerdale. It's something that she finds really hard to deal with and is a big factor in making her build up this cold exterior, so she's trying to create her own narrative of moving away before Amy can do it for her."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
