Chloe Atkinson is a fictional character in the British soap opera Emmerdale, played by Amy Nuttall. She debuted on-screen during the episode airing on 4 December 2000. Nuttal quit the serial in order to pursue a singing career after performing at a football event.

Nuttall was eighteen when she was cast in the role.

Whilst interviewed by the Metro, Atkinson has stated that she didn't get Chloe's maneater label, adding: "It's funny because all my headlines include the word 'maneater' and I have only snogged two, no three, members of the cast on-screen. [...] I'm a bit fed up of being called a soap siren." Nuttall would sometimes get stopped in the street by viewers shouting at her regarding Chloe's behaviour. On Chloe's sexy image, Nuttall believed that she did not wear "outrageously sexy clothes". She was also thankful that the costume department never gave her mini skirts to wear.

Chloe begins a relationship with Scott Windsor (Ben Freeman). Off-screen Nuttall and Freeman were in a relationship. The actress told Ruki Sayid from the Daily Mirror that when they filmed Chloe and Scott's first kiss, the director guessed that they were romantically involved. One storyline depicts Chloe starting an affair with Scott's best friend Syd Woolfe (Nathan Gladwell). Chloe becomes annoyed with Scott's illegal car scam business. Syd then orchestrates the affair after he lodges in Chloe and Scott's home. When Scott discovers their infidelity he rages at Chloe. But Gladwell told Steve Hendry from the Sunday Mail that "There's no doubt he blames Syd". Nuttall viewed it as her first notable storyline. She was also pleased to portray "a bit of naughtiness" that saw Chloe drop her "Miss Goody-Two-Shoes" image. The actress found intimate bedroom scenes with Gladwell challenging to film because of the crew and her romance with Freeman. The actress revealed to an Inside Soap reporter that it was her "magic moment" because she found it "fun". She also liked that there were "lots of argument scenes" and the chance to slap Freeman.

In March 2004, Nuttal told Alex Tate from The People that Chloe would be emboiled in many storylines. She explained that her character would become "much naughtier". Chloe begins by falsely accusing Syd of beating her up and developing an attraction to another character. Nuttall added that "in fact, she becomes a bit of a gold digger."
