Chloe Richards (previously Fraser) is a fictional character from the Australian Channel Seven soap opera Home and Away, played by Kristy Wright. She debuted on-screen during the episode airing on 28 June 1995. Chloe left in 1999, making a short return stint in 2005 when she died from the resulting injuries of a car crash. Chloe has relationships with Jack Wilson, Curtis Reed, Lachlan Fraser, James Fraser and Jesse McGregor.
Wright was asked to join the regular cast of Home and Away as Chloe, after initially appearing as a background extra in the series.
Several months into her role as Chloe, Wright began to find her fame hard to deal with at first. Of an encounter with a group of teenagers who began harassing her at a local mall, she said "So I just steer clear of places where young people hang out - shopping centres, McDonald's, cinema strips... Going out for dinner's fine but I haven't been shopping for a long time."
In one storyline Chloe discovers that she is pregnant. Wright said "I'm really looking forward to being heavily pregnant, I've been trying on some 'stomachs' in the wardrobe department. It's so much fun."
Chloe is first seen when she works on a school project with Jack Wilson (Daniel Amalm). They begin a relationship but Chloe's racist father Max (Rob Steele) takes an instant dislike to Jack, due to him being mixed race. When Max begins being physically abusive towards Chloe, she flees to Western Australia to stay with her estranged mother, Maureen (Liz Burch). After Maureen rejects her, Chloe returns to Summer Bay and is devastated when she finds out Max has left and Jack is dating his foster sister Sally Fletcher (Kate Ritchie). Irene Roberts (Lynne McGranger) takes Chloe in and fosters her. Chloe leaves again, this time to search for Max. When she returns, it is apparent that she is hooked on drugs, but keeps it a secret. When the police raid Summer Bay High, Chloe implicates her dealer, school secretary Joanne Brennan (Kimberley Joseph). Chloe is then forced to repeat Year 11 and is deeply unhappy about this but she reconciles her relationship with Curtis Reed (Shane Ammann), who had battled alcoholism the previous year. Donald Fisher (Norman Coburn), Chloe's principal is impressed with the progress she is making but views Curtis as detriment to her studies. Upon learning that she could top the State HSC History results, Chloe applies for a scholarship but is rejected by the University when her drug past is revealed. Chloe and Irene blame Fisher for the revelation but he maintains he told the truth to give Chloe an honest start.
