Coming up next week on Home and Away in the UK, Chloe’s manipulation begins to cause fractures in the Parata house, whilst Tane and Felicity’s future is in peril….
Chloe Anderson (Sam Barrett) has been on a downward spiral since the death of her father Matthew (James Sweeny), who she inadvertently killed as he had a heated argument with Mia (Anna Samson) in the Paratas’ garden.
Chloe’s guilt was compounded when Ari (Rob Kipa-Williams) took the blame for her, and he was awaiting sentencing in a remand centre when he was rushed to hospital with an aggressive form of cancer. With no hope of survival, Ari married Mia in a bedside ceremony before passing away shortly afterwards.

<p>Bella (Courtney Miller) was the first outside the family to learn what had really happened to Matthew, when she came across Chloe crying in the park.</p>

Although the two had never really been friends as such, the two found common ground over their respective fathers. With Chloe unable to open up to her mother, Mia begged Bella to be there for Chloe and help her come to terms with what had happened.

<p>In the week following Ari’s funeral, Bella has been doing just that, but it was clear that Chloe was starting to become over-reliant on her new bestie.</p>
<p>Bella admitted to boyfriend Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) that Chloe’s constant presence was getting a bit intense, and the two breathed a sigh of relief when they convinced Chloe to return to work at the diner. Assuming Bella and Nik would hang out with her during the shift, Chloe was perturbed when the pair instead headed off to spend some time alone together, and she spent the rest of the afternoon growing more frustrated at being separated from Bella.</p>

Eventually it became too much for Chloe. Declaring to Irene (Lynne McGranger) that she wasn’t ready to return to the diner after all, she hot-footed it back home to find Bella, only for an annoyed Nik to shut his bedroom door in her face.
Chloe pulled out a sob story the next day about not being ready to return to work, causing Nik and Bella to feel bad for talking her into it. When Chloe then locked herself in the bathroom and pretended to cry, she overheard Bella admitting that they’d stuffed up, and Nik left so Bella could talk with her. Chloe smiled, pleased that her manipulation had worked and she had Bella all to herself…

Next week, Chloe’s scheming continues. After Nikau informs Tane of his concerns over Chloe’s behaviour, she attempts to paint Nik as the one at fault.
When Tane talks to Chloe, she makes out that Nik is the one not coping following Ari’s death. She claims he’s deflecting from his own problems, and is jealous of the time that she and Bella have been spending together. Chloe even goes as far to say that she saw Nik wearing one of Ari’s t-shirts.
