[edit] School

Chlo is the daughter of teacher Izzie Redpath, and is known to get on well in her subjects. She was in a rocky, but stable relationship with Donte Charles.

Mika and Chlo's Mum was stabbed by Jed Seddon in the last episode of series 2, and on the first episode of the following series it was revealed that she had died. Tom Clarkson, Izzie's fiancee who also teaches English at Waterloo Road, became Chlo's legal guardian.

[edit] Donte

Donte is Chlo's husband; they married at the beginning of series 3 after a relationship of around two years. He constantly hunts her for sexual intercourse, to which she always turns down. Once, they were at their peak of their relationship, sharing a house free of people, and were seriously thinking about going this extra mile before Lewis Seddon and his friend entered the premises. Donte, now aged 17, is a year older than Chlo. He has real feelings for her but does not show them in the right way. In the last episode of series 2 we saw Chlo having her sixteenth birthday party with Lewis spiking her drink. Chlo started acting in a sexual way and took Donte to the bedroom then the last bit you see from the party was them on the bed kissing after Donte showed her an engament ring. The following day, Chlo was angry at Donte as she thought he took advantage of her when she was drugged. Later on he sets the record straight and she forgave him. They announce their engagement to Izzie Redpath, who was furious. Chlo vowed to run away, but Izzie was killed the same evening.

[edit] Marriage and Marital difficulties

In the first episode of Series 3, Chlo and Donte got married in a registry office with Chlo's sister Mika and her boyfriend Brett Aspinall serving as Maid of Honour and Best Man respectively. Tom Clarkson, Izzy's partner tried to stop the union but was powerless when Chlo revealed a piece of paper with written permission from her father, Jimmy. However, a month-and-a-half into the marriage, Chlo had a brief but passionate fling with Brett Aspinall, which Donte found out about. He subsequently told Mika Grainger, and she went ballistic. Tom separated them, and Mika screamed at Chlo that she never wanted to see her again, something she would later regret saying.

After realising she had hurt Donte and Mika, the two people she loved most, Chlo decided to leave Rochdale and board a train elsewhere. While in a cybercafe, Chlo found a young woman, Lucy, who was looking for a flatmate and began lodging with her. It soon became obvious that Lucy was a nasty piece of work, but Chlo contacted Tom. He brought the police with them, and she was arrested, along with her evil boyfriend and a middle-aged man at the house who was ready to use Chlo as a prostitute. Tom brought her back to the grounds of 'Waterloo Road', where she and Mika were reconciled temporarily.

Chlo has recently discovered that Donte is now involved with Celine Dixon and she has had to face the fact that he may have moved on, she is currently unsure where their relationship lies. She is getting back on track with her sister Mika and is glad that Mika and Brett may finally be getting along, unfortunately things are not the same between her and Donte.

In the final episode of the series, Chlo was trapped in the girls toilets in a fire started by Stuart Hordley, a man who was blackmailing head teacher Rachel Mason for her involvement in prostitution some 20 years earlier. Chlo began to suffer from smoke inhalation but was rescued by Tom and Donte.
