In a new storyline on Home and Away, Chloe Anderson is attempting to put a gap between Nikau Parata and Bella Nixon.
Since her mother’s fiancé Ari Parata sadly died earlier this month, Chloe (Sam Barrett) has been dealing with her grief.
As a way of coping with the sad circumstance, fans noticed some early indicators that Chloe was becoming unduly close to Bella (Courtney Miller) last week.
This was confirmed in Monday’s broadcast on Channel 7 in Australia, where viewers were given insight into Chloe’s fragile state of mind.
Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) was first annoyed when Chloe interrupted a romantic lunch for Nikau (Kawakawa Fox-Reo) and Bella at the Astonis’ farmhouse.
Nikau ultimately took a step back and left them alone to enjoy a movie marathon together, realising that a frail Chloe needed Bella’s help more than he did.
Chloe wrote about her plans in her new notebook the next morning: “As a result, this is a fresh start. It’s time to look ahead and concentrate on the good.
“Isn’t that sound advice? It’s what Bella said, and she’s the only one in whom I have faith.
“I really wish Nik would quit being so aggravating. I thought crying my eyes out in the bathroom would make him leave, but it didn’t.”
Chloe then shot photos of a sleeping Bella in surreptitiously, narrowly avoiding being discovered by Nikau.
Nikau later told his uncle Tane (Ethan Browne) about his suspicions about Chloe’s current motivations.
He elaborated: “Chloe seemed to be purposely putting herself between me and Bella. She’s all over the place, and Bella is constantly on her side.”
Nikau, on the other hand, quickly backed down, admitting that his notion sounded “crazy” and that he needed to give Chloe the benefit of the doubt.
Is Chloe’s goal just getting begun for a struggling Chloe?
In April, viewers of Home and Away in the United Kingdom will be able to see these moments on Channel 5.
