However, after the two have a heart-to-heart at the Kennedy house, Chloe suddenly reveals the secret feelings she has for Elly in the form of a kiss.
The storyline begins next week when Elly is fired from her job as teacher at Erinsborough High School. She was actually hoping to take over as temporary head of the school, but instead familiar face Jane Harris is given the job, and sacks Elly almost immediately.
Jane – also known as Plain Jane Superbrain – has been told by the school board that she needs to reduce the number of staff numbers. When Elly leaves the school site during school hours Jane’s decision is made easy, leaving Elly unemployed.

Though she does help Elly process her horrible news, she makes a mistake when she feels a deeper connection than friends.
She leans in a kisses Elly, who is understandably shocked and withdraws right away. Realising that she confused any kind of signal, Chloe immediately apologises and tries to brush off the kiss, playing it cool.

The next day Elly reveals to Mark that no matter what the tests say she wants to be with him forever, accompanying this with a surprise proposal. A delighted Mark says yes and is further elated when his tests reveal that he doesn’t have the Huntington gene.
Once the eventful day is over, Chloe pulls Elly to one side and reassures her once more that the kiss meant nothing. But is Chloe actually falling for her soon-to-be sister-in-law?
