Chloe Tyler/Mackay (Julie Healy) 2005-2006First Regular Appearance: 9.1 (#357) Phoenix From The Flames Sunday 16th October 2005 Last Regular Appearance: 10.5 (#392) Amadeus Sunday 26th November 2006 Duration: EP: 357 - 392 | SE: 9.1 – 10.5 Occupation: Football Agent Last Seen: Handing Jimmy her wedding ring to give to Liam, so he’ll understand she accepts their marriage is over.
Chloe Tyler spent her first eighteen years in Melbourne, before a year studying law at Sydney University. Itching to travel and put her talents to use, she arrived in London at the start of the new Millennium and began working as a football agent's PA. She had a natural gift in this profession, surpassing her boss as a better communicator with the clients, and it was Chloe they followed when she started her own agenting business. The 2001-02 season was an exciting time for Chloe, as she began representing her most talented, yet troubled player, Charlton Athletic striker Eugene Rose. Shortly afterwards, she was introduced to Partick Thistle Midfielder Liam Mackay, which brought more than just the chance to represent someone she saw as a future star - he brought the chance to fall in love.
Chloe had more ambition for Liam than he did for himself, and in 2005 she was attempting to secure Eugene a much needed move to Harchester United. As he is about to sign, Chloe spies Casper Rose at the club, and realises they are signing both warring brothers in secret from the other. Chloe uses this as an opportunity to get Liam a Premiership move, telling Lynda Block she will keep the news of Casper's signing from Eugene. With Lynda seeing Chloe’s dealings first hand, she is instantly suspicious when Eugene is arrested for burglary no sooner than he’s signed. Chloe has given Eugene a false alibi which lands her in hot water with the police. Liam arranges he and Chloe’s wedding as a surprise, but the wedded bliss lasts for only one day as Felix puts him straight on the real reason he’s on Harchester’s books - his wife! It takes Liam time to come to realise Chloe did it to get him the break he deserved, and the two reunite at Harchester’s Christmas party.
When Felix is accused of attacking Amy, Chloe comes to his rescue, giving Paul Hankin the story of Amy’s affair with Danny Sullivan to discredit her. When Liam causes the end of Asa Maloin of Chelsea’s career, Chloe begins to understand Alex Dempsey more, Liam having done the same to him years earlier. Alex, now Liam’s manager, has Mackay arrested for the tackle, and Chloe’s response is to sleep with Dempsey twice! Chloe realises how much Liam means to her when he escapes two attempts by UEFA to impose a lifetime ban. Other highlights during her first season with the club are bagging hot ticket Gavin Moody as a client, and unintentionally buying his fiancée Cindi an expensive pair of party shoes when she tries to make her leave Gavin.
Chloe suffers a run of bad luck entering the 2006-07 season, meeting her match in Tony “bloody” Franks, representing new Dragon's super-signing Miguel Lopez, plus losing Eugene when he leaves to be with his daughter. Back on track with bringing Euro star Pavel Kovac to the club, Chloe plans her most ambitious move yet upon Lynda’s departure, setting her sights on the Chief Exec role. This ultimately causes the end of Chloe and Liam's marriage, as a clash of personalities with Alex leads to the public revelation of their sleeping together. Liam is crushed by Chloe’s betrayal, and knowing that Liam will never forgive her as truth is the one thing he values most, Chloe gives new manager Jimmy Craig her wedding ring for Liam to see she is gone and can move on with his life, and she and Liam later divorce. |
