Emmerdale star Jessie Elland has warned that “everyone should be worried” after Chloe Harris’ dad was finally revealed as dodgy gangster Harry.
Fans were left on the edge of their seats during Thursday’s (December 14) episode as they learned that newcomer Harry was the father of Chloe after months of trying to work out who it could be. Actress Jess learned that Harry, played by Robert Beck, was her on-screen dad months ago.
The soap star told Daily Star and other press: “I remember watching him and getting excited to work with him because I think he’s brilliant and it was really exciting to have someone who has all those relationship with other people, even if Chloe didn’t know.” Fans will know that Harry has already made an enemy of Caleb Milligan (Will Ash) and his sister Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) since he made his debut in August.

Chloe hasn’t been in contact with Harry for two years but she turns to him after splitting up Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb), the father of her young son Reuben, and he decided to rekindle his romance with his wife Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins).
Speaking about Chloe and Harry’s relationship, Jessie explained: “It’s very, very complicated. She does love her dad and they were a close family unit but as she got older she started to realise the person he really was and started to realise he was a bad person so it the kind of dichotomy of loving her dad but knowing morally that he was wrong.
“She feels so pushed she’s reached out of him so that kind of shows what the relationship is like. She hasn’t been in touch with him for two years but she’s so desperate and has turned to him as a last resort. I think moving forward there’s hope that he has changed.

“She’s clinging on to the naive hope that maybe they could be a family unit now that she’s got Reuben, that could bring out another side, he may change his ways so I think she does cling on to that to some extent but you’ll have to wait to see what happens or if he can’t change who he is.”
Chloe tells her dad all about Mackenzie cheating on her with Charity and when asked if Harry is set to get revenge for Chloe, Jessie issued a warning. The actress said: “I think everyone should be worried. I think people underestimate how bad he is and the extremes he’s willing to go to get what he wants and what he thinks is right for his family. Chloe has massively underestimated him.”
Emmerdale spoilers have revealed that Mackenzie gets tied to a chair in an abandoned factory over the Christmas period so fans will have to wait and see if he makes it to 2024 alive.
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
