In scenes that aired on Thursday, Chloe’s father Damon Harris was revealed to be Harry, a villain who has caused chaos in the village in recent months.
In the hour long episode, Chloe met up with her father, despite having been estranged for a long time but Damon explained how throughout he has had his eyes and ears on the her this whole time.

Chloe explained her current predicament regarding Mackenzie and how she wants a new identity to get away but it is clear Damon has his own agenda.

Could Chloe soon regret bringing her father into her life given how much her dad seems to know?
Viewers last saw Harry in the village back in October, when he demanded ransom money from Cain and Caleb Dingle after kidnapping their sister Chas.
In tense scenes, Harry was run over by Aaron Dingle before fleeing the scene, with viewers left questioning whether they’d see him back in the Dales.
Chloe recently decided to flee the village when she learned that Mack wanted to rekindle his relationship with Charity.
She vowed that Mack would never see their son again, and since then he’s been determined to track her down.
In Wednesday’s episode, Mack came dangerously close to finding Chloe, when he sent her a message on her sister Amy’s phone making plans to meet up in a park, but the use of one crucial word gave the game away.
Impatiently waiting for Chloe, Mack accidentally used the word ‘babe,’ and she quickly realised that the messages weren’t coming from Amy.
Mere minutes before arriving at the park, a suspicious Chloe secretly checked who was waiting for her, and after seeing Mack and Charity, she hurried away.

Mack furiously ran through the park shouting ‘Chloe!’ before vowing that Amy would be telling him where his son is, whether she liked it or not.
It comes soap fans were left up in arms after ITV released the TV schedule for Christmas Day.
The channel have revealed that both Coronation Street’s and Emmerdale’s Christmas episodes will only run for half an hour, rather than the traditional hour long specials.
Emmerdale will air at 6:30pm before fans are then treated to a festive visit to Weatherfield at 7pm, before The Masked Singer kicks off at 7:30pm.
While Christmas time is usually an iconic time for the soaps, with the Christmas episode a highlight of the year, it seems as though there won’t be as much drama come the close of 2023.
Breaking traditions, the shorter episode will mark the first time since Coronation Street has aired for just 30 minutes on Christmas day since 1997 and similarly a first for Emmerdale since 2004.
Taking to Twitter the soap fans were fuming as they shared their thoughts on ITV’s appalling schedule.
One wrote: ‘Why are the soaps only half an hour on Christmas Day on ITV? Normally hour long episodes’.
A second added: ‘Wow. Pretty poor that, from both. (In my opinion)’ while a third chimed: ‘That’s horrific’.
Another speculated: ‘#Emmerdale and #Corrie must be in a mess if they aren’t on for a hour like normal. #Christmas’.
Another commented: ‘Corrie and Emmerdale only for a half and hour each that’s disgraceful’.
Emmerdale continues on Friday at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
