Jay and I have always had a really great time working together. We sometimes can't keep it together and be serious, especially now that Philip is so serious. He's a man now, so angry and stern. We'll start cracking up and we can't stop laughing."
She again said in 2009: "I think there's such a camaraderie and trust and respect between both of us that's been built for years that we truly enjoy working with each other".

She awakened and her brief marriage to Lucas ended. She became involved with Daniel, but ended up cheating on him too. Chloe—after being duped by Vivian Alamain into thinking Daniel and Carly were having an affair—had a
one-night stand with Philip while they were drunk and she ended up pregnant. Of this, Bjorlin stated: "She probably did not deal with her grief in the most appropriate way possible. Chloe does crazy things".
Carly, feeling guilty because Chloe's being duped into thinking her and Daniel were having an affair as a cruel attempt on VIvian's part to get Chloe to kill Carly, agreed to help Chloe secretly obtain a
DNA test. Chloe came to form a friendship with Carly. Bjorlin said of their friendship: "I was feeling slightly juvenile for awhile just spewing venom on her. It is nice that we formed this friendship."
Michael Fairman of ''On-Air On-Soaps'' said during his interview with Bjorlin and Christian "Dr. Daniel is becoming a dim-wit! Can't he figure something is going on behind his back?". Bjorlin said: "It is kind of hysterical that everybody in Salem knows about this cheating incident except Daniel, at this point."

Speaking out about all of the rumors that had circulated, Bjorlin stated: "I find out a lot about myself through reading magazines There was a little bit of talk throughout the year. "Would you ever be interested in returning?" That sort of thing. But never anything concrete Now the timing is right. It's been a year since we've seen Chloe. Hopefully, the audience has forgotten what she was up to."
Speaking of her exit storyline the previous year, Bjorlin said that she herself would have written the character out: "Chloe is so near and dear to my heart and even I would have written her off after that storyline.
