Chloe Cammeniti
Chloe Cammeniti, portrayed initially by Sarah May and subsequently by Daisy Zandveld, is the offspring of Carmella Cammeniti (played by Natalie Blair) and Oliver Barnes (played by David Hoflin).

In December 2008, Carmella and Chloe relocated to Portugal to be with Oliver, returning together to Erinsborough in March 2011.
Carmella’s pregnancy occurred following her separation from Oliver, which raised concerns regarding her use of prescribed antidepressants; however, the child was born healthy. Subsequently, Carmella entered a relationship with her business associate Marco Silvani (Jesse Rosenfeld), complicating Oliver’s involvement in Chloe’s upbringing. Due to distress during premature labor, Chloe was delivered via emergency cesarean section and required neonatal intensive care.
Conflicts intensified between Oliver and Marco, culminating in a custody battle after Marco perished in a bushfire.
