“I think their relationship is very similar to a lot of people’s relationships with their friends. You have that friend who you love and you would do anything for them, yet they’re the ones that kinda hurt you the most. I think they hurt each other without meaning to. I think Chloe gets a bit of a hard time and people think she’s selfish, and she’s trying to hurt Rae, but I don’t think she is. She is obviously the princess. She’s got the perfect Mum and Dad, which Rae doesn’t have, but Chloe’s also really insecure. Chloe wants to be liked the same way that Rae is liked. It’s that old story of the rose-tinted glasses and if Chloe could see herself the way Rae sees her - and how brilliant Rae thinks she is - and if Rae could see how cool Chloe thinks Rae is, then they’d be OK. They each want what the other has.” - Sharon Rooney on Rae and Chloe’s friendship (x)
