In 2013, Kevin and Chloe battle money struggles, causing him to commit crimes in order to obtain money. Hendrickson stated they were having "a blast" with the storyline, saying: "Money is usually a common issue between couples. They’re kind of battling through this struggle. He’s trying to do his best to take care of the family and morally, it just doesn’t sit well with her. Especially with what he’s been through in the past." Rikaart told "On-Air On-Soaps" that he and Hendrickson have discussed wanting the characters to break up, "We always say, 'We have done this. We have played this. Now let’s play breaking up.' That will be different." Kevin and Chloe's relationship has been subject to mixed reviews. Although Zap2it praised the pairing in 2010, they later listed the pair on their "10 Worst Soap Opera Couples of 2012". They stated: "We were all fans of John Hughes' movies in the '80s, but sometimes the Geek and the Glamour Puss are meant to just be friends; this is certainly the case with Kevin Fisher's (Greg Rikaart) sexless romance with Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) on "The Young and the Restless". We adore Kev and Chloe—separately—but as a couple they do absolutely nothing for us."
