Christine White was born in 1980 to Ellen White and John Richards. However, Chrissie grew up with Lawrence White as his legal father even though he knew of this.

In 1986, Chrissie gained a younger half-sister Rebecca White who was Lawrence's daughter. In the late 1990s, Chrissie dated Donny Cairn and they had a son Lachlan White on the 26th July 2000.

2014-2015: Home Farm, marrying Robert Sugden and Lachlan's sexual assault on Alicia
Chrissie moves into Home Farm with her father Lawrence White and teenage son Lachlan. Upon her arrival, she realises her fiancé Robert Sugden previously had a life in Emmerdale and has unfinished business with his family. She becomes relieved when her father Lawrence and Robert manage to get along after Lawrence suffered an angina attack when Home Farm was robbed, which Chrissie and Robert were also caught up in. Chrissie begins making wedding plans and becomes unhappy when her sister Rebecca was unable to book a flight in time for the wedding. Chrissie befriends David and Alicia Metcalfe, grateful that Alicia is taking an interest in Lachlan as he has made friends with her son, Jacob. She even suggests that they invest in David's shop, which David agrees to. Sadly, Lachlan's interest in Alicia becomes unhealthy and leads to him sexually assaulting Alicia. Chrissie initially believes Lachlan's version of events but, on finding a pornographic video on his laptop and his past history, later realises that Alicia is telling the truth. She then calls the police herself, insisting to Lachlan and Lawrence that Lachlan must take responsibility for his actions. Chrissie later discovers that Robert organised the robbery at Home Farm, so locks him in a barn and threatens to set fire to it. After pouring petrol everywhere, it is revealed only to be water as she wanted to scare him like he frightened her and Lawrence. Chrissie shares a passionate kiss with Cain Dingle at the garage, which Harriet Finch photographs after being hired by Robert to spy on Cain. Robert continually blackmails Cain with the photographs, and expresses his disgust towards Chrissie, revealing to Lawrence what she has done with Cain. Eventually, Cain kidnaps Robert and tortures him until he agrees to get rid of the photographs. However, Cain's wife, Moira, finds out and slaps Chrissie in front of Cain and Robert for kissing her husband.
2015: Discovering Robert's affair and the helicopter crash
She soon discovers that Robert has been having an affair with Aaron Livesy and throws him out. Chrissie repeatedly attempts to get Robert to sign the divorce papers, but he refuses. Chrissie commits arson by pouring petrol over Robert's car and sets fire to it, unaware that drunk Adam Barton had fell asleep in another nearby car. Robert puts the fire out, but he and Chrissie are unaware that another fire has reached some gas canisters. The gas canisters heat up quickly and causes an explosion, with one gas canister hitting a flying helicopter. It careers uncontrollably over Emmerdale and crashes into the town hall where Debbie Dingle and Pete Barton's wedding reception is being held. Debbie is knocked unconscious and not breathing. Everyone else suffered minor injuries. Ruby Haswell is killed almost instantly in the crash, but Kyle Winchester is nowhere to be found. Cain gets trapped under some rubble that falls on top of him while trying to find Kyle. Kyle appears in the town hall, and is able to pull Cain from the rubble he is trapped under. Cain manages to get Kyle out, moments before the helicopter falls into the village hall and explodes. The explosion leaves sisters Diane Sugden and Val Pollard trapped in the mirror maze. Diane is pulled from the mirror maze, leaving Val in the maze, who is also killed when a large shard of glass falls on her, impaling her chest. The following day in The Woolpack, Chrissie reveals that she caused the helicopter crash. Val's furious and Eric Pollard throws them both out and demands that she goes to the police. Chrissie flees the village to stay with Rebecca. Chrissie returns some weeks later and pleads guilty to arson. However, she pleads not guilty to reckless arson. Eric is desperate for justice and holds Chrissie hostage in Home Farm with a cricket bat. Robert later arrives and convinces Eric to leave. Chrissie is later arrested for the attempted murder of Robert after he is shot by an unknown assailant, however, she is not charged when Lawrence informs the police that he shot Robert to protect Chrissie. She later develops feelings for her solicitor Rakesh Kotecha as he helps her when she and Lawrence are arrested for the shooting. Chrissie makes a pass at him, but he rejects her advances due to his engagement to Priya Sharma. During this period of time, Chrissie finds herself shunned by the rest of the village, but finds solace in the arms of local barmaid Chas Dingle, who is also the mother of Aaron Dingle (the man Robert had an affair with). Their time together is cut short when Chrissie becomes one of the suspects in Robert's shooting. Chrissie is happy to hear that Lawrence and Bernice Blackstock are engaged. However, on the night before the wedding, Chrissie sees Bernice kissing her ex-lover, Andy Sugden. Chrissie informs Lawrence but he marries Bernice anyway, much to Chrissie's disgust. Bernice is devastated upon finding out that her mother Diane has been stabbed by Chas Dingle, with Chrissie supporting her and puts their differences behind them. Chrissie stands trial for the helicopter crash, where she is convinced that Robert is going to testify against her and is surprised when he testifies for her. She finds out that he did this because Lachlan made him realise that it was the right thing to do. She is grateful and thanks Robert. Chrissie is relieved to be found not guilty and she receives a suspended sentence. Eric is appalled at this and throws a red paintball at her in the courtroom, leading to his arrest. After Priya ends her relationship with Rakesh, he gets drunk and tries to kiss Chrissie. However, she rejects his advances.
Chrissie originally started out as a good person, yet with a troubled past. However, events such as finding out the robbery at Home Farm was staged, finding out her husband Robert was having an affair with Aaron Dingle, the helicopter crash in August 2015, Lawrence revealing that he wasn't her father twisted her and made her more devious; what finally caused her to crack was discovering her boyfriend Andy Sugden cheated on her with Bernice Blackstock. To get back at him, she framed Andy for shooting Lawrence and slashed her wrists to make it look like Andy did it. Andy went on the run as a result and was not informed of his daughter Sarah's cancer. After this, she blackmailed Rakesh Kotecha into making Andy plea guilty when she discovered his and Ronnie Hale's secret regarding the mill explosion However, even after these events, Chrissie doted on her son Lachlan.
When it came to Lachlan’s increasingly troubled behavior, Chrissie often buried her head in the sand. It was only when she found out that Lachlan had spy holes set up throughout Home Farm and not even feeling remorse over it did Christie realize Lachlan was seriously not well. Unfortunately, she was unable to get him the help he needed as she would wind up getting murdered when he drove their car into an oncoming van.
