Gwendoline "Wendy" Blissett was the daughter of Joan and Silas Blissett, and the sister of Heidi Costello.
Despite moving to the United States, Wendy maintained a good relationship with her sister Heidi Costello. In 2010, Jason Costello visited Wendy and returned to his family in August when they moved to Hollyoaks. After Jason came out as transgender to Heidi, Heidi tried to send Jason to stay with Wendy in London, but Jason ended up jumping in front of a car in a suicide attempt. Wendy did not attend Heidi's funeral in November 2011.
Wendy arrived in the village in March 2022 after being contacted by Mercedes McQueen, the mother of Wendy's grandnephew Bobby Costello. Bobby had told Mercedes that he had been speaking with Wendy through an online chess game, but he - in reality - had been speaking with Wendy's serial killer father Silas Blissett. Wendy attempted to resolve tensions between Mercedes and Bobby, but ended up believing that Mercedes was incapable of looking after Bobby. Taking the advice of a social worker, Wendy took Bobby to stay with her, away from the McQueen family.
Mercedes was left upset when Bobby appeared happier living with Wendy and ultimately decided to try win him back over. Wendy, now disapproving Mercedes as a mother, recorded a struggle between her and Bobby, exaggerated her injuries from a fight with Mercedes, and lied that a restraining order she had taken out on Mercedes applied to Bobby as well. Wendy managed to convince Bobby that Mercedes held him responsible for the death of her husband Sylver McQueen, causing Bobby to choose to live with Wendy.
Worrying that Bobby was getting too close to Mercedes, Wendy demanded payment for coming out from the United States to see the McQueens. She told Mercedes that if she received £5,000, then she would leave them for good. However, Wendy revealed to Silas that she planned to use the money to take Bobby out of England with her. After framing Mercedes for locking Bobby in his bedroom, social services filed an emergency protection order and a judge ruled that Bobby would remain in Wendy's custody.
As she carried out her plan to take Bobby to the United States permanently, Sally St. Claire overheard her talking to Silas, but collapsed with a heart attack as Wendy threatened her. After rushing Sally to hospital, Silas ordered Wendy to kill her in the same fashion as The Gloved Hand Killer killed their victims in 2015, but Sally flatlined before Wendy could give her the injection. Sally regained consciousness and managed to tell Mercedes about Wendy's plan as she headed for the airport. Mercedes arrived, posing as a taxi driver, and kidnapped Wendy. Wendy agreed to leave the family alone if she was allowed to say goodbye to Bobby, but Mercedes realised this was another trick. A driver of a Range Rover following Mercedes and Wendy grabbed Wendy and forced her into the car. The McQueen family were later informed that Wendy had suffered a pulmonary embolism and died after crashing her car.
