Heidi Costello (also Blissett) is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera, Hollyoaks, played by Kim Tiddy. She made her first on-screen appearance on 20 July 2010 and made her final appearance in the series on 1 November 2011, after the character was accidentally murdered by her father, Silas Blissett (Jeff Rawle), in which he mistakes her for Lynsey Nolan (Karen Hassan).
On 12 April 2010, media entertainment website Digital Spy reported that a new family, the Costellos, would be introduced to Hollyoaks as part of the soap's ongoing rejuvenation. Former The Bill actress Kim Tiddy was cast in the role of ex-model Heidi Costello. Paul Opacic was cast as her husband, Carl and Rob Norbury, Miles Higson and Victoria Atkin were cast as her three children, Riley, Seth and Jasmine. Heidi was described as a "headstrong mother" and "more than able to hold her own". Of the castings, Hollyoaks series producer Paul Marquess stated: "We can't wait for this huge new boost of energy exploding on screen. These exciting new characters join our fantastic core cast. Together they will ensure that 2010 will be a year to remember on Hollyoaks." Tiddy received the role without an audition having previously worked with Marquess on The Bill. She is three years younger than the character she is portraying.
In October 2011, Tiddy confirmed to Inside Soap that she was leaving Hollyoaks. Of her departure, she said "I've got a great exit storyline, so that's something to look out for."
