Blessing Chambers is a fictional character from the British soap opera Hollyoaks, portrayed by Modupe Adeyeye. She made her first appearance on 21 February 2014, with the character and casting having been announced earlier that month. Adeyeye had to audition several times for the role and tried to enjoy the role as she was unsure if she would be successful. Hollyoaks producer Bryan Kirkwood was a fan of the actresses' work after seeing her in EastEnders: E20. Blessing was introduced as a glass collector at a strip club that ends up being fired when Dennis Savage (Joe Tracini) gets her into trouble. Blessing was characterised as not having had much luck in her past and thus she moves to Hollyoaks for a fresh start and new opportunities. Blessing was also characterised as being a colourful character and having a colourful dress style, which was different to Adeyeye's style. The actress teased that Blessing would be a big character and would bring happiness to the lives of Dennis and others.

Blessing was later revealed to be a transgender woman, which was used to explore the character's backstory. Hollyoaks scriptwriter Jonathan Larkin revealed that he had the original idea for the character after being inspired by a friend of his in addition to actress Laverne Cox's character in Orange Is the New Black and journalist Paris Lees. Larkin explained that the soap wanted to educate people through Blessing's storylines and to give viewers going through similar experiences as Blessing a storyline that they could relate to. Hollyoaks worked with organisations The Gender Trust and All About Trans throughout the storyline and held workshops with the latter. Blessing faces mixed responses when her transgender status is revealed, and Dennis initially breaks up with her as he feels that he was lied to, but they later reconcile.

Blessing's other storylines have included being attacked by Finn O'Connor (Keith Rice), trying to track down her parents and trying to help her friend Maxine Minniver (Nikki Sanderson) escape her abusive relationship. The character was used in both serious and comedy storylines. Blessing was also used to tackle the issue of self-harm, with the character cutting herself on a few occasions. Blessing was later written out of the soap opera and last appeared on 21 November 2014, departing alongside Dennis. Her exit storyline involved her being tracked down by Dennis and Trevor Royle (Greg Wood) after stealing the latter's diamonds. Blessing received positive reception from critics and she was seen as the most high profile transgender character in British television during her stint on the soap.

In February 2014, it was announced that actress Modupe Adeyeye had joined Hollyoaks as new regular character, Blessing Chambers. The character's surname was also spelt "Chamber" in the announcement and on the Channel 4 website. Adeyeye had already begun filming at the time of the announcement and she made her first appearance as Blessing on 21 February 2014. Blessing was described as being "strong" and "colourful", but it was teased that viewers would soon find out that Blessing has not had "a lot of luck in the past". The Channel 4 website announcement for the character teased that she would have a "big" debut and would be bringing "some much needed fun" to the lives of other characters, including Dennis Savage (Joe Tracini).

Adeyeye felt "blessed" to receive the role and called joining the soap a "pleasure", calling the people there "lovely" and welcoming. The actress explained that she first heard about the audition "quite a while" prior to being cast and found the audition process interesting; in her first audition, she was required to perform a monologue, whilst she was given scripts to following in her following two auditions, which took place at Lime Pictures in Liverpool with other people auditioning. Adeyeye added, "It got to the point where I knew it was the final audition before somebody would get the part, which is always a bit nerve-wracking but you just have to do your best". The actress revealed that she was not sure whether she would win the role and thus tried to enjoy the auditions and try her best. After winning the role, Adeyeye felt more excited than nervous and called her first day "quite nice" and a good "ease-in", and praised the director for being lovely. The actress described Blessing as a "big character" and compared her to Marmite, explaining, "Some people will love her and some people will hate her, but she is genuinely a nice person. These days people are not blunt and nobody really says it how it is, but Blessing does! That can sometimes cause some tension." Blessing was billed as a "colourful" character and Adeyeye revealed that there were many "lovely" new outfits for her, and that she would never be seen in "dull colours" as she "doesn't bring anything but colour". The actress explained that her dress style is different to Blessing's as her favourite colour is black and she dresses more simple than Blessing.

Hollyoaks scriptwriter Jonathan Larkin explained that he worked with Adeyeye in workshops and believed that she was very natural in her approach and had great instinct. Larkin revealed that Hollyoaks producer Bryan Kirkwood was a fan of Adeyeye after seeing her in EastEnders: E20 and wanted to work with her again, with the role feeling "perfect" as she "can be larger than life but she can also bring vulnerability and heart, and that's what we wanted for Blessing". Adeyeye believed that her work on EastEnders and EastEnders: E20 helped her with her Hollyoaks role as she believed that all acting experience is training for the following acting job. Despite Blessing being a transgender woman, Adeyeye is not transgender herself, which Larked explained was "definitely something that was not taken lightly, but [Adeyeye is] an actress, and a good one, so I don't think she will disappoint". Larking had the original idea for the character and revealed that Blessing had been "buzzing" around his head for a while and that he felt a need to tell the story of a transgender woman arriving to the Hollyoaks village for a long time. Larkin considered the character to be his "brainchild", but admitted Blessing ended up being a "group effort" due to writers, storyliners and producers adding their inputs and further "layers that might not have been there in the first place" to characters. Discussing how he came up of the idea for the character, Larkin called the character an "amalgamation" of different people, explaining:

"My good friend Ngunan, who's a radio DJ, inspired the first incarnation, the funky smart girl with heart and attitude. Having watched Orange Is the New Black and seeing Laverne Cox's character Sophia, the similarities with the Blessing I wanted to write were shining through. The tough exterior, the warm nature, coming from a hard knock life but never forgetting to be a glamorous ray of sunshine... it all just fitted together perfectly. Having read up on Paris Lees and her backstory, the inspiration just kept on coming and it felt like it was finally Blessing's time to shine."

Adeyeye knew about Blessing's history when she accepted the role and was very excited to be part of the storyline, commenting, "It's challenging, but I think if life's not challenging, it's not really worth living. I love being under pressure and not knowing what's going to happen each day, because it makes me push myself". The actress did one-to-one sessions with All About Trans to prepare for the role and remained in contact with the organisation later on in her stint, which she found helpful.
