I would've said Ronnie Mitchell until last night, but definitely Kat with that twist.

I would agree with Kat. And Ronnie - I can't remember the whole Ronnie story with Dannielle and Archie but she is definitely a contender.
And now that we have found out about Shirley's history, I'm going to say Shirley also. She had a mother who was neglectful, physically, mentally and verbally abusive, who pushed Shirley down the stairs when she found out she was pregnant to induce a miscarrage, took the baby off her and forced her to bring him up as her brother, then abandoned her, leaving Shirley - who was still a teenager, with two young children, a drunken, neglectful father and a manipulative aunt for company, living in poverty. Lovely. No wonder Kat, Ronnie and Shirley are messed up! |

Goodness, I'd say:
Stacey...Dead father, sick abusive mother, poverty. Shirley...abusive mother who abandoned her, alcoholic father, poverty and possibly an abusive/manipulative aunt. |

Shirley's kids surely had a terrible upbringing. One of them didn't even know she was his mum until Christmas and Shirl abandoned them numerous times. Not as bad as Kat or Ronnie, but still not great.
Phil, Grant and Sam probably didn't have an easy ride with a dad like Eric. |

Ronnie's:
Repeatedly raped by her father in the summer she was 13. The following year, she gets pregnant by her boyfriend and is eventually taken away to have the baby. When she returned, her boyfriend had vanished (under Archie's intervention as it later turned out.) He forced Ronnie into giving the baby up for adoption. Her mother walked out when she was pregnant. It also later turned out that Glenda knew of the abuse but did nothing. |

Stacey Branning eventually had support of family and her attitude then and even now doesn't help.

Stacey is a contender but doesn't come close to Kat's or Ronnie's for me. The only good thing that can be said of Whitney's is at least she had Bianca's support, and Ryan when she discovered that Tiffany wasn't actually her sister. Stacey had no support when Sean walked out, having to deal with a bipolar mother by herself, aged 11. She didn't have any contact with Charlie and Co for years before she moved in with them.

Jean was a good mother to Stacey. I guess she got worse when Stacey was 16? Stacey did genuinely have a good childhood.
Eric Mitchell was a drunk who beat Pegy Mitchell and abused Phjdil Mitchell, Grant Mitchell and Sam Mitchell to. I wouldn't rate them to high in soap land. |

It still does not compare to Kat, Ronnie or Shirley. Popular she may be but it's true. Brain Slater and Jean Slater both loved Stacey during her childhood.

What about Tom of Hollyoaks both his Parents killed in a Car Crash, his brother who then took over his care was killed in a hit and run caused by Niall. His Niece died as a Baby due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Also another Brother Lewis and Sister Dawn have also died. All this is after his evil Aunt Claire tried to kill his Brother Max and made his life a living Hell including drawing on his wallpaper, pouring Water on his bed and Poisioning his food and telling him he caused his parents deaths.
Tom then goes to live with Max's second wife who ends up having a relationship with Niall, who turns out to be a serial killer and ends up kidnapping Tom before Niall ends up killing himself. Tom later see's Warren through a window after previously thinking he was dead, later his guardian Steph is diagnosed with Cancer and dies in House fire not before she marries Gilly who Tom becomes close to but Tom is left distraught when he is arrested for Rape, Tom is pleased when Gilly is found Not Guilty but is left distraught when Gilly later admits he did commit the Rape leading to him being bullied at School because of it. Tom faced further heartbreak when an intruder broke into his house and started attacking one of his guardian's Jack, leading to Tom whacking the intruder over the head with a Cricket Bat. The Intruder is later revealed to be his other Guardian Frankie's Granddaughter and Tom struggles to deal with his presence as the matter goes to Court and Tom is found Not Guilty. Tom then had to deal with nutty Sienna who frames Nancy for trying to kill Oscar and Charlie leading to Nancy being sectioned in a mental institution, Tom then see's that it is really Sienna who is unhinged when he see's her trying to breastfeed Nancy's son and catches her on Video faking a Pregnancy, when Sienna finds out that Tom knows what she is up to she kidnaps Tom and leaves him in her Mother's old abandoned house for weeks. Tom is later freed but Sienna kidnaps Oscar and Charlie and Sienna tells Tom that if he tells the Police were they are they will never find Oscar and Charlie so Tom goes with Sienna who later locks them all in a Car and tries to gas them before they are saved. Tom later get's a girlfriend and she has a Brain Tumour and Tom thinks she is going to die but she get's better and they end up sleeping together were it is revealed she and Tom are expecting a baby. I know Hollyoaks is far fetched but all this has happened before Tom has reached 16 years of age, he has gone through enough trauma to last 10 lifetimes. |

It's disputable. Stacey was the sole carer to her mentally ill, unstable, abusive,promiscuous mother from the age of 11 when her father died and her brother left. Kat had a terrible time because of Harry, but she had a loving father, nan and siblings. Ronnie again had a terrible time, but at least she had her sister.
