Tom Cunningham is portrayed by Ellis Hollins on the long-running TV series Hollyoaks. The only child his late parents Gordon and Helen had with each other, despite them both already having six grown children from other partners, he was born on New Year’s Eve in 1999. He lived with his half-sister Mandy after their parents died in a car crash, though now he lives with his half-brother Max. Tom has survived a fire that he himself started with fireworks, the car crash that killed his parents, and getting unwittingly drunk from vodka-spiked cola. He ran away from home after starting the fire, though Mandy found and recovered him. He’s experienced earning money from modeling, but has also had to contend with Max’s evil and manipulative wife Clare.
