Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on November 03, 1960)

Happy Birthday to the fabulous Charlie Hardwick! From winning hearts (and awards!) as Emmerdale's beloved Val Pollard, your razor-sharp wit and legendary one-liners made us laugh, cry, and sometimes both simultaneously. Who could ever forget when you dominated the British Soap Awards in 2006? Your cheeky grin accepting that trophy was nothing less than award-worthy itself!

As you're celebrating yet another lap around the sun today, just remember: Like a classic episode of Val stirring up trouble at The Woolpack—you're timelessly entertaining! May this birthday hold laughter louder than any plot twist you've survived on screen. Cheers to many more unforgettable moments ahead!
