Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on October 23, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Dan O'Connor! From Ramsay Street's beloved Ned Parker to your real-life adventures beyond Erinsborough, you've always kept us entertained. Whether navigating dramatic storylines or charming audiences with that classic Aussie charisma, you’ve proven time and again why you're everyone's favorite neighbor.

Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer soap opera twists than poor Ned had to endure—no surprise siblings or mysterious pasts today! May the coming year be filled with laughter, success in all your acting endeavors, and plenty of Vegemite sandwiches (if that's still your thing). Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun—you legend!
