Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on August 31, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Jimmy McKenna! Another year wiser but still rocking Hollyoaks as Jack Osborne. From pub-owner to protective patriarch, you've tackled every outrageous soap scenario with flair—surviving explosions, scandalous family feuds and even dodgy village schemes. Clearly your character’s secret formula must be equal parts Scottish grit and comedic charm.

Here's hoping your birthday celebrations are far less dramatic than life in Chester (maybe skip The Dog in the Pond!). May today bring laughter worthy of Jack's finest one-liners and joy brighter than his recent triumphs onscreen. Stay legendary, Jimmy—we'll be raising a pint to you from afar!
