Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on April 22, 1984)

Happy birthday, Michelle Ryan! From keeping the residents of Albert Square on their toes as Zoe Slater in "EastEnders," to captivating audiences worldwide by flexing your powerful bionic muscles as Jaime Sommers in "Bionic Woman," you've proven there's no role too intense or adventure too daring.

Whether you're fighting villains and leaping across buildings effortlessly or showing deep emotional drama with just a glance—your talent shines brighter each year. May your special day be free from soap opera drama (unless you prefer it!) and filled instead with laughter, joy, friends—and perhaps cake that doesn't require superhuman strength to slice!
