Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on August 09, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Nicola Stapleton! From causing drama on Albert Square in EastEnders to stirring up trouble behind bars as Janine Nebeski in Bad Girls, you've always kept us glued to our screens. Your talent for portraying strong and unforgettable characters has made you a true British TV icon—though we're still not sure if we should cheer or hide when your character walks into the room!

Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, success, and perhaps fewer fictional run-ins with the law. May your birthday be as fabulous and entertaining as all those memorable moments you've given us over the years!
