Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on April 11, 1941)

Happy Birthday to the unforgettable Shirley Stelfox! Your portrayal of Edna Birch in Emmerdale brought us countless laughs, heartfelt moments, and a healthy dose of village gossip. Who could forget your iconic hat collection or those sharp-tongued yet lovable remarks that kept everyone on their toes?

From keeping unruly villagers in check with just one stern glance, to warming our hearts during touching scenes at church events—your talent made every moment memorable. Today we celebrate you: timelessly funny, endlessly charming, and forever etched into soap opera history as everyone's favorite no-nonsense neighbor.

Cheers to you, Shirley—you're truly irreplaceable!
