Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on December 31, 1939)

Happy birthday to the marvelous Malcolm Hebden, Coronation Street's own irreplaceable Norris Cole! With your impeccable comedic timing and priceless expressions, you've transformed every gossip at The Kabin into pure television gold. From stirring up hilarious trouble during community events in Weatherfield to comically meddling in neighbors' lives—you've effortlessly made us laugh (and cringe!) for years.

Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer scandalous neighborhood investigations but more cups of tea and juicy stories shared with Emily Bishop or Rita Tanner. We raise our mugs to you—Coronation Street simply wouldn't be the same without dear old Norris delivering witty one-liners!

Cheers!
