We can now reveal another result in our Hollyoaks Ultimate Character Knockout, and finishing in 19th place is none other than one of the village’s longest-serving residents, Jack Osborne!
Played by Jimmy McKenna, Jack has been part of Hollyoaks history since November 1996. That’s almost three decades of drama, heartbreak, family secrets, shocking revelations and unforgettable moments.
Jack is one of those characters who has become part of the furniture in the village. Whether behind the bar at The Dog in the Pond, getting caught up in family arguments or finding himself at the centre of yet another extraordinary storyline, he’s been a familiar face for generations of Hollyoaks viewers.
His journey has certainly been anything but straightforward.
Over the years, we’ve watched Jack experience several marriages, complicated relationships and more than his fair share of heartbreak. His relationship with Frankie Dean was particularly memorable, with the pair becoming one of the show’s established couples before Frankie’s heartbreaking death in 2017.
Of course, Jack’s family life has provided plenty of drama too. His relationship with son Darren has been tested repeatedly, but the pair have always remained an important part of the Osborne family story.
And who could forget some of Jack’s more extraordinary storylines?
From faking his own death in an insurance scam to becoming involved with Darcy Wilde, who had sinister intentions, and later discovering the horrifying truth about Breda McQueen, Jack has certainly never had an ordinary life in Hollyoaks!
More recently, viewers have seen Jack continue to navigate family changes, including his emotional reunion with daughter Beth, while his relationship with Pearl has brought another chapter to his personal life.
There is no denying that Jack has played an important role in shaping Hollyoaks over the years. He might not always have been the character making the headlines, but his longevity, connections and contribution to the village have made him a familiar and recognisable face.
However, our competition has been particularly tough, and even some of the show’s biggest legends haven’t managed to make it into the higher positions.
