Jack William Osborne is a fictional character from the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, played by Jimmy McKenna. He first appeared on 18 November 1996 and is the second longest serving character in the serial. He was introduced as part of the Osborne family along with son Darren (Adam Booth) and wife Celia (Carol Noakes) who joined daughter Ruth (Terri Dwyer) to live at Hollyoaks. His storylines have included the affair with Dawn Cunningham, the three marriages and an insurance scam which saw him fake his own death. In his later years, Jack was more commonly known as the landlord of the show's pub, The Dog in the Pond.
Jack's mother walked out on him and his brothers, Billy (Clive Russell) and Kenneth, when they were young. Growing up, Jack's father died on Christmas Eve. Jack became a police officer. In the 1980s, Jack arrested Martin Brownlow, who later died in prison. Martin was the former love interest of Myra McQueen (Nicole Barber-Lane) and father to Niall Rafferty (Barry Sloane). Before Hollyoaks began in 1995, Jack had an affair with Sandy Roscoe (Gillian Taylforth,) which resulted in the birth of his son Darren (Ashley Taylor Dawson), and also cheated with Dawn Cunningham (Lisa Williamson), who then gave birth to his daughter, Bethany (Danielle Calvert).
