No. 24
Number 24 was one of the three original houses featured in Ramsay Street and has been associated with the Ramsay family since the show began. Max Ramsay (Francis Bell), his wife Maria (Dasha Blahova) and their two sons Shane (Peter O'Brien) and Danny (David Clencie) were the first family to live there. Max and Maria's marriage ended and Maria left, with Danny following not long after. Max's sister Madge (Anne Charleston) moved in and they each purchased a half of the house. Max left to reconcile with Maria and Shane also departed. Max and Madge's brother Tom (Gary Files) moved in for a brief time. Shortly after Madge's daughter, Charlene (Kylie Minogue) moved in and her brother, Henry (Craig McLachlan) also moved in after his release from prison.
Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan) moved in after his wedding to Charlene and Madge's husband Harold Bishop (Ian Smith) also moved in. Charlene, Scott and Henry all left within a couple of years of each other. Madge's niece Gemma Ramsay (Beth Buchanan) stayed briefly, before Madge and Harold took in Brenda Riley (Genevieve Lemon) and her nephew Guy Carpenter (Andrew Williams). Harold went missing and Lou Carpenter moved in. Madge left in late 1992 after she rejected Lou's proposal of marriage. Lou then took in lodgers Beth Brennan (Natalie Imbruglia) and Cameron Hudson (Benjamin Grant Mitchell) and Lauren Carpenter (Sarah Vandenbergh) moved in with her dad for a year. Annalise Hartman (Kimberley Davies) moved in with Lou in 1993 and Rick Alessi also moved in. Madge sold the house to Marlene Kratz who moved in with her grandson Sam Kratz (Richard Grieve). They took in Cody Willis (Peta Brady) as a lodger when her parents moved away. Annalise later moved back in and her sister Joanna (Emma Harrison) also moved in. By 1996 Sam, Annalise and Joanna had moved out. Cheryl Stark and her daughter, Louise moved in and were later joined by Cheryl's son Darren. Cheryl lived there until her death.
When Harold reappeared, he and Madge reunited and bought the property from Marlene. They fostered teenagers Paul McClain (Jansen Spencer) and Tad Reeves (Jonathon Dutton). In 2001, Madge died of cancer and by 2002 both Paul and Tad had left. Hairdresser Gino Esposito (Shane McNamara) briefly moved in with Harold as did teenager Saxon Garvey (Troy Lovett). Harold's granddaughter Sky Mangel (Stephanie McIntosh) moved back to Ramsay Street to live with Harold in 2003. She was soon joined by Harold's son, David (Kevin Harrington), his wife Liljana (Marcella Russo) and their daughter Serena (Lara Sacher). Lou later moved in too. David, Liljana and Serena perished in a plane crash and in 2006, Sky gave birth to a daughter, Kerry Mangel (Claudine Henningsen). Carmella Cammeniti (Natalie Blair) moved in for a time and Lou's daughter Lolly also moved in. Lolly left after six months and Sky and Kerry left soon after. Harold left Erinsborough and rented the house to Marco Silvani (Jesse Rosenfeld) and Carmella. Sienna Cammeniti (Erin McNaught), Carmella's cousin, moved in briefly, but left after a few weeks to go to Italy. Marco died in July 2008 and Carmella left the street. Harold then gave the house to the Salvation Army before he departed. Cassandra Freedman (Tottie Goldsmith) and her children, Simon (Mauricio Merino Jr) and Tegan (Chelsea Jones), were the first family to move in at the start of 2009. Simon and Tegan later left the street to live with their grandmother and Cassandra was driven out of the street by Elle Robinson.
When Elle decides to confront her claustrophobia, she and Lucas Fitzgerald spend a few hours under the house. Lucas discovers a locket with the initials A.G.R. inscribed on it and Elle realises that it belongs to her grandmother, Anne. Lucas later discovers a hidey-hole under the house where a box, belonging to Anne, was hidden. The box contained a key to a bank deposit box, which contained Helen Daniels (Anne Haddy)' will. They discover the existence of a secret Ramsay child, Jill (Perri Cummings). Jill dies and her children, Kate (Ashleigh Brewer), Harry (Will Moore) and Sophie (Kaiya Jones) move into Number 24. Lou moved back into the house in late 2009 after becoming the Ramsay's guardian. Harry departs for Sydney after winning a basketball scholarship. After holding interviews, Kate, Sophie and Lou invite Lucas Fitzgerald to move in. Sophie goes to stay with Paul Robinson, after she falls out with Kate. Kate invites Vanessa Villante (Alin Sumarwata) to move in when she discovers she is pregnant with Lucas' child and living in her car. On 29 May 2012, it was announced Ajay (Sachin Joab), Priya (Menik Gooneratne) and Rani Kapoor (Coco-Jacinta Cherian) would move into Number 24. The set was given a makeover and Gooneratne revealed she decorated it with some of her family photos to "make it feel more like home".
