No. 30
The first time Number 30 was used was when Jim Robinson rented the house for his son Paul and his new wife Terry. Terry shoots Paul and is sent to prison. Paul then moves back to his family home. The Simpson family buy the house, but they are never seen on screen. The house next appears when Edith Chubb (Irene Inescort) buys it and moves in with her nieces, Bronwyn (Rachel Friend) and Sharon (Jessica Muschamp). Hilary Robinson (Anne Scott-Pendlebury) and her son, Matt (Ashley Paske), move in next. A couple of years later Dorothy Burke (Maggie Dence) purchases the house. Dorothy's niece and nephew, Tiffany (Amber Kilpatrick) and Ryan (Richard Norton) later move in. Dorothy takes in Toby Mangel when his father remarries and moves away, she also takes in Phoebe Bright (Simone Robertson). Phoebe gives birth to a daughter, Hope, and she marries Stephen Gottlieb (Lochie Daddo). Dorothy rents the house to Phoebe and Stephen after she moves away. They decide to take in lodgers and their first was Russell Butler (Stephen Whittaker), who kidnaps Hope and refuses to pay his rent. He later flees Ramsay Street. The next lodgers are Beth Brennan and Stephen's brother, Mark (Bruce Samazan). Phoebe and Stephen leave Erinsborough and Mark takes in Annalise Hartman and Rick Alessi. From then on the house was seen to be more of a share house, always taking in the rejects from the rest of the street. Mark's sister, Serendipity (Raelee Hill), moves in, following Annalise's departure.
Luke (Bernard Curry) and Jen Handley (Alyce Platt) move in and Rick moves out. Luke and Serendipity move to Japan and not long after and Cody Willis moves in. Sarah Beaumont (Nicola Charles) moves in with her sister, Catherine O'Brien, who later leaves for England with Malcolm Kennedy. Teacher Lisa Elliott (Kate Straub) moves in for a while as well as Ben Atkins (Brett Cousins) and his sister Caitlin (Emily Milburn). Ben and Caitlin move out in 1998 and Sarah's new housemates are Joel Samuels and Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney). Sarah leaves in 1999 and Lou Carpenter buys the house at auction. Sarah's place in the house is fought over by Lance Wilkinson (Andrew Bibby) and Amy Greenwood (Jacinta Stapleton), with Lance winning. Lance later moves out and his place is taken by Dee Bliss (Madeleine West). After Joel leaves, Stuart Parker (Blair McDonough) moves in and Dee goes missing, presumed dead. Connor O'Neill (Patrick Harvey) then moves into the house and it becomes known as the "House of Trouser".
Lou decides to sell the house in 2004 and the boys buy it. Stuart's girlfriend, Sindi Watts, moves in and so does Stuart's brother Ned. Stuart and Sindi leaves and Connor disappears in mysterious circumstances a few months later. Toadie briefly goes to Sydney and he asks Ned to find some new tenants. Ned selects Frazer Yeats (Ben Lawson), Pepper Steiger (Nicky Whelan) and Will Griggs (Christian Clark). Ned is unaware that Toadies had promised his room to Rosetta Cammeniti (Natalie Saleeba). A vote is taken between the housemates to decide who stays and Ned is voted out. Will leaves and Frazer's younger brother, Ringo Brown, moves in along with Carmella Cammeniti. Will's brother Oliver Barnes (David Hoflin) stays briefly. Pepper leaves at the end of 2007 and Daniel Fitzgerald moved in. Frazer and Roseta leave for Italy and Ringo moves out. Samantha Fitzgerald (Simone Buchanan) stays in the house briefly in April 2008.
In 2008, Toadie takes in Callum Jones (Morgan Baker) after his grandmother becomes ill and later becomes his guardian. Libby Kennedy and her son Ben move in and she later marries Daniel. Lou also move in after Lyn Scully throws him out of Number 26, he later moves in with the Ramsay children. After their marriage falls apart, Daniel leaves town and Libby and Ben move out. Stephanie Scully and her son move in with Toadie and Callum, while they pretend to be a couple. After the secret is exposed, Steph moves out again. Sonya Mitchell (Eve Morey) agrees to move in with Toadie and Callum and when her sister, Jade (Gemma Pranita), arrives, Toadie invites her to stay too. He later asks them to leave when he discovers Sonya is Callum's mother. Toadie and Sonya make up and she moves back in. Following Susan Kennedy's separation from her husband, Toadie invites her to move in. In early 2012, the Number 30 set underwent a makeover. On screen Sonya pushes Toadie to redecorate and change the colour scheme from "drab plaid" and brown to a "brighter, more retro look." Towards the end of the year, Toadie's cousin, Georgia Brooks (Saskia Hampele), comes to stay.
