Carol Brown and her family at the beginning of the series, followed briefly by the Sutton family. Later in 1985, Jim Robinson (Alan Dale) rents the house for his son, Paul (Stefan Dennis), and his new wife, Terry (Maxine Klibingaitis). 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 in 1988, when Edith Chubb (Irene Inescort) buys it and moves in with her nieces, Bronwyn (Rachel Friend) and Sharon (Jessica Muschamp). When Edith moves to the country to nurse a sick relative, Hilary Robinson (Anne Scott-Pendlebury) moves in to look after Sharon, and is later joined by her son, Matt (Ashley Paske). Dorothy Burke (Maggie Dence) purchases the house in 1990 when Hilary moves away, and her niece and nephew, Tiffany (Amber Kilpatrick) and Ryan (Richard Norton), later move in. After they leave, Dorothy takes in Toby Mangel (Ben Geurens) when his father remarries and moves away, and later Phoebe Bright (Simone Robertson) after her father suffers a heart attack. 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 with Toby and her new fiancé. The Gottliebs 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 (Natalie Imbruglia) and Stephen's brother, Mark (Bruce Samazan). Phoebe and Stephen leave Erinsborough and Mark takes in Annalise Hartman (Kimberley Davies) and Rick Alessi (Dan Falzon). 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 Cody Willis (Peta Brady) moves in. Sarah Beaumont (Nicola Charles) moves in with her sister, Catherine O'Brien (Radha Mitchell), who later leaves for England with Malcolm Kennedy (Benjamin McNair). 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
