Question: Where is the Australian soap opera Neighbours filmed?

Ramsay Street



Ramsay Street is the fictional cul-de-sac in which the characters of the Australian soap opera Neighbours live. The street is set in the equally fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough. Neighbours storylines primarily centre on the residents of the Street, which was named after the grandfather of original character Max Ramsay (Francis Bell).[1] A storyline within the show saw the name of the street nearly changed to Ramsbottom Street. Harold Bishop (Ian Smith) led a protest against it and won.[2]
Pin Oak Court, in Vermont South (at ), is the real cul-de-sac that doubles for Ramsay Street. All of the houses featured in the show are real and the residents allow Neighbours to shoot external scenes in their front and back gardens. Neighbours has been filmed in Pin Oak Court since the series began in 1985 and it has since become popular with tourists. Tours to the cul-de-sac run throughout the year. The interior scenes are filmed at the Global Television studios in Forest Hill, the adjoining suburb in which Pin Oak Court is located.
History
Neighbours creator Reg Watson was sure that the neighbourhood setting was a good idea for a serial drama, following his work on daytime soap opera Until Tomorrow, which was set in a suburban street.[3] He stated, "I wanted to show three families living in a small street in a Melbourne suburb who are friends."[3] Location scouts found the quiet cul-de-sac of Pin Oak Court in Vermont South. All of the residents signed up when they were told that the show would likely last a couple of years, and they would receive payment in return for allowing filming to take place outside their houses.[3] Interior sets were built at Network Seven's HSV studios in Melbourne.[3] When Seven cancelled Neighbours in July 1985, it was immediately picked up by Network Ten. When the sets were due to be collected, Seven said they had been destroyed in a fire, forcing Ten to build new sets.[4] The interior scenes are now filmed at Global Television studios in Forest Hill.[5][6] Pin Oak Court has become popular with viewers and there are regular tours to the cul-de-sac throughout the year.[7]
No. 22

When Neighbours first began, Number 22 was initially empty.[1] In 1986, it was rented out by Clive Gibbons (Geoff Paine), Clive rented the house from an unseen landlord.[1] During his time there, Clive invited Daphne Lawrence (Elaine Smith), Zoe Davis (Ally Fowler) and Mike Young (Guy Pearce) to move in with him. Clive later began a relationship with Susan Cole (Gloria Ajenstat) and he invited her to move in. Susan left Ramsay Street and Clive moved into a flat behind his surgery. Following Clive's departure the house was bought by Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) for the Daniels Corporation, who wanted the land to build a supermarket on.[1] The deal fell through and Paul moved in.[1] When he married Gail Lewis (Fiona Corke), the couple lived there as man and wife until they divorced in 1989. Paul then rented the house to twins Caroline (Gillian Blakeney) and Christina Alessi (Gayle Blakeney). Paul later married Christina and they lived in the house with their son, Andrew (Shannon Holmes). In 1992, Caroline, Christina, Paul and Andrew left.[1] The house was then rented out to Benito (George Spartels) and Cathy Alessi (Elspeth Ballantyne), who moved in with their sons, Marco (Felice Arena) and Rick (Dan Falzon). Benito and Cathy left in 1993 and Marco and Rick moved out.[1]
Number 22 was left empty for a while, but Paul then rented it to the Lim Family for a month.[1] Paul then sold the house to Cheryl Stark (Caroline Gillmer) and she moved in with her son and daughter, Brett (Brett Blewitt) and Danni (Eliza Szonert).[1] Cheryl, Brett and Danni went to live with Cheryl's partner Lou Carpenter (Tom Oliver) for a short while, before all four moved to Number 22. Cheryl died in 1996 and Brett and Danni moved away. Cheryl's elder son Darren (Todd MacDonald) and Marlene Kratz (Moya O'Sullivan) moved in to help Lou. Marlene left in 1997 and Darren in 1998. Lou's youngest daughter, Louise (Jiordan Anna Tolli), also left when it was revealed that Lou was not her biological father. Lou then began to take in lodgers, including Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney), Drew Kirk (Dan Paris) and Darcy Tyler (Mark Raffety).
Drew and his wife Libby (Kym Valentine) rented the house from Lou briefly, following the birth of their son Ben (Noah Sutherland). Following Drew's death, Libby moved back in with her parents and Lou returned. Nina Tucker (Delta Goodrem) and her mother Trixie (Wendy Stapleton) moved in with Lou, but they both left in 2003. Valda Sheergold (Joan Sydney) bought the house when Lou began going through financial troubles. Valda later sold the house back to Paul. Paul kicked Lou out and moved his girlfriend, Isabelle Hoyland (Natalie Bassingthwaighte) in. Paul's daughter Elle (Pippa Black) also moved in and not long after, her brothers, Robert and Cameron (both played by Adam Hunter) moved in until Robert was sent to prison and Cameron died. Isabelle left the street in 2006 and Paul invited Lyn Scully (Janet Andrewartha) to move in, when Lyn was forced to sell her own house. Lyn left Erinsborough for Shelley Bay following her and Paul's brief marriage. Elle discovered that Paul had deceived her and was involved in her break-up with Dylan Timmins (Damien Bodie) and she devised a plan to trick Paul into signing all his assets over to her. Elle took in Ned Parker (Daniel O'Connor) as a lodger and shortly afterwards she let Paul move back in. Ned later moved into Number 26.
Paul asked Rebecca Napier (Jane Hall) and her son, Declan (James Sorensen), to move in. When Paul's affair with Kirsten Gannon (Nikola Dubois) was exposed, Rebecca and Declan moved out. Elle forced Paul to leave for a short while and she later invited Donna Freedman (Margot Robbie) to move in.[8] Elle invited her boyfriend, Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major) to move with her. Rebecca, Declan and his daughter India were forced to move out of Number 26 and they moved back into Number 22. Elle sold the house back to Paul to ease her financial troubles.[9] Elle departed for a job and Paul's youngest son, Andrew, returned to Erinsborough and moved in. Donna moves out to live with her husband. Rebecca, Declan and India move out after Rebecca leaves Paul. Sophie Ramsay (Kaiya Jones) and her sister, Kate (Ashleigh Brewer), move in during 2011 and 2012 respectively.[10][11] The following year, Andrew and Sophie leave Erinsborough, while Kate and Paul move out.[12][13]
The Number 22 set was given a makeover in time for the arrival of the Willis family, who moved in shortly after their arrival on-screen in May 2013.[13] After two years in Canada, Piper Willis (Mavournee Hazel) moves in, just as her parents relationship falls apart. In 2015, Brad Willis (Kip Gamblin) moves out to live at Number 32.[14] He later returned temporarily to care for an injured Terese.[15] Paul returned to live at Number 22 after moving out of his penthouse apartment in Lassiter's. But moves out after he becomes a suspect in the Lassiter's explosion.[16]

No. 24

Number 24 was one of the three original houses featured in Ramsay Street and has often been associated with the Ramsay family since the show began.[1] Max Ramsay (Francis Bell), his wife Maria Ramsay (Dasha Blahova) and their two sons Shane Ramsay (Peter O'Brien) and Danny Ramsay (David Clencie) were the first family to live there.[1] After their departures, Max's sister Madge Mitchell (Anne Charleston), her children Charlene Mitchell (Kylie Minogue) and Henry Ramsay (Craig McLachlan), and Max and Madge's brother Tom Ramsay (Gary Files) all lived there.[1] Charlene and Madge's husbands Scott Robinson (Jason Donovan) and Harold Bishop (Ian Smith) move in after their respective weddings.[1] Madge and Harold take in Brenda Riley (Genevieve Lemon) and her nephew Guy Carpenter (Andrew Williams), and later Lou Carpenter (Tom Oliver).[1]
After Madge's departure from the serial in 1992, Lou takes in a number of lodgers, including Beth Brennan (Natalie Imbruglia) and Cameron Hudson (Benjamin Grant Mitchell), and Annalise Hartman (Kimberley Davies). Marlene Kratz (Moya O'Sullivan) buys the house and moves in with her grandson Sam Kratz (Richard Grieve).[1] They take in Cody Willis (Peta Brady) as a lodger when her parents move away. Annalise and her sister Joanna Hartman (Emma Harrison) also move in.

Harold is joined by his granddaughter Sky Mangel (Stephanie McIntosh), his son David Bishop (Kevin Harrington), daughter-in-law Liljana Bishop (Marcella Russo) and granddaughter Serena Bishop (Lara Sacher). After David and his family were killed off in the plane crash storyline, Marco Silvani (Jesse Rosenfeld) and Carmella Cammeniti (Natalie Blair) rent the property. After Harold gives the house to the Salvation Army,[17] Donna Freedman's (Margot Robbie) mother Cassandra Freedman (Tottie Goldsmith) and half-siblings Simon Freedman (Mauricio Merino Jr) and Tegan Freedman (Chelsea Jones) are the first family to move in at the start of 2009. A locket belonging to Anne Robinson is found underneath the house, as part of a storyline reintroducing the Ramsay family.[18] The locket leads to the revelation that Anne and Max Ramsay had a daughter, Jill Ramsay (Perri Cummings), whose children Kate Ramsay (Ashleigh Brewer), Harry Ramsay (Will Moore) and Sophie Ramsay (Kaiya Jones) move into Number 24.[19] They take in Lou, Lucas Fitzgerald (Scott Major), and Vanessa Villante (Alin Sumarwata).[20]
In 2012, the Kapoor family –Ajay (Sachin Joab), his wife Priya (Menik Gooneratne) and their daughter Rani (Coco Cherian) – were introduced to the regular cast and moved into the house.[21] The set underwent a makeover, and Gooneratne helped decorate the living area with some of her personal family photos. She stated, "Although I'm officially at work, having photos of my parents and grandparents taken when they lived in Sri Lanka makes it feel more like home."[21] Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor) rents the house, and eventually buys it. Paige Smith (Olympia Valance) takes over the spare room following her introduction.[22] Mark is later joined by his siblings Tyler Brennan (Travis Burns),[23] Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) and Chloe Brennan (April Rose Pengilly). Aaron's husband David Tanaka (Takaya Honda) moves in with the family in 2018, and they adopt a dog, Reggie (Timba).

Brad and Lauren leave for the Gold Coast, and they allow Paige to stay in Number 32.[78] She later accepts Mark's offer to move into Number 24. The house is then let to Shane Rebecchi (Nicholas Coghlan), who moves in with his wife Dipi (Sharon Johal) and their daughters Yashvi (Olivia Junkeer) and Kirsha Rebecchi (Vani Dhir).[79]

Reception
Former executive producer of Neighbours Don Battye described the street in 1989: "Let's face it, it's a court, a dead-end street, it doesn't go anywhere. It's very much a community. Frankly, if you – in that one street – had somebody murdered, somebody with AIDS, somebody was an alcoholic, and one of the kids on drugs, you'd end up (with something) as outrageous as Peyton Place."[80] Peter Conrad of The Guardian commented, "Ramsay Street is a picture of innocence in comparison with dank, skulking Coronation Street or the war zone of Albert Square."[7]
In September 2010, Ramsay Street came first in a poll to find out which television property is the best. The open plan houses in the street gained forty per cent of the vote.[81] During a hostage situation in Number 32, Roz Laws of the Sunday Mercury noted "Ramsay Street becomes a disaster zone, it's almost as dangerous as Summer Bay these days".[82] A Sunday Mail reporter observed, "Ramsay Street is the friendly sort of place where folk move into and out of each other's houses. It's much like Goldilocks testing the contents of the bears' house, depending on which love crisis the scriptwriters have brought to a head that week."[83]
