Ashleigh Brewer As Kate Ramsay
Due to her mother’s untimely death, Kate spent her teens playing surrogate mum to her younger siblings Harry and Sophie. With them now off her hands, Kate is starting to enjoy the freedoms of young adulthood.
Naturally conservative, Kate’s begun to explore her rebellious side and realized she can be surprisingly strong-willed and stubborn – particularly when it comes to setting her uncle Paul Robinson on the straight and narrow.
Kate puts an incredible amount of pressure on herself to be perfect. Like her uncle, she enjoys order and control. Kate isn’t in any way a fussy girl. She’s feminine without being showy. She has a passion for dancing but this had to take a back seat to raising Sophie and Harry.
Her one secret escape that has remained constant over the years is her love of romance novels – the grander then better.
Proud, Kate rejected Elle and her money and threw her out of the house asking her never to come back again. However, Susan who had accompanied Elle, later returned with Dan to try and make an in-road as it was obvious these kids needed help. Kate is very protective of her brother Harry and sister Sophie, so getting close to them without Kate is near impossible, however Dan almost succeeded in getting Harry to open up until Kate insisted Harry stay on side and not talk to anyone associated with the Robinsons. But things quickly went from bad to worse for the Ramsays when the media started to harrass them outside their home. Elle then came up with an idea to get the media off their back, she would buy their story for $15,000 and the Erinsborough News.
They continued to struggle however, and Susan came to the rescue, telling Kate about Ramsay Street and her ancestors and their rightful link to the street. Eventually, Kate started to realise the people of Ramsay Street weren't so bad afterall and moved into number 24. However, Kate and Harry were unable to accept the kindness of everyone at first, and really struggle with living next door to Paul and Elle.
Meanwhile, Paul was under investigation as the murderer of Jill Ramsay and had skipped bail to search for the Ramsay kid's father. Then Rebecca noticed a picture Sophie had drawn showing she was at the scene when her mother was hit and was the missing link needed to prove Paul's innocence. Protective Kate however wouldn't have a bar of it and refused to allow anyone come near Sophie who was obviously suffering from the loss of her mother.
Kate puts an incredible amount of pressure on herself to be perfect – something she shares with Mark Brennan. Whenever Kate lets herself go, it makes her feel guilty. It’s like she can’t have fun – that’s for Sophie to enjoy.
Naturally conservative, Kate doesn’t have a rebellious bone in her body. She likes playing by the rules and going with the flow. However, under pressure she releases the fire and strength within her and can be surprisingly strong-willed and stubborn and certainly messes up sometimes.
Kate isn’t in any way a fussy girl. She’s feminine without being showy. She has a passion for dancing but has put aside what she considers to be a childish pursuit to concentrate on her siblings. Her one secret escape from her world of responsibility is indulging in romance novels.
Having missed out on her youth she finally wants to live for herself, and appreciate the opportunities to choose her own future. She feels she needs to let go of the pressure and act her age.
