I assume Andrew Sachs has now left the show but could someone answer a query. I watch Corrie but miss the odd episode and I was wondering about the character of Ramsey.
He is the older illegitimate brother of Norris, and was an orphan who was sent to Australia in about 1940. Some years later he returns ( not sure when)to find his mother. Shortly afterwards the mother dies brought on by the shock of her illegitimate son appearing, and Norris blames Ramsey for her death. Is this correct?
Ramsey then goes back to Australia and reappears recently to find Norris who disowns him.
Two things, when and why did the mother die ? and if Ramsey has been in Australia since the age of 5 does he not speak with an Australian accent?
I felt that the character of Ramsey was wasted. When Frieda came to stay, she thought there was something dodgy about him because he tried too hard to ingratitate himself with everyone. I was expecting that there would be more to his story and that he would possibly be a conman. After all the buildup of Andrew Sachs joining the Street, I felt the storyline had been a bit of a letdown.
he was far too 'nice' now by all means i know theres some decent blokes but he just didnt seem to have any character depth. they could have had that he was a bit of a bad lad and that was why norris hated him so much or something
I have to admit I was utterly disappointed with the end... I thought EE took the cake this year with disappointment with Danielle, but at least there was some connection between the pair in the end before she died.. but Norris never managed to accept Ramsey.
I really wished that Andrew was kept.. I loved him, great actor.. great character.. pity I felt he was wasted...
I thought he was great in Corrie, but I agree, I think his character storyline was wasted a bit. They could have brought him in as more of a permanent character and have him move into the flat like he planned.

What a load of crap he was. Annoying he was that crap. Seriously, he must only be able to act a prat and talk in a accent.
:eek:

I agree honey.. would rather have seen Norris, bumped off, and Ramsay stay, and marry Emily, and live happily until the grim reaper comes acalling...
Yes definitely agree with you there.
What happened then? Last I saw, Ramsay was off to the airport to return to Australia. Please put me out of my misery someone!
Anyway who cares, he only got back on the box after a total sense of humour failure on his behalf, got two of my fave stars in trouble.
More than happy when he bid bon voyage for good.
get your facts right:mad:
Ramsey was that popular in Australia, they named a street after him.:o
lol:)
He's an insipid little man, with no personality, he's bitter twisted and hideously natured.
Please end our suffering, of this horrible character.
