5635: Harold leaves Ramsay Street forever

Bridget questions if she’s got what it takes to be a mother after Joanna suggests her inability to forgive Miranda might mean she’s too immature to be a mum herself.

Devastated Bridget then decides to adopt her baby out without first talking it over with Declan, who is hurt and angry about not being consulted.

Receiving some hard advice from Rebecca, Declan finds the courage to support his girlfriend through the difficult time in the hope his support might sway her to change her mind.

Horrified by Bridget’s decision and terrified of losing her grandchild, Miranda offers to mother Bridget’s baby herself.

Harold’s plans to leave town before the neighbours can throw his surprise party are thwarted. He enlists Susan’s help to distribute a few things before he leaves. One of those items is a history of Ramsay Street he’s been writing.

Anointing Toadie as the keeper of the Ramsay Street spirit, Harold leaves Erinsborough with Lou as a stowaway. Lou’s accompanying Harold to Queensland to make sure he gets there safely. Harold leaves Ramsay Street forever to the sounds of a Salvation Army band.

Paul can’t resist the cat-and-mouse game that is his on-again-off-again interest in Cass Freedman. Elle is horrified to learn that Lucas might have been fostering the attraction between Paul and Cass.
