Storylines

Shane Ramsay was born shortly after his parents moved to Ramsay Street and Shane became best friends with his next door neighbour, Paul Robinson. Shane enjoyed swimming and Max entered him into an Under-12s swimming team in the hope that Shane would make it to the Olympics one day. To Max's dismay, Shane's training regime was regularly interrupted by girls wanting to get a glimpse of him in his Speedos. Shane was only interested in casual relationships until he saw Daphne Lawrence. Shane asked her out to dinner and she agreed, they then began a relationship. Max was not happy that Shane was seeing Daphne and he was annoyed when she moved in with Des Clarke as a lodger. Shane was in a car accident with his younger brother Danny and he was forced to give up any hope of taking part in the Olympics. Shane wanted to become an air steward like Paul, but the back injury from the accident meant he couldn't do the job. He then became a chauffeur for wealthy businesswoman, Linda Fielding.

Daphne ended the relationship with Shane when she realised she was in love with Des. Shane then started dating plumber, Terry Inglis. Terry told Shane that ex-husband was a bank robber and the man who crashed into Shane's car and caused his injury. Terry's ex turned up in Ramsay Street and threatened her and Max, but Shane alerted the police. Terry later got engaged to Paul and Shane began seeing Daphne again. Shane asked Daphne to move in with him, but Daphne realised that she still loved Des and they became engaged. Shane was sacked from his job when he used a limousine to take Daphne to the church on her wedding day and it was stolen by thief. He then formed a gardening service with Clive Gibbons. Shane became worried when their first client, Beth Travers began showering him with gifts after he slept with her. Shane was shocked when Beth locked him in her wine cellar. Beth later let him out and apologised.

When Daphne became single again, after Des jilted her at the altar, Shane was determined to win her back. Shane proposed to her, and she accepted. Shane became paranoid when Daphne went out to dinner with Des one evening. He waited for them to arrive home and began accusing them of cheating on him together. Daphne asked him to leave and handed back her engagement ring. Shane became low and lost his self-confidence. Mike Young asked Shane to coach him when he joined the school diving team and Shane even dived himself for the first time since the accident. Shane then chose to enrol in a business class and change his life.

When Max left Erinsborough for a reunion with Maria, Shane's uncle Tom, aunt Madge and her daughter Charlene moved in. Shane was involved in another car accident, which resulted in the death of Tom's friend, Jean Richards. Shane was charged with the manslaughter of Jean, but the charges were later dropped. Madge's son, Henry moved in and tensions arose between him and Shane. Shane began to question what was left for him in Erinsborough and he eventually decided to leave. He left on his motorbike to travel around Australia.
