Patrick Mooney
Marital Status: Bev Mooney (Divorced)
Children: Kate, Harry and Sophie

Patrick Mooney was the father of Kate, Harry and Sophie Ramsay, whose mother was Jill Ramsay, the “unfortunate child” borne to Anne Robinson and Max Ramsay. He abandoned the family not long after Sophie was born, but, they believed, he sent them Christmas and birthday gifts every year. However, Kate discovered aged 10 that this was not true – their mother bought the presents herself and their father didn’t care at all. However, Kate kept up the pretence for her brother and sister’s sake. After leaving the Ramsays, Patrick moved to Sydney and married a woman named Bev. Their marriage was short-lived and he left her with many debts.

When Jill was killed in a hit and run in 2009, the Ramsay children moved to Ramsay Street. Paul Robinson, their new-found uncle, felt that he was to blame for Jill’s death and tried to find the children’s father in an attempt to make amends. However, he discovered that Patrick had moved to the Philippines and died, years earlier, and he broke the news to the orphans.

A while later, Sophie wanted to learn about her father but whilst Harry was willing to talk about him, Kate wasn’t. Harry said that Patrick couldn’t have been all that bad because he kept sending them presents, but Kate, knowing the truth, was uncomfortable discussing him. Eventually, however, she realised that it couldn’t do any harm to let her siblings believe that their father had cared about them.
