Number 32 was first seen in 1986 when Nell Mangel (Vivean Gray) was introduced, along with her granddaughter Jane Harris (Annie Jones). Mrs Mangel takes in Harold Bishop as a lodger, before her son Joe Mangel (Mark Little), grandson Toby Mangel (Finn Greentree-Keane) and their dog, Bouncer move in. Both Mrs Mangel and Jane soon depart, and Joe's fiancée Kerry Bishop (Linda Hartley-Clark) and her daughter Sky Bishop (Miranda Fryer) move in. Matt Robinson and Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden) become lodgers. After Joe and Melanie are married, they sell Number 32 and move away. The house is bought by Rosemary Daniels (Joy Chambers) on behalf of the Daniel's Corporation and it is rented to Faye Hudson (Lorraine Bayly) and her son, Cameron Hudson.
