Meet the new Rafter

It’s a girl! Meet the latest addition to the ‘Rafters’ clan, Ruby Louise Rafter.

In the season finale of Seven’s ‘Packed to the Rafters’, the tightly kept secret surrounding the gender of the ‘Rafters’ latest addition was finally revealed.

The momentous arrival of the new baby wasn’t the only drama for the Rafters. Summer brought even more heat to what was already set to be a trying few hours for the family.

Rachel found herself contemplating an non-proposal from a seizure induced Jake; Warnie continued to impose on Ben, Melissa and Carbo’s “comfortable” living arrangements; and Nathan and Sammy’s marrige took yet another hit.

After finally scoring a win in their favour — $14,000 in a game of roulette to be exact — it seemed things were finally coming together for the young couple, who were set on paying off their debts and finally finding their own apartment. But in true Rafters fashion, Nathan’s recklessness and lies caught up with him as his newfound gambling addiction took hold.

Add to all this Dave’s unfortunately scheduled vasectomy, it seemed timing couldn’t be worse to welcome baby Ruby into the world.

As the season came to a close, were left wondering whether Nathan and Sammy’s marriage could ever recover from this latest blow? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

‘Packed to the Rafters’ returns for its third season on Seven in 2010.
