In June 2024 it was announced that beloved Ryan Moloney would depart his legacy Neighbours character Jarrod ‘Toadie’ Rebecchi in late 2024.
After first starring in the series in 1995, he quickly became some of the soaps most recognisable faces. Over the 30 years, he has rocked a 90s mullet, a goatie and became well known for his bad luck in the love department.
“After 30 years playing Toadie, I will be leaving Ramsay Street. I can’t tell you what is happening to the character – maybe I could be the next Jim Robinson. Or maybe I’ll be the next Harold Bishop and keep popping back over the years,” he shared in a Ten statement.
How Toadie’s storyline will conclude remains unknown, but Ryan won’t be straying too far from Ramsay Street as he will be bringing “fantastic storylines” from “behind the camera.”
As fans prepare to bid farewell to Ryan, we’ve collected some of our favourite Toadie moments during his three decades on Neighbours.
FIVE MARRIAGES
You read that right! Toadie was arguably one of the most unlucky fiction characters in Erinsborough when it came to love – some would even say he was cursed. He was married a total of five times…
Toadie wed Dee Bliss, Andrea Somers – who was Dee’s twin – Sonya Rebecchi, Step Scully and most recently Terese Willis.
DRIVING OFF A CLIFF
In 2003, Toadie was involved in a major storyline for Neighbours. On the day of his wedding to Dee Bliss, he accidentally drove off a cliff.
Dee was presumed dead for nearly 15 years until she shockingly appeared on Toadie’s doorstep with his teenage daughter.
BE GONE MULLET!
Toadie rocked the mullet for quite some time during the 90s. But Neighbours fans around the globe shed a tear when his infamous locks were cut by Lou in 1999.
ADOPTING CALLUM
Young Callum was in desperate need of a male influence in his life, and quickly bonded with Toadie over their love of wrestling. For a short period of time, Toadie was even a part-time wrestler known as The Lawnmower.
It was later revealed in the series that Sonya, Toadie’s third wife, was Callum’s biological mother.
