Ryan, who plays long-standing character Jarrod 'Toadfish' Rebecchi on the popular soap, announced back in June that he would be calling time on the iconic character. Speaking with Aussie soap opera website Back to the Bay, Ryan, 44, said that he was grateful that the choice had been made for him.
'Well, it actually wasn't my choice. It was their choice,' he told the publication. He admitted that he had been wanting to leave the soap for 'some time' but its lure had proved too great to resist.
'I've been wanting to leave for quite a long time, but Neighbours is one of those jobs that you work with awesome people. You get paid really well. And if you had a mate who had one of these jobs, you'd be saying, "oh, mate, what are you doing? You've got to stay there.
See it out for as long as you can",' he said. Ryan added that while he had wanted to move on for some time, he had always found it hard to say 'no'. 'So I'm quite grateful that they actually made that decision for me because I don't think that I could ever say no to a contract.
