AUSTRALIAN soap Neighbours has revealed Toadie’s fate after fans thought he was going to be killed off after tragic scenes last week. Star Ryan Moloney , who plays Jarrod “Toadfish” Rebecchi, announced that he would be ending his tenure on the soap after almost 30 years. With that kind of legacy, Ryan’s departure from the soap was bound to be explosive - which is why fans thought he would be killed off after he got caught up in Tess (Anica Calida) and Heath’s (Ethan Panizza) embezzlement scheme.

Looking out for his protegee Mackenzie (Georgie Stone), Toadie and his ex-wife Mel (Lucinda Cowden) went digging into Heath’s background, only to be kidnapped and taken to the outback in North Queensland. Meanwhile, Holly (Lucinda Armstrong Hall) unknowingly travelled to the same location with Heath for what she believed was a romantic getaway. However, things soon went sideways when Holly realised the truth about villainous Heath.

Once when he got away from Heath after Holly helped him and Melanie escaped from the station, then again when he narrowly avoided being eaten by a crocodile (a fate that later befell Heath), and once more when a cop rescued him after he’d collapsed from dehydration and exhaustion on the middle of the train track. Despite all that he had endured, Toadie couldn’t shake the feeling that something was still wrong, even when he return.
