Ryan Moloney to exit Neighbours in late 2024

Beloved Neighbours star, Ryan Moloney will bid farewell to Ramsay Street in late 2024.

Ryan first graced our screens as Jarrod ‘Toadfish’ Rebecchi in 1995, and became a Neighbours staple ever since.

“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.

“And although I won’t be bringing you our fantastic storylines from in front of the camera, I will be bringing them to you from the other side, behind the camera. I’ve just started director training and have just finished filming my first episode as director – so I really hope that you enjoy that.”

Ryan continued on to thank all the dedicated Neighbours fans for all the love and support over his three decades on the soap.

“Thank you all for the love that you have shown me and Toadie over the years. Three decades, in fact. I’ll miss you, I’ll miss him, and I’ll miss Erinsborough… but whatever you do, make sure you don’t miss what’s going to happen on Ramsay Street.”

As for exactly when in 2024 Toadie will disappear from our screens is yet to be confirmed. However, the Network only assured it would be an “emotional journey” for him this season.

In July, Ryan teased a “big storyline” would be coming for Toadie has he prepares to exit.

“I’m not going to say if he lives or dies. I’m just going to say it’s a big storyline. It’s not something to be missed,” he said on ITV’s This Morning.

In response to the Neighbours “royalty” departing, its executive producer Jason Herbison commented: “The street won’t be the same without seeing him every week, however there’s every chance he will pop back in the future.

“In the meantime, we’re thrilled to support his directing ambitions and can’t wait for viewers to see how Toadie’s season-long story arc plays out. Ryan’s been instrumental in the journey and has blown us away with his performance.”
