a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours,
played by Ryan Moloney. He made his first screen appearance during the
episode broadcast on 23 January 1995. Toadie was created by writer
Elizabeth Packett. Moloney had previously auditioned for another role
in the show and had played a minor character, before being cast as
Toadie. The actor was originally scheduled to play Toadie in one
scene, but he went on to become a recurring cast member. When Toadie
became popular with viewers, Moloney was promoted to the regular cast.
In 2015, Moloney celebrated his 20th anniversary with
Neighbours.Toadie was initially portrayed as a troubled teenager and a
"class clown". After qualifying as a lawyer, Toadie matured and became
a responsible member of the community. Despite being labelled "unlucky
in love", Toadie has had several love interests and has been married
three times. Toadie has received mostly positive attention from
television critics and viewers. For his portrayal of Toadie, Moloney
earned a nomination for Best Actor in a Soap at the 2004 Rose d'Or
Awards. In 2010, Moloney won the first Best Daytime Star award at the
Inside Soap Awards. He has since won it three more times in 2011, 2012
and 2019. He has also been nominated for the Logie Award for Most
Popular Actor.The character of Toadfish was created by writer
Elizabeth Packett. Actor Ryan Moloney was cast in the role after
previously auditioning for the role of Brett Stark and appearing as a
minor character called Cyborg, who vandalised the Willis family's
property. Moloney made his first appearance as Toadie during the
episode broadcast on 23 January 1995. He recalled that his first scene
lasted for ten minutes and that it featured Toadie begging his
brother, Stonefish (Anthony Engelman), to take him to the beach.
Moloney was originally contracted to play Toadie in that one scene,
but he went on to become a recurring character. He thought the
producers kept him on as he looked similar to Engelman when he was
younger and they wanted to see more of the Rebecchi family. Toadie
proved to be popular with the Neighbours viewers and he was asked to
continue on the show full-time.
