After an incredible 30 years, beloved Neighbours star Ryan Moloney has made the bittersweet announcement that he will be leaving the show. In a heartfelt video released earlier this week, the actor, best known for his role as Toadfish "Toadie" Rebecchi, revealed that he will be moving on to new projects in the UK.
But before fans start to worry too much about missing him, Ryan has revealed that he will be embarking on a UK nationwide tour in September, aptly named "Toad on the Road". This isn't his first time touring in the UK - last year, he and his castmates embarked on a sell-out fifteen date Celebration Tour before filming for the new series began.
During his time on the show, Ryan's character Toadie has gone through numerous ups and downs, including multiple marriages and even a shocking return of his ex-wife Dee and her identical twin sister Andrea. But with his departure looming, Ryan is excited to show his fans a different side of himself through his new show.
In an exclusive chat with The Agency earlier this year, Ryan shared his plans for the tour, which he describes as a combination of television and theatre. Having been performing since the age of eight, Ryan is eager to showcase his talents in musicals, comedy, and hosting.
As for his character's departure from Ramsay Street, Ryan joked that Toadie will be dying - although he quickly backtracked and said he wasn't supposed to reveal that. Fans will have to wait and see how Toadie's story will end, as soap bosses are keeping the plot under wraps.
But before his exit, Ryan will be bringing his "Toad on the Road" tour to various cities in the UK, including Birmingham, Newport, Worthing, Blackpool, and Glasgow. Tickets can be purchased through the Maple Tree Entertainment website.
While Toadfish may be a lawyer on the show, the real Ryan is quite different. He spends his free time renovating a farm on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. And he's excited for the opportunity to work in the UK, as the British fanbase is the largest for Neighbours.
But before he leaves, Ryan is hoping for a reunion with his on-screen love interest, Melanie Pearson. In the meantime, fans can catch him on the Amazon Freevee soap from Mondays to Thursdays at 7am.
As the show approaches its 40th anniversary next year, Ryan reflects on the journey and expresses his gratitude for the fans who fought to keep the show on the air after it was initially cancelled in 2022. And although he wishes for his character to finally find happiness, he knows the drama will continue until his final episode.
But for now, we can enjoy Ryan's talent and charisma on his upcoming "Toad on the Road" tour, as well as keeping up with all the latest soap news through Metro's WhatsApp Soaps community. And who knows, maybe one day we'll see Ryan return to Ramsay Street. After all, anything is possible in the world of soap operas.
