Neighbours' Ryan Moloney on Toadie's exit: 'We took the character to the limits'
The actor has revealed how he feels about his upcoming exit storyline.
Ryan Moloney has revealed his thoughts on his impending departure from Australian soap Neighbours, after announcing that he will be leaving his iconic role of Jarrod 'Toadie' Rebecchi.
The actor has played Toadie since 1995, and the character will soon take centre stage as a number of Ramsay Street regulars head to the Outback, where danger isn't far behind.
Ahead of the dramatic episodes, which are set to air in August, Moloney spoke exclusively to RadioTimes.com, and was asked if he's happy with how his exit plays out.
"Yeah, I think it's pretty good! I think, you know, we kind of took the character to the limits," he revealed. "And I think we kind of get a sense of completion about it."

"Yeah, I am [happy], I'm kind of excited for the future, and I'm excited to come over and see everyone for Toad on the Road! So it ain't the end of the Toad, I guess! Well, you know, not yet, anyway!"
Moloney's solo tour, Toad on the Road, arrives in the UK this September, where the actor will be looking back over his almost 30 years on Neighbours. And speaking of nostalgia, the star notes that Toadie is currently troubled by his eventful past.
"He's kind of getting haunted by his past, quite a lot," he told RadioTimes.com. "And he's struggling a lot with it! But yeah, in terms of reflecting on Toadie's past – didn't really get much time to do that, [it was] incredibly busy. It was pretty full-on!"
With such a chaotic time ahead on-screen, we can only wait and see what becomes of Toadie in the coming weeks.
Neighbours airs its big Death in the Outback week from Monday 19th August on Amazon Freevee.
