Neighbours just won two Daytime Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series. This was the soap’s first nomination in the States, but it has already earned a number of nominations and wins within the U.K. and Australia.
Neighbours star Ryan Moloney has revealed that bosses had written an exit storyline for his character, Jarrod “Toadfish” Rebecchi. Luckily, he was so good, he was kept on.

He previously told the Mirror: “I worked out in the very early days that the main reason people were given for being fired, nine times out of ten, was: ‘We just don’t see any more kind of story arc for your character’. So roughly three or four months before the end of my contract I would go to the story team and dump like 15 or 20 story ideas on their desk so they never run out of ideas for me.”
“Apparently there was – a day when they’d had enough of Toadie – I had someone tell me: ‘We had a see-you-later storyline for you but you did such a good job we decided to keep you on’.”
