Kevin Rebecchi (commonly known as "Stonefish" or "Stonie") is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Anthony Engelman.
In 1994, TV Week revealed Neighbours would be introducing "a younger, livelier look with six regular characters under the age of 18.
[4] A writer for Inside Soap said Stonefish was happiest causing a stir in the classroom, and that wherever there was trouble, you could bet he was involved.
"[2] Stonefish later stole some exam papers from Erinsborough High and he sold them to Rick Alessi (Dan Falzon), who wanted to help Cody when she fell behind with her revision.
He and his family – mother Angie (Lesley Baker), father Kevin (Don Bridges), brothers Shane (Greg O'Meara) and Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) – moved into Number 32 Ramsay Street.
[5][7] An Inside Soap columnist called the Rebecchi family "dodgy" and said the residents should nail down their valuables and lock up their daughters.
[4] Stonefish made a brief return in 2003 for his brother Toadie's wedding to Dee Bliss (Madeleine West).
[8] After Toadie accidentally drove the wedding car off a cliff and into the sea, Stonie helped to save his brother.
[8] But Toadie's girlfriend Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner) took pity on Stonie and allowed him to move back in.
[11] The actor told Sarah Ellis of Inside Soap that he had thought about returning to the show after watching the Neighbours 30th: The Stars Reunite documentary.
"[9] Lesley Baker (Angie) was pleased to be reunited with Engelman, saying that she wished they could have spent more time together, as he and Moloney are fun to work with.
[9] The character returned again on 4 May 2016,[14] and appeared in December, where he shows Toadie a photo of a woman he believes to be Dee.
[15] On 17 January 2018, it was announced that Engelman had reprised the role again, along with several other returning cast members, for a feature-length special episode, which aired on 12 February 2018.
At the start of 1995, He finds himself an unwitting Guinea Pig in an experiment conducted by Brett and the newly arrived Libby Kennedy (Kym Valentine), who want to see if they can get the most unlikely candidate elected as school captain.
As Stonie begins studying for his HSC, he calls on Annalise Hartman (Kimberly Davies) to tutor him in English and Maths.
After months of sexual tension, Annalise and Stonefish sleep together only for Angie to come home and discover the affair.
Upon starting University, Stonie falls for Catherine O'Brien (Radha Mitchell) and is willing to go to any lengths to impress her, including pretending to be a vegetarian and getting involved in environmental issues.
This is cut short when Catherine returns to Tasmania to look after her mother Bess (Diana McLean).
When Stonie and Malcolm buy a car together, they are horrified to learn its previous owners were drug dealers and the stash is still inside.
During a scuffle between the police and the dealers, who return to recover the drugs, a gunshot is fired through the window of Number 30 and Cody is shot.
During the visit, Stonie admits that he is jealous of his younger brother for graduating university, becoming a lawyer and preparing to settle down, whereas he has spent the past several years working in their parents Roadhouse.
When Toadie returns to spot where the accident happens and begins wading into the sea, Stonie manages to stop his brother from committing suicide.
He organises a day of pizza and wrestling, but Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) interrupts to invite them to a seminar at the hospital.
[20] Of the character's 2007 return, a reporter for the Evening Chronicle said "Stonefish was always a rogue when he was originally a Ramsay Street resident and things aren't much better now he's back.
