Jarrod Vincenzo Rebecchi, commonly known as "Toadfish" or "Toadie", is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Ryan Moloney.

Series producer Jason Herbison told Inside Soap that a major storyline was planned for Toadie, featuring returning characters connected to him.

[14] In one storyline Toadie and Connor O'Neill (Patrick Harvey) decide to take part in local wrestling, where he meets Genevieve Doyle (Lulu McClatchy).

[30] When the series returned in September 2023, the first episode revealed that Toadie was marrying Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), with their romance having developed off-screen after they both separated from their respective partners.

[31][32] Following the episode's premiere, Herbison explained his decision to unite Toadie and Terese, highlighting the storyline's potential to re-engage viewers.

[35] Jealous of the time Terese is spending with her ex-husband Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis), Toadie gives into Melanie's continued advances and they have sex.

Moloney stated his desire to tell the story in "a genuine and honest way", emphasising Toadie's continued issues with abandonment and revealing that he had attempted to play the character as "close to a mental breakdown" at this point.

[37] Moloney later discussed his desire to "split the audience" with the relationship, which he viewed as having been fulfilled, with further fan engagement encouraged by Mel's return and the increase in scenes between Terese and Paul.

[38] Herbison further explained that Toadie's exit was conceived out of consideration for "keep[ing] the production model fresh and sustainable" and "to keep viewers on their toes, while also progressing storylines in a natural way".

[47] While the guest character of Heath Royce (Ethan Panizza) was killed during the episode first shown on 22 August, Toadie and Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone) were both also left in potentially fatal circumstances.

[48] Although Toadie survives the ordeal, Moloney described the character as "mentally gone" and accepting that he cannot fight any longer, influencing his subsequent decision to leave Erinsborough.

[49] The storyline revolves around Toadie returning to Erinsborough for a visit, and asking if Nell could temporarily live with the Kennedys after his father Kevin Rebecchi was diagnosed with cancer and was set to die.

[51] In an interview for Ramsay Street Revelations, Ayisha Salem-Towner, who plays Nell, reveals that after Moloney's exit, her future on the show was "a little bit uncertain for several months".

Toadie comes into conflict with Billy's father, Karl (Alan Fletcher) because of his behaviour and his mother Angie (Lesley Baker) later sends him to live with his aunt Coral (Denise Scott).

Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) starts blackmailing Toadie and later reveals Steph's secret during a public event, devastating Dan's wife Libby Kennedy (Kym Valentine).

Toadie offers Lucas, Lou and Kyle Canning (Chris Milligan) money for their businesses, so the car park can be built in their place.

Toadie and Sonya's marriage becomes strained when she starts spending less time at home with her family to help out other people, including single father Jacob Holmes (Clayton Watson), who kisses her.

Toadie and Sonya struggle to raise Nell and Hugo alongside running their businesses and hire Alice Wells (Kerry Armstrong) as their live-in nanny.

When Toadie returns, he is unhappy to learn that Finn Kelly (Rob Mills), who had poisoned Nell two years earlier, is now living with the Kennedys, and that Imogen Willis (Ariel Kaplan) has been defending him.

She reveals to Toadie that she has been living in Byron Bay and had been targeted by a criminal group called the Zantucks who mistook her for Andrea and tampered with their wedding car.

He informs Finn, who attacks him, reveals that he attempted to kill Bea as he did not want a relationship with her anymore, and pushes Toadie out to sea after puncturing the bottom of the dinghy and placing his body in it.

However, within two years, Mel has left Toadie and fled Erinsborough, after which he discovers a surprising romantic connection with his long-time neighbour Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), who has also split up with Paul.

Nell, having recently begun a relationship with JJ Varga-Murphy (Riley Bryant), objects to his plans, but after Toadie explains his fears of her repeating Sonya's mistakes she relents and agrees to move with the family.

Toadie celebrates Nell's birthday at Terese's house with Hugo, before he receives a call from the Erinsborough city council that they will not be renewing the building for the Sonya Rebecchi foundation.

Since 1995 he's been a great comrade and a veritable rock to Bill, to Joel, to Sarah, to Amy, to Lance, to Drew ... Toadie has been the very incarnation of the listening ear and the supportive hand.

They concluded "as for Toadie, his luck when it came to weddings never did get any better…"[70] In 2010, to celebrate Neighbours' 25th anniversary Sky, a British satellite broadcasting company profiled 25 characters of which they believed were the most memorable in the series' history.

After all, he entered the show as a bad influence on pretty boy Billy Kennedy, and there was that weird period when he ran a bikini store, Bounce, with House of Trouser co-member Connor.

There's something a little Ian Beale about the character – he's slightly annoying, it's difficult to care about his plots and you dread the day he's going to attempt a sex scene, but the show just wouldn't work without him.

[74] Journalist Adam Beresford described him as an "Aussie everyman" with a "disastrous" love life; adding he is a "prime example" of the joy long-term featured characters give viewers.

[75] Toadie was placed first in a poll ran via soap fansite "Back To The Bay", which asked readers to determine the top ten most popular Neighbours characters.
