Toby Mangel is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Ben Geurens.
[1] Geurens said it was an "amazing feeling" to be cast and added "I remember walking onto the set on the first day to start work but it's hard to take everything in when you're a kid.
Toby's cousin Jane Harris (Annie Jones) soon takes him under her wing and helps him make friends with Katie Landers (Sally Jensen) from across the street.
When Noeline and Ted arrive to collect Toby after Christmas, he is reluctant to leave and Joe has warmed to the idea of being a dad again.
When Joe becomes engaged to Kerry Bishop (Linda Hartley), Toby struggles to accept it at first but eventually comes round and serves as pageboy at their wedding.
When Noeline is run over and killed by a car, Toby returns to Erinsborough, withdrawn and moody and begins bedwetting and sleepwalking.
He lashes out at Tiffany "Lochy" McLachlan (Amber Kilpatrick) and smashes the gift he made Noeline for mother's day while visiting her grave.
[1] During his feature on Neighbours, Graeme Whitfield from The Journal stated "There was also a hero for our times in the shape of Toby Mangel, played with utter star quality by Finn Greentree-Keane from 1988 to 1990 and then, unbelievably, his even better replacement Ben Geurens from 1990 to 1993.
