Ryan Moloney As Jarrod "Toadfish" Rebecchi
Toadie is the secret genius who covered his childhood boredom with comedy. It’s no surprise he bonded so instantly with adopted son Callum.
A sports loving larrikin with a huge heart, he loathes pretension. Toadie likes helping people and would give a mate the shirt off his back, hence his career as a suburban lawyer. Although he’s flirted with bigger law firms before, Toadie senses he might not be cut-throat enough to make it in the corporate world. He owes a huge personal debt to Karl and Susan who took him in when he was a wild and wayward teen and supported him to find his way in the world. The law appeals to Toad as a way to speak up for those in need: advocacy is his thing. A typical bloke, he likes to fix things.
Toadie would solve all problems with laughter if he could. A resilient self-deprecating sense of humour has often been his only comfort in tough times. He loves a practical joke but is quick to laugh first at his own expense. He’s a natural diplomat and peacemaker. He embodies the principle that you only get out of life what you put in. To this end he will compromise his own happiness for the greater good.
Toadie lives for family and community - it’s where he draws his strength. If they’re happy, he’s happy.
After some false starts and broken hearts on the romance front, Toadie is finally living the Aussie dream with a beautiful home and family. The recent addition of Nell to the Rebecchi brood has brought him and Sonya even closer together.
