Eve Morey As Sonya Rebecchi
Sonya’s bright and bubbly persona disguises a dark past and a driving desire for redemption. A former addict, Sonya feels a personal mission to make up for her past mistakes and to help others who are battling similar demons. During her dark period, Sonya gave birth to Callum.
After being bounced around from an aunty to his grandparents, Callum was adopted by Toadie. When Sonya came into their lives she harboured the secret that Callum was her biological child until forced to reveal it when Callum’s life was endangered. It was a long time before Toadie felt he could trust Sonya again but love eventually triumphed and her family provides her a constant reminder of how far she’s come.
Material possessions have never been very important to Sonya. She doesn’t care about big houses or flashy cars, and people who do seem shallow to her. A devout animal lover, Sonya is a vegetarian who also cares deeply about the environment. She is a member of Greenpeace and an avid bike rider who enjoys the fact that it’s a carbon neutral way of getting around.
Sonya’s passionate about her beliefs and although not a confrontational person by nature, is not afraid to stand up for herself and her loved ones. She’s fiercely loyal and values that quality others.
Despite what her warm and open persona would suggest, Sonya is quite a private person and not very comfortable with discussing her past. She’s open-minded and withholds judgement about people until she gets to know them, always remembering that others have sometimes not afforded her the same courtesy.
Overcoming Toadie’s fertility issues, Sonya and Toadie recently welcomed gorgeous baby Nell to their family.
Eve Morey
It was the prompting of Eve Morey’s Year 9 drama teacher to attend an audition that resulted in her first television role and the beginning of her acting career.
“My teacher thought it would be a great experience just to audition so I had no expectations so when I got the role, it was a turning point for me,” said Eve.
Eve spent two years filming the children’s series Pigs Breakfast at Channel Nine in Melbourne and was later accepted into NIDA in 2000 when she completed high school. The Melbourne born actor went onto to perform in a number of theatre productions for Sydney Theatre Company and the Melbourne Theatre Company, as well as television roles in Home & Away and All Saints.
Eve joined the cast of Neighbours in June 2008 as Sonya Mitchell (Sonya Rebbechi), a guide dog puppy trainer who quickly finds romance with Ramsay Street favourite Toadfish played by Ryan Moloney.
As a creative outlet, Eve enjoys framing pictures and objects which are highly sought after by family and friends. She is also a keen traveler and would love pursue theatre in the future.
