Sonya to make home on Ramsay Street
Neighbours dog trainer Sonya Mitchell has been upgraded to a regular character.
Sonya, played by Eve Morey, will reunite with Toadie (Ryan Moloney) and make a more permanent home on Ramsay Street when his sham marriage is blown, according to fansite The Perfect Blend.
The pair are smitten with each other, but Toadie put his feelings aside to help cover up the fact that pal Steph Scully (Carla Bonner) was expecting Dan Fitzgerald's baby.
Meanwhile, fans will see Libby Kennedy's son Ben Fitzgerald (Blake O'Leary) leave the street to join a school for the gifted.
A Channel Five source said: "The Ben character is younger than the other main kids, Sophie and Callum. They are now in high school, but Ben is still in junior school, so it was tricky to come up with storylines which involve all the kids."
'Neighbours' Toadie 'shouldn't marry again'
Ryan Moloney has claimed that his Neighbours character Toadie Rebecchi should never marry girlfriend Sonya Mitchell.
The pair have been an item on screen for some time, but in an interview with Holy Soap, Moloney claimed that the disastrous weddings from Toadie's past should discourage him from tying the knot with Sonya.
Asked whether he would like to hear wedding bells for the couple, the actor replied: "I don't think Toadie should ever get married again. He drove his first wife off a cliff, he then went to get married again and realised she didn't love him the way that he wanted.
"The third marriage was a sham, so for Toadie marriage should be left alone."
Moloney also admitted that he is unsure about whether the pair should have children together, as recently suggested by Eve Morey, who plays Sonya.
He said: "Having a baby is a really good storyline, but the reality of it is that once they've gone past one year old, they are hard to work with after that. The idea sounds all right, but I'm hesitant about it."
Moloney also discussed the the forthcoming arrival of Callum Jones's father Troy Miller, confirming that the story will have a "dramatic" but "happy" ending.
