Eve Morey (Sonya Rebecchi)

[Perdita]

Neighbours schemer Naomi Canning will face a big backlash next month after she finally makes a move on Toadie Rebecchi.

After weeks of harbouring secret feelings for Toadie, smitten Naomi (Morgana O'Reilly) decides to make her move while his wife Sonya is away for a few days.

As Naomi continues to ingratiate herself into Toadie's life, she shares a dinner with him at Number 30 and sparks fly after conversation turns to their shared passion of wrestling.

When Naomi shows Toadie (Ryan Moloney) how to get out of one particular wrestling move, she ends up landing on top of him and can't resist seizing the moment by leaning in for a kiss.

Toadie will be rocked by Naomi's behaviour and quickly tells her mother Sheila what happened, leaving Sheila deeply disappointed in her wayward daughter.

As a huge row follows, harsh words are exchanged and long-held animosity is exposed as Sheila claims that Naomi's selfish behaviour led to her own father's fatal heart attack five years ago.

Along with Sheila's outburst, Naomi also has to deal with a furious response from Sonya, who is told everything by Toadie when she returns from her extended spa break.

A Neighbours source told Digital Spy: "Sonya is frosty when she sees Naomi, so Naomi goes on the defensive by claiming that Sonya only has herself to blame for her marriage problems. This doesn't go down well with Sonya, who slaps her right across the face!"

Neighbours' Sonya Rebecchi will lose her temper and slap Naomi Canning later this month after discovering that she tried to kiss her husband Toadie.

As previously reported, Naomi (Morgana O'Reilly) will make a move on Toadie while Sonya is away, having had secret feelings for him for some time.

When Sonya (Eve Morey) returns from her time away feeling refreshed and determined to make more of an effort with their marriage, Toadie is left feeling guilty over recent events and is forced to tell his wife the truth.

Sonya is left stunned by Naomi's deception, but after discussing it with Toadie, the pair become more disconnected than ever.

Later, Sonya runs into Naomi who attempts to justify her devious actions but Sonya dismisses her, maintaining that there can be no justification for what she has done.

However, Naomi immediately goes on the defensive by claiming that Sonya only has herself to blame for her marriage problems.

After Naomi suggests that if Sonya hadn't been such a good Samaritan then Toadie wouldn't have needed to look elsewhere, Sonya is left enraged and slaps Naomi...

Eve is expecting her first child. Wonder if her pregnancy will be written into the show or will they just hide her bump.

Congratulations Eve
I wonder how they will write her out during her maternity leave?
Hiding her pregnancy will be easy enough with the bell tent dresses the wardrobe department have her wear.

[Perdita]

Neighbours star Eve Morey has confirmed that her real-life pregnancy won't be written into her character Sonya Rebecchi's storylines.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that the actress is expecting her first child with her long-term partner.

Speaking of the impact of her pregnancy on Neighbours, Morey told Soap Extra: "It's going to be hidden, which hasn't been too bad as Sonya is a character who wears flowy clothes.

"There will just be a lot of close-ups and me hiding with a bag - apparently I have quite good bag skills!"

Morey, who recently became engaged to her partner, also revealed that she is expecting a girl.

She explained: "My partner and I would've been over the moon with either a boy or a girl. But at the same time, I've had Scarlett [Anderson] playing my daughter on the show and I feel like I've had a little bit of experience with girls, which is probably a good thing!"

Discussing her wedding plans, the soap star added: "When the baby can walk down the aisle, we might get round to it. I'm happy to wait because I want to be able to enjoy it and celebrate and have a wine!"

Morey has played the role of Sonya since 2009.

Who's terrorising Sonya?
The Rebecchi's domestic bliss is shattered when Sonya becomes the victim of a vicious smear campaign.

Sonya is a bundle of nerves, on Neighbours, as she's targeted by an anonymous enemy. Sonya and Toadie are currently enduring a transition period in their lives. Now that Callum has departed and with Nell being too young to know much about what's going on, the Rebecchi household now boasts a far more adult-friendly environment.

Embracing their change in circumstances, Sonya (Eve Morey) convinces Toadie (Ryan Moloney) to try something novel - walking around the house naked. Although their exploits eventually bring them in contact with Toadie's law client, a naturist who ropes the couple into attending a naturist's lunch, their happiness and ease at wriggling out of the unfortunate episode with Toadie's professional reputation still intact is soon cruelly interrupted. Opening his mail, Toadie is horrified to receive a vicious letter from an anonymous sender warning him that Sonya isn't the person he believes her to be.

Desperate not to jeopardise his wife's always-tenuous mental health, Toadie investigates the incident without Sonya's knowledge. After some initial digging, Toadie is left frustrated to draw dead ends when he must discount Naomi (Morgana O'Reilly), Sonya's late-paying nursey clients and her Gamblers' Anonymous associates as possible clulprits. The situation worsens when Toadie receives more hate mail on Halloween but hs efforts at reopening his GA line of enquires become even more twisted when Sonya's good friend Brennan is also a recipient of the poison pen missivies.

Toadie's next move is to phone Sonya's sister Jade to see if she can offer any clues about someone linked to Sonya's unsavoury past. When this avenue again leads to nothing, a nervous Toadie finally decides to tell his wife the horrible truth. Completely shattered that an unseen and unknown enemy is targeting her, Sonya's paranoia consumes her to the point that she imprisons herself inside her locked hom as Halloween night descends on the neighbourhood.

Days later, a stunning new theory as to the peroetrator's identity presents itself when Toadie's involvement in Josh's (Harley Bonner) trial for assaulting Chris (James Mason) results in Patricia Pappas (Katerina Kotsonis) brutally berating the laywer for helping the criminal who hurt her son. Given Patrica's past links with Sonya through GA, Brennan begins considering that the recovering addict could be holding a grudge against the woman who tried to help her.

When the trauma continues with every Ramsay Street resident receiving hate mail against Sonya, Mrs Rebecchi begins her own investigation into Patricia's possible involvement. While attending a GA meeting, Sonya's emotions shatter and she runs from the meeting in tears, unable to handle the harsh fact that someone wants to rip her life to shreds!

Neighbours bosses are lining up another frightening ordeal for Sonya Rebecchi as she will soon become the victim of a shock smear campaign.

The storyline begins when Sonya's husband Toadie (Ryan Moloney) receives an anonymous letter which contains damaging insinuations regarding his wife.

Toadie is shocked as the spiteful note warns that Sonya (Eve Morey) isn't who she says she is. Determined to find out who the mystery sender is, Toadie immediately launches his own investigation without telling Sonya what has happened.

After ruling out mischievous Naomi Canning as the culprit, Toadie starts to wonder whether someone from Sonya's gamblers' anonymous meetings could hold a grudge against her.

Another theory is that somebody from Sonya's dodgy past could have come back to haunt her.

When more hate mail turns up and Sonya's friend Mark Brennan (Scott McGregor) also receives a nasty letter about her, Toadie realises that it's time to come clean and reluctantly informs Sonya of the situation.

Sonya is horrified when she learns that she is being targeted and starts fearing for her own safety, opting to stay home on Halloween rather than take her young daughter Nell trick or treating.

As the days continue, Toadie and Mark both continue to support Sonya, and a new suspect presents herself when Mark starts to think the worst of Chris Pappas's mother Patricia.

Patricia isn't happy with the Rebecchis due to Toadie's decision to represent Josh Willis in court following his attack on Chris, but the mystery continues as there is still no firm evidence linking her to the poison pen letters.

As the situation escalates, every single family on Ramsay Street receives hate mail about Sonya and the pressure starts to take its toll on the Rebecchis as they live in fear of their unknown enemy's next move.

I'm thinking it's Chris's mother.

Sonya's dark secret
Will she be pushed back to the bottle?

One simple, anonymous letter is all it takes for Sonya (Eve Morey) and Toadie's happy existence to start unravelling this week on Neighbours.

"Poor Sonya just can't quite escape her past," Eve, 31, tells Soap Extra. "We've already seen quite a lot of it but this is really going into dark territory."

After Toadie (Ryan Moloney) receives a mystery letter detailing Sonya's dodgy past, he becomes unsettled by the idea of someone trying to intimidate his young family.

Wanting to sheild Sonya from any pain or suffering, he decides to enlist the help of Brennan (Scott McGregor) to expose the culprit without her being any wiser.

"Brennan and Toadie are on the are on the case trying to work out what's going on," Eve says. "It's drip-fed harassment and it's stressful.

After considering Naomi (Morgana O'Reilly) as a plausible suspect, Toadie and Brennan soon dismiss the idea. Brennan tries to convince Toadie to tell Sonya what's been going on but hoping it's all just a prank, Toadie decides to keep her out of it... for now.

However, the letters keep appearing - and soon enough, one ends up directly addressed to Brennan. When Sonya almost catches Brennan reading it, he cleverly covers his tracks.

Meanwhile, the super-sleuth duo continue their search for answers, deciding the person behind the letters must be someone from Sonya's Gamblers Anonymous group. They approach an old GA convenor but he refuses to discuss any former members. Yep, the group's got 'anonymous' in it's title for a reason!

"Sonya would be totally devastated if it was someone from her GA group because they provide so much support to her," Eve explains. "It's her sanctuary."

While the boys keep the truth hidden, events come to a head when Brennan receives his own hate mail. Not surprisingly, Sonya is rocked by the devastating news.

"As the story arc builds, you see Sonya get increasingly stressed and worried," Eve admits. "She has absolutely no idea who could be behind the harassment."

Sonya's fears intensify on Halloween night and she cancels her plans to go out, feeling it's safer to simply stay at home.

"We haven't really seen Sonya get to a point where she's going to pick up a bottle of wine but she's close now, really close," Eve reveals of her distressed character. "She's teetering on the brink.

Who could be behind these devastating letters and for what purpose? Worse still, what else do they have in store for Sonya?
