Willow (Mieke Billing-Smith). Toadie bonds with Willow and helps her gain entry to a private school. He struggles with his feelings for Dee, and Sonya's closeness with Mark. Toadie hands over a bankers draft for $100,000 to Andrea, and he later finds that she and Willow have left town for London. With Sonya's blessing, Toadie goes to London to find them. When Toadie calls home, Nell answers the phone and tells him Sonya is in bed with Mark. He assumes that Sonya has cheated on him and confronts her during a video call. He fails to close the call properly, and when Andrea comes to his room to talk, Sonya sees them have sex. While Andrea is in the shower, Toadie finds her passport with her real name on it.

Toadie visits Andrea, who is delusional and believes she is Dee. Sonya commits to raising Hugo and the Rebecchis agree to pay for Andrea's care on the condition she has no contact with them. Toadie and Sonya struggle to raise Nell and Hugo alongside running their businesses and hire
Alice Wells (
Kerry Armstrong) as their live-in nanny. Sonya begins behaving strangely and Toadie worries that she may have relapsed. She later disappears, but it conspires that Alice – whose real name is Heather Schilling and is Andrea's biological mother – has been drugging Sonya with strong painkillers and has poisoned her. With the help of Willow, Toadie finds Sonya at the roadside and rushes her to hospital. Sonya is discharged but remains in pain for several weeks. She collapses and tests reveal she has stage four
ovarian cancer. Toadie is devastated and supports his wife as she begins intensive chemotherapy. Sonya visits Andrea and convinces her to give Toadie full custody of Hugo. Sonya's cancer becomes public knowledge and both Callum and Jade return to Erinsborough to support the family. However, Sonya's health deteriorates rapidly and she dies in Toadie's arms during a visit to the beach. After Sonya's memorial, Toadie decides to take Nell and Hugo overseas, staying close to Callum as they work through their grief. When Toadie returns, he is unhappy to learn that

A few months later, he discovers that Andrea believes that Dee may still be alive. After reluctantly accepting offers from Karl to put Andrea and Heather under hypnosis, he decides to try and track down a "Karen" whom they claim to be Dee. Dee later returns to
Ramsay Street after Andrea attempts to kill her and she is rescued by Heather. She reveals to Toadie that she has been living in
Byron Bay and had been targeted by a criminal group called the Zantucks who mistook her for Andrea and tampered with their wedding car. It is later revealed that Dee was adopted, and is Andrea's twin and Heather's daughter. After realising it is too soon to move on from Sonya, he and Dee say their goodbyes. Toadie later helps his niece
Kirsha Rebecchi (Vani Dhir) as she applies to attend a special school in Sydney. This angers Shane and his wife
Dipi (Sharon Johal) but they later reconcile. The following year, Toadie struggles as Sonya's first anniversary is approaching, unsure of how to commemorate her. When
Roxy Willis (Zima Anderson) inadvertently wears Sonya's wedding dress to the Lassiter's Wedding Expo, he lashes out at her though later apologises. Sometime later, he agrees to accompany Finn to
Pierce Greyson's (
Tim Robards) island for
Elly Conway's (
Jodi Anasta) birthday celebrations. Toadie is stunned when Finn tells her that Elly's sister
Bea Nilsson (
Bonnie Anderson) has returned to Sydney on the islanders' dinghy. As he prepares to leave, he discovers the dinghy hidden in some bushes. He informs Finn, who attacks him, reveals that he attempted to kill Bea as he did not want a relationship with her anymore, and pushes Toadie out to sea after puncturing the bottom of the dinghy and placing his body in it. Paul later rescues Toadie, and they are briefly held hostage by
Harry Sinclair (
Paul Dawber). After learning what Finn did to Toadie and spotting the island on fire, Harry allows him and Paul to go to the island and rescue the others on the island. Dee later returns to Ramsay Street after Andrea insists on meeting with her again. She and Toadie decide to recommence their relationship. However, Elly, who has been wrongly imprisoned for killing Finn and is Andrea's cellmate, warns them that Andrea is attempting to gain custody of Hugo by connecting with Dee. Dee supports Toadie as he attempts to appeal Elly's sentence. However, their relationship falls apart after Dee decides to connect with Heather despite Toadie's warnings and Toadie refusing to allow it. They later break up. On another visit to the prison, Andrea and
Owen Campbell (
Johnny Ruffo) drug and attack Dee, allowing for Andrea to escape and kidnap Hugo pretending to be Dee. Heather later traps Andrea at Erinsborough High, and she is arrested. Although grateful towards Heather for helping him, Toadie remains angry at her and Dee for being part of the reason Andrea escaped and, despite Shane and Dipi attempting to convince him to talk to her, he refuses to see Dee. A private investigator tracks down Dee's biological father Peter Wilson, who is living in Alaska, and Toadie informs Dee of Peter's whereabouts and that he has lung cancer. With Heather having a prison transfer due to Toadie and Andrea's anger at her, Dee decides to leave and meet Peter in Alaska after reconciling with Toadie. Toadie begins a casual relationship with his personal assistant,
Melanie Pearson (
Lucinda Cowden), which later becomes serious, and the two ultimately marry. The couple plan to leave Ramsay Street after their wedding, but are convinced to stay by a series of video messages from past residents of the street. However, within two years, Mel has left Toadie and fled Erinsborough, after which he discovers a surprising romantic connection with his long-time neighbour
Terese Willis (
Rebekah Elmaloglou), who has also split up with Paul. Ignoring concerns that they are rushing their relationship, Terese and Toadie quickly marry, and Toadie moves into Terese's family home with Nell and Hugo. Two months after the wedding, Mel returns and reveals that she abandoned the family due to her becoming embroiled in blackmail threats and ultimately the apparent death of
Krista Sinclair (Majella Davis), while Paul jilted Terese due to the same circumstances. Although Toadie initially remains determined to move on with Terese, the marriage is destabilised by the revelations and Toadie eventually has sex with Mel. When Terese discovers his betrayal, she ends the relationship but later agrees to work on their marriage. Toadie experiences a series of reminders of Dee and Sonya, leaving him confused about his relationship history. He confides in Karl but refuses to tell Terese, resulting in moments of anger towards her. After an aggressive outburst towards Terese, Toadie impulsively pursues
Heath Royce (
Ethan Panizza) with Mel when he hears that Heath may present a danger towards Karl's daughter,
Holly Hoyland (
Lucinda Armstrong Hall). Toadie and Mel are kidnapped and transported to the Outback, where Holly finds and frees them. Toadie looks for help and is separated from Mel and Holly. He eventually collapses onto a set of train tracks as night falls, experiencing visions of his former wives as he loses consciousness. He is rescued the following day, and after returning home ends his relationship with Terese. Experiencing how difficult Terese finds being around him in the wake of their separation, Toadie decides it is best for everyone if he moves closer to his family in Colac. Nell, having recently begun a relationship with
JJ Varga-Murphy (Riley Bryant), objects to his plans, but after Toadie explains his fears of her repeating Sonya's mistakes she relents and agrees to move with the family. Terese declines to attend Toadie's leaving party, but ultimately relents and wishes him well before he leaves with Nell and Hugo. Several months later, Toadie returns to Erinsborough and meets Terese at Harolds cafe, where he reveals that his father had been diagnosed with cancer and only has a few months left. He later spots Nell in the complex, who is visiting JJ behind his back. Toadie finds out about Terese's recent relapse, and that she convinced Nell to hide it. He asks Susan if Nell can live with her and Karl for a while. Toadie explains to Nell that she can move back to Erinsborough for a while during big Kev's cancer, but will not be able to live with Terese. Toadie and Paul help Terese convince the residents of Eirene Rising to allow her to come back and work there, and they manage to convince them to reinstall her as manager. Toadie celebrates Nell's birthday at Terese's house with Hugo, before he receives a call from the Erinsborough city council that they will not be renewing the building for the Sonya Rebecchi foundation. Paul allows them to move the foundation to Lassitters. Toadie ultimately allows Nell to move in with Terese, and he leaves Erinsborough with Hugo. Toadie later returns and Terese asks if Paul can move in with her and Nell, but he is firmly against the idea. He later warms to it, instead allowing Nell and Terese to move into Paul's penthouse. He attends Nell's art exhibition in the Lassiters complex and Krista and
Leo Tanaka's (
Tim Kano) wedding, where he catches up with Melanie. He later returns again after Nell reveals she accidentally killed
Sebastian Metcalfe (Rarmian Newton), and makes sure she is ok. Months later, he again returns to Erinsborough for the farewell party of
Aaron Brennan (Matt Wilson) and
Rhett Norman (Liam Maguire). Terese vents to him about her concerns over
Elle Robinson's (Elise Jansen) return to the street. ==Reception==
