Melanie Pearson: Last News

There’s no shortage of drama on Amazon Freevee’s Neighbours with Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis), Terese Willis (Rebekah Elamloglou), Toadie Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) and Melanie Pearson (Lucinda Cowden) all competing for each other's hearts. Melanie has been chasing after Toadie since her return, but he’s ‘happily’ married to Terese who still has her eye on Paul and vice versa. It’s a very messy love quadrangle, but what’s more shocking is the chaos that has occurred off-screen too.

Neighbours actor Troy Beckwith has died at the age of 48, with his soap co-stars confirming the sad news on social media.

Since Neighbours ’ return to our screens, the big question on Ramsay Street has been what happened to Melanie Pearson who we last saw tie the knot with Toadie in the soap’s 2022 finale? Although Toadie (Ryan Moloney) has moved on with Terese Willis in Mel’s mysterious absence, fans will finally get some answers as actress Lucinda Cowden makes her highly-anticipated comeback. But the actress isn’t too impressed with the soap’s decision to break-up Mel and Toadie. “I was shocked to my socks when I found out,” Lucinda says.

Neighbours has been missing from our screens for 14 months after its shock axe from Channel 5, but following its return to Amazon - fans have been left confused by the two year jump ahead.The show's return episode was aired on Monday 18 September, and jumped ahead in time from the "final ever" episode of the soap, which aired in July 2022. In one of the early scenes in the new episode, Susan Kennedy references the changes during a conversation with Harold Bishop, who has returned to Ramsay Street.The last time Harold was in town was for the wedding of Toadie Rebecchi and Melanie Pearson, which happened in the final episode.

To the relief of Neighbours fans, Ryan Moloney is returning to the Australian soap as Jarrod 'Toadie' Rebecchi ahead of its upcoming Amazon Freevee reboot - and the long-time star has promised that the new series is just as dramatic as it's always been. Ryan arrived on Ramsay Street in 1995 and stuck with the soap until it was cancelled by its Aussie channel Network 10 last year.Thankfully, Amazon Freevee stepped in and announced that it would be picking up the long-running soap for its streaming site. While Ryan has kept tight-lipped about the details of his comeback, he's teased that fans are in for a shock with the upcoming storylines.
