22 June 2008: Toadie Rebecchi

Smurfy: Five years on, Toadie has left the law behind and is now a lifestyle guru. After the collapse of his engagement to Steph he decided it was time to find a new woman with no preconceptions of him and, realising the ‘cuddly loveable Toad’ image was doing him no favours, he ditched the pizzas and beer in favour of adzuki beans and pomegranate juice. Toadie loses three stone in as many months, and while he doesn’t find love, he does find a new career as a healthy eating adviser on Radio Erinsborough. Over the next year Toadie develops a real following throughout Melbourne, and Melody Jones signs him up to write a recipe book, which proves to be a smash. After three years Toadie sells his share in Rebecchi Cammeniti to a newly qualified Rebecca Napier and becomes a full-time author and public speaker. He can’t believe his luck when his sexy new PA Chelsea falls for him, and proposes within six months. However, when Chelsea starts planning a lavish wedding and talking about going global and a move to New York, Toadie wonders if she’s only interested in a swanky lifestyle. At their engagement party, Toadie catches a sad Steph’s eye, and as the pair pour their hearts out at Lassiter’s lake, Steph admits losing him is her biggest regret. Toadie finally realises that Steph does and always did genuinely love him, and five years to the day from their original wedding, the pair elope – together at last.

Edmundo: Five years on and Toadie is enjoying life with Steph again. However, still not married, Toadie continued to have doubts over Steph's love for him. But when Steph fell pregnant with Toadie's child, it ended his doubts over Steph's commitment. Steph gave birth to identical twins called Hillary and Maude. Along with Charlie, the 5 still live at No. 32 and are having a super time. Furthermore, Steph has decided that although she doesn't ever want to marry Toadie she will take his name and is now known as Stephanie Rebecchi-Scully.

David1979: Toadie gave up law in 2009 and became the presenter of his own children's TV gameshow called "Pond Scum Frenzy". He loves his stress free job chucking buckets of gunge over kids and using his fame, he set up his own youth group charity which helps disadvantaged kids through the use of novelty aquatic nicknames. In 2012 Steph finally realised her love for Toadie when Charlie nearly drowned trying to recreate one of Toadie's zany games. Toadie saved him at the last minute and Steph proposed on the spot. The couple married and had septuplets in 2013.

08 June 2008: Miranda Parker

Smurfy: Five years on, Miranda has been to hell and back. When No.26 burnt to the ground, killing both Riley and Bridget, Miranda suffered a severe nervous breakdown and spent many months in an institution. Her marriage to Steve, who felt his own grief was being ignored, almost collapsed, but the pair eventually reconciled; however, the couple's age and Miranda's history of psychiatric problems makes it hard for them to adopt again. In an attempt to cope with her grief, Miranda devoties her time to volunteering in in a children's home, and befriends a troubled teen, Lexi. When Lexi discovers she's pregnant at 14, she begs Miranda to help her get an abortion - but an unbalanced Miranda comes up with another, much riskier plot that could solve both their problems. Desperate to be a mum again, Miranda offers Lexi a temporary home at No.26 - with $20,000 to follow if she lets the baby stay permanently...

Malm: Five years on and Miranda is a mother again. Sadly, it took the untimely deaths of Riley and his fiancee Heather to provide this after they were nibbled by sharks whilst on a surfing trip. Miranda was looking after little Winston and Didge-Elle when the tragic incident occurred. Now Miranda and Steve have full custody as Heather's parents joined a cult in 2010 where they took a full vow of silence and were therefore unable to respond to the phonecalls. Miranda is also managing director of Circle of Mother Baked Goods, developed from the coffee mornings she set up with good friends Susan and Rebecca. They still meet up for cake when their schedules permit.

David1979: Miranda went from a part time job removing obscenities from lockers at Erinsborough High School to setting up her own cleaning business empire. Over the next five years Mrs Parker secured contracts with Lassiter's hotel, Charlie's bar and The General Store chain and employed many of Ramsay Street's residents as an army of champion bog scrubbers. Declan, Bridget, Ringo, Rachel and Zeke all enjoyed their pocket money jobs so much, they never bothered with uni, and all love their matching boilersuits so much, they rarely bother to change out of them. Miranda is a great boss as she gives all her employees homemade cakes while they mop. They are all fat and happy.

11 May 2008: Rebecca Napier

Smurfy: Following Richard's death, Rebecca decided to take something positive from her experiences with him, and after earning praise at Rebecchi Cammeniti for her sensitive approach to a battered wife seeking a divorce, she began making plans to open and run a women's refuge. Paul was only too happy to help fund the refuge through the Helen Daniels Foundation, and over the next three years Rebecca opened three further refuges across Melbourne. Despite having a strong relationship, Paul and Rebecca decided not to rush into marriage following his previous experiences. However, when Rebecca unexpectedly found herself pregnant the pair changed their minds, and married in 2011 in a double ceremony with a reunited Elle and Oliver. A happy Rebecca now splits her time between the refuges and caring for 18-month old daughter Helen.

Edmundo: Rebecca finally had some hope that she could live a happy life once Richard died. She was happy with Paul, and enjoyed spending time with her newly found son, Oliver and her grand-daughter, Chloe. But things would take a turn for the worse soon enough. Paul soon returned to his bad ways and couldn't resist the temptations of other women. Rebecca was completely unaware of Paul's betrayal, but when she proposed to Paul, he couldn't say yes, having known how he'd betrayed her. Paul came clean and Rebecca was heartbroken. Determined not to let Paul get to her, Rebecca valiently continued to live in Erinsborough, continuing her duties of care towards Chloe and still finding time to see her friends. 5 years on and still suffering from the pain Richard and Paul have caused her, Rebecca realises she doesn't need a man to make her happy. She's proud of her independance and that's the way things shall be from now on. Paul, however is still keen. At Declan and Bridget's wedding Paul and Rebecca get chatting. But Paul's wrongly led to believe he still has a chance with Rebecca. He seizes the moment and proposes and is stunned when Rebecca flatly refuses. As far as Rebecca is concerned she doesn't need Paul. She's happy with her life now - As Rebecca Napier.

David1979: By 2013 Rebecca had well and truly moved on from Paul who was now married to Gail again. Rebecca had quit her job at Rebecchi Cammeniti in 2008 after their refusal to let her do all the cases, so she decided to open a fashion house designing her own amazing frocks under the name 'Red Detail'. Rebecca not only designed, sewed and sold all the outfits, she also modelled them all and became a huge catwalk star due to her amazing faces. After a brief affair with a drug addled pop star, Rebecca dropped fashion and settled back down in Erinsborough with Fitzy and wrote her own cookbook called 'Lickin' The Cake'.

27 April 2008: Susan Kinski

Smurfy: Five years on, Susan appears to be in much better health. While Rachel and Zeke have left home for university, Susan and Karl still have Libby - now separated from Darren for good - and Ben for company. But while life seems good, Susan has a secret; her symptoms are coming back. When Libby sees her drop a cup, Susan dismisses it as clumsiness, but when Ben innocently remarks that it's the second time she's done it today, Libby is suspicious. Susan admits that she fears her MS is worsening, and with Libby's persuasion agrees to go back to her specialist. The next day Libby is worried to see Susan's car gone, considering the way her MS has affected her driving in the past. When a policewoman arrives at the door with news of an accident, Libby panics that her mother has been killed. It's then that the officer explains it's actually Karl who has been involved in the accident - and he's dead. How will an already ill Susan survive the loss of her beloved husband?

Edmundo: Five years on and Susan's MS still continues to hamper her everyday life. However, after a period of around 12 months without any symptoms at all, the disease struck back the previous year leaving poor Susan in a wheelchair. Karl struggles to juggle his career and his care for Susan, who clearly needs more help now. For Susan, she's devastated to learn her teaching career is all but over and will unlikely be able to ever go back to work. Rachel and Zeke have gone off to University, while Libby is far too busy to help following the birth of her second child, with her new partner. As things begin to take their toll on Karl, he's delighted when Billy and Anne return, along with young Jackson. Unfortunately, Billy's hours at work have been cut back and with Anne expecting their second child together, Billy returns to Ramsay Street in the hope of finding a better job and in the hope his parents may offer him a small loan to help him out. Billy and Anne's return gives Susan a huge boost and she soon begins to feel better about herself. A few weeks later and Anne gives birth to another baby boy and they name him Osmond. Susan is so proud to become a Grandmother again and she's absolutely thrilled to learn that Billy and Anne will be sticking around for a bit longer. And the good news continues when Susan regains the use of her legs, meaning she'll be out of the wheelchair and could possibly return to teaching!

Malm: Five years on, Susan is doing well. Two years ago she had a very bad spell after collapsing at Katya and Paul's wedding. Her health took a turn for the worse after learning that Katya and Paul had been involved in a terrible accident on their honeymoon when someone mistook them for firewood and threw them on a bonfire. Devastated Susan had to take 12 months off work but now she's back teaching part-time and running a homework club after school with Libby, who is married to Fitzy now, but still refuses to change her name. Rachel is in India on a year long stint working for charity and Zeke is at Eden Hills Uni studying medicine after being inspired by the work Karl has done over the last few years. He still lives with Karl and Susan who have also welcomed Zeke's fiancee Taylah and their baby boy Alex. Susan's health worries have also prompted Billy and Anne to move closer to home with their children Jackson and Janet. Mal and Catherine plan to move as soon as Catherine is released from prison after she tried to strangle Rachel on a visit last summer. No one blamed her as she was whining a lot. Susan has also started up a social group with Rebecca and Miranda for working mothers who need a break from childcare and work. The Circle of Mothers meet every last Thursday of the month for cake.

13 April 2008: Carmella Cammeniti

Smurfy: Five years on, Carmella and Marco are happily married and celebrating the birth of a son, Lucio. Oliver now lives in Sydney, but he and Carmella have made their peace and he's a good dad to daughter Elissa. However, as Celestial Fruits continues to thrive Marco neglects his family in favour of work. At the same time, Carmella begins receiving gifts and anonymous love letters which she suspects are from Oliver, making her question where her feelings lie. When Oliver next visits Elissa, Carmella confronts him, but he's genuinely perplexed. It's only when Carmella shows him the letters that he recognises Will's handwriting! Will arrives days later, begging Carmella for a second chance. After sharing a kiss with Will, Carmella confesses all to a furious Marco, who violently attacks Will. The two men insists Carmella chooses between them, but as she watches them fight over her like a possession, she decides she doesn't want either of them. Carmella announces her decision - she's giving up on men altogether and returning to the convent.

Edmundo: Five years on and it's been an eventful life for Carmella. She gave birth to her healthy daughter, Delphina, but tragedy struck soon after when Delphina's Father, Oliver, was hit and killed by a Winnebago. Carmella was grief stricken and the whole tragedy left her current partner, Marco, wondering whether he could support Carmella through her troubling times. Marco left for Italy, leaving Carmella in the lurch with young Delphina. Sister Rosie pleaded with Carmella that chasing after Marco wasn't worth it and reluctantly Carmella agreed and decided it would be best to stay in Ramsay Street to raise Delphina. Ringo was on hand to offer his support to Carmella, but it ended up re-igniting their previous fling. To everyone's surprise, Ringo was great with baby Delphina and it strengthened a confused Carmella's beliefs that she and Ringo would be good together. To Rosie's and Frazer's horror, the pair got together. Over time, Rosie and Frazer and the rest of Ramsay Street adjusted to the new shock couple. However, Ringo then fell for the advances of a beautiful young girl who'd just moved to Erinsborough, named Felisa. Felisa was the same age as Ringo and he soon began cheating on Carmella with her. But there was a huge shock in store when it turned out that Felisa was in fact Marco's sister, Mia's daughter! In Italy Marco had learned of Carmella's relationship with Ringo and sent attractive Felisa over to sabotage the relationship. Marco then returned to Ramsay Street and revealed Ringo's deceit. Carmella was heartbroken and sought comfort in Marco's arms, but how would she react when Marco would tell her that it was he who had been driving the Winnebago the day Oliver died? And that he had orchestrated her and Ringo's breakup...

Malm: Five years on, Carmella is very busy looking after her 4 children, all by different fathers. Chloe, her first born, is a carbon copy of her headstrong mother but is also a daddy's girl and spends many weekends with Oliver and her stepmother Elle. Carmella's second, a boy called Fruitio was born to her and Marco. Sadly, the relationship didn't last and Marco moved to Perth to open a Celestial Fruits superstore but he still sees Fruitio as often as he can. Luckily for Carmella, Ringo was there, again, to help her through the break up. Ringo never really got over his crush on Carmella and was delighted when his feelings were fully reciprocated this time around. However, when Carmella gave birth to their twins, Ringo couldn't cope with the responisiblity and left Ramsay Street to run across Europe to raise money for charity. Devastated, Carmella was left to raise newly born Plum and Celeriac alone. Times were desperate and Carmella almost relapsed when she was tempted to self-medicate again but hope raised its head once more when Marco turned up on her doorstep, begging for another chance...

30 March 2008: Paul Robinson

smurfy: Five years on and life is good for Paul. He and Gail are celebrating the third anniversary of their remarriage, having reunited after Elle narrowly escaped death in a car crash. After initially running Lassiter’s together as they did in the 80s, Paul now runs the hotel alone, as what Gail mistook for the menopause two years earlier turned out to be a baby boy, James. As Paul’s 50th birthday approaches Gail organises a huge surprise party; Rosemary and Lucy fly over from New York, along with Elle and husband Oliver, who now run Lassiter’s New York since Rosemary’s retirement. Old friends such as Des Clarke and Clive Gibbons also appear, plus Shane Ramsay and his wife Rebecca (neé Napier). But the best surprise of all is the arrival of Andrew, who tells his dad he’s finally ready to let bygones be bygones and be part of his life. Choking back tears, Paul raises a glass to his wonderful wife, family and friends.

david1979: By the year 2013 Paul had lost his other leg and both his arms due to a couple of terrible accidents: Andrew Robinson mowed him down with his laser pistol in 2010 and Amy Robinson landed on him with her hover car in 2012. But Paul does fine with his very realistic robotic limbs. After another 16 failed marriages, Paul gave up on the real world and now spends most of his free time in his holographic suite. He's created a programme he calls Neighbours which allows him to relive life on Ramsay Street from 1985 onwards.

Malm: In the last five years, Paul has made even more changes in his life. Inspired by her late husband Oliver's (who sadly died of boredom) search for his real mother, Elle decided to get in contact with her half-brother and sister Andrew and Amy. Paul is now extremely close to his children, with the exception of Robert. He even travelled to London to watch Andrew compete and win a gold medal in sychronised swimming at the 2012 Olympics. Paul even helped choreograph the routine. Paul has given up working for Lassiters and now organises parties for dogs after being invited to Jake's birthday for the last few years, which he enjoys immensely. He is also managing director of Elle's fashion company 'Robinson' which launched in 2009 with the hugely popular 'Steak For Dinner?' t-shirts after she was inspired by her friend Riley's fridge. Sadly Paul and Rebecca have parted ways but remain the best of friends. Rebecca was best woman at his re-marriage to Gail in 2010 which is where she met and fell for Clive Gibbons.

16 March 2008: Stephanie Scully

edmundo: Five years on and Steph is married to Toadie. Now, she's heavily pregnant and Toadie is more than excited about becoming a Dad for the first time. It had been a long, gruelling journey into Steph's second pregnancy as she had been told that her treatment for Cancer years earlier may have made her infertile. However, like most Neighbours pregnancies, Steph eventually overcame the hurdles and is now 8 months gone, expecting twins! Steph and Toadie have become even closer over the years due to two similar tragedies. All the memories of Dee were dragged up for Toadie again, when 3 years ago they finally (and somehow) found her body. It gave Toadie the perfect opportunity to give Dee a proper goodbye and the chance to move on once and for all. As for Steph, she was rocked by the news that Max had died last year after a massive explosion ripped through his oil rig. Both touched by the tragedies it gave Steph and Toadie the chance to cement their relationship.

david1979: In 2009, Councillor Steph Rebecchi courted controversy when she was photographed by journalist Elle Robinson near Lassiter's Lake, a notorious lesbian pick up point. She was in fact kissing her husband Toadie who was trying to spice up their love life by pretending it was 1999. Steph couldn't convince Elle and her "moment of madness" lost her place on the council. With no political image to uphold, Steph was able to do what she'd always dreamed of; turn Charlie's into a sleazy biker bar and strip joint. By 2013 Charlie's had become the most successful business in Lassiter's history. Rachel Kinski and Bridget Parker both dropped out of uni to go full time with their well paid jobs as table dancers, which meant Libby Kennedy could go back to teaching and Steph could concentrate on counting her enormous profits. The only thorn in Steph's side is the prudish moral guardian Paul Robinson who camps outside the bar every night with a placard saying "NO MORE CHARLIES AT CHARLIE'S!!!".

Edward Skylover: With a successful chain of Charlie’s Bar in the US, the pressure is starting to get to Steph. She couldn’t be happier, however, as she’s with the love of her life, Jarrod. On a trip to the doctors, Steph finds out she’s pregnant. Toadie’s mainly preoccupied at Rebecchi-Cammeniti though, as Rosie has taken some time off to search for her cousin Teresa, who has escaped from mental hospital. As Steph is blissfully happy she tells Toadie to sell his share of Rebecchi-Cammeniti as she wants to support him financially. Surprisingly, Elle Robinson buys his half due to her change of career. Following this decision, Steph proposes to Toadie. He says yes! The only person to object to the wedding is Charlie…
