His wife Sonya, proprietress of a new age type garden centre, was bitten by a Redback Spider.
In God's Own Oz that is generally the equivalent of catching the Black Plague in mid 14th century Europe.
You number is up
Fortunately, Ramsay Street residents have Dr. Karl on the doorstep and he just happens to carry the antidote around in his magic bag so Sonya was saved.
Oh how our ancestors could have used Dr. Karl when the Bkack Death was in full swing.
But Sonya needs rest......so she can't earn any dough for a few weeks.
And the wheelchair bound Toadie has lost a lot of business due to his own travails......so a cash flow problem has ensued in the Rebecci household.
Not to worry, says The Toadster.......we have the "emergency fund" to tide us over.
This is five thousand bucks raised at a benefit do the Neighbours held for him at the Water Hole last week.
But when Toadfush went to the cashbox where money was kept, the box was like Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard.
It was bare
Suspicion has fallen on the new Homehelp that the Aussie NHS sent out to do their housework but I am keeping an open mind.
I think it is Paul Robinson's son in law wot stole the dough
The bugger.
So that's the way it was left at the Rebecci household a week ago......I am 8 episodes behind.
In other developments Paul's umpteenth fiancé has shot through.......to Los Angeles no less.
To her dream job as PR to the WWF (yes.....she is a big wrestling fan
)She read about this job one morning on the Internet.....filled in an online application......had an interview via Skype that very same day.....and was told she had the job and needed to be on the plane to SoCal the very next morning.
And the company sent a chauffeur driven stretch limo to take her to the airport.
Farewell then, Naomi.......a heartbroken Paul watched from his driveway as she ride off into the sunset.
And as if all this drama wasn't enough, Steph Scully rides into Erinsborough all leathered up and riding a beast of a Suzuki, having spent the last lot of years in Wentworth.
So goodness knows what is to happen next
Them Scandi dramas so beloved of the TV snobs......they ain't got nowt on Neighbours
#prayersforToadie
reminiscent of Jim Robinson's death.
Hmm, Steph Scully back, might have to have a look.
