Neighbours - Toadie Rebecchi will be left facing a very uncertain future after a freak accident on a bouncy castle leaves him paralysed.

The tragedy happens as Toadie and Sonya are making plans to reignite the spark in their marriage while attending an open day event organised by Naomi Canning.

Distracted while discussing their plans for an evening alone, the couple soon realise they have lost sight of their daughter Nell just as the bouncy castle starts to move in the wind, having not been properly secured to the ground.

Believing Nell could be trapped in the castle, Toadie jumps inside in order to hold it down, but when it bucks off the ground again, Toadie falls off and is knocked unconscious.

When Toadie wakes up in hospital, the relief of his loved ones is short-lived, as he is forced to confess that he can no longer feel his legs.

Subsequent test results reveal that Toadie's accident has aggravated his old bullet wound, which he sustained when he was shot by Guy Sykes in 2006.

To make matters more uncertain, doctors are unsure whether the bullet is still lodged inside Toadie and has caused more damage, or if the swelling he suffered is pinching some nerves. One potential outcome is permanent, while the other would resolve itself in time.

Although Toadie and Sonya face an anxious wait to find out whether he'll ever walk again, they are forced to come to terms with the fact he is paralysed for the time being at least, and their life will never be the same again. What does the future hold for the Rebecchi clan?
