By speaking to RadioTimes.com About the upcoming storyline, Elmaloglou and Moloney explained that they expect fans to be a little shocked at first – but that romance will soon settle in for them.

“[There] maybe a little hate mail towards him,” Moloney joked, when asked how they thought fans would react.

Elmaloglou added: “I don’t think it’s going to go very well at first. I had a dream last night that I was faced with a whole bunch of fans of the show who were really upset…

“I think they’re going to be really shocked at first, but we worked really hard to make it real and authentic. These two people are intrinsically in love with each other. We worked really hard to make that happen.

“The feedback we’ve gotten from the cast and crew so far is that it’s really cool. To be completely honest – we have no idea what’s in store – but I have the “Feels like this is going to take longer than expected because we’re doing so much. Good job!”

Moloney joked, “Hey! That’s good, I like working with you.”

Speaking about moving on to a new chapter for Terese, Elmaloglou continued: “I needed a challenge. I love working with Stefan, but we were like an old married couple – 10 years [together]!

“I was very excited to work so closely with another actor, to bring the kids in and have that family dynamic. It works really well and we laugh a lot.”

As for what the future holds for Terese and Toadie, only time will tell; we’d be surprised if Paul didn’t get involved somewhere down the line!
