Rhonda moved away from her beloved Surfers Paradise to settle with Paul in E Street. Rhonda took a job at Elly's surgery as receptionist and settles into E Street best she could. She threw herself into the community by coaching the basketball team and becoming a good friend to Sarah. She was determined to make things work for she and Paul and their new home.

During a siege, Rhonda was shot by a policeman. It was an accident but the event was witnessed by Paul, who kept a vigil at her bedside as she lay in a coma. No amount of visitors could wake Rhonda up and she died of a heart attack. Paul was devastated and it just seemed so unfair to everyone around that Rhonda was never really given a chance at life.
