Biography[]
The naive, but likeable Johnny was brought into the show in the end of season two, to set up for Ryan's departure, and became a regular in season three.
He is first introduced as a skirt-chaser, who has the hots for Micki ("Wedding Bell Blues"). Later on, things begin to neutralize, but heat up again when the two take a trip to retrieve a cursed object, and on the way home end up in an abandoned house ("The Long Road Home").
Johnny's father, a security guard, was shot on the job ("The Prisoner"). Johnny was so bereaved that he unknowingly used the coin that killed Micki to bring his father back to life ("Bad Penny"). He has been arrested twice during the course of the show, once for being a suspected accessory to murder ("Wedding Bell Blues") and again as a suspect in his father's murder ("The Prisoner"). Also mentioned in ("Wedding Bell Blues") is the fact that he has a bail-bondsman, which it seems he is on good terms with.
