[edit] Character History

Johnno was the ever loyal Elvis-loving, he was devoted to his family but expected to receive respect and obedience in return. Johnno arrived as part of the Dean family, and began working as a lorry driver with Les Hunter.

Johnno tried to protect and support his children as much, by giving Debbie help with her problems with her boyfriend and helping his son Craig through his school troubles. However, family troubles began to appear. His daughter Steph was attacked by serial killer Toby Mills, and the family became heavily in debt when Johnno’s work place collapsed and the Deans had to move homes.

Despite tough times, Johnno continued to support his family through this, especially by helping Steph cope with epilepsy and Debbie with her career. Things began to look up for Johnno and his family after he found a new job at Body Boost. But things took a turn for the worst when Johnno began an affair with a 19-year-old student. It became a habit for Johnno as some nights he never came home and his wife and family saw less of him.

Eventually Frankie Osborne discovered Johnno’s affair and confronted him. Although this was a shocker for Frankie, Johnno revealed another blow when he told her that his girlfriend was 7 months pregnant. This left Frankie shattered and Johnno had the hard task of telling his children. When Johnno told his family the truth, they all found it hard to deal with. None of his children wanted to have contact with their father as a devastated Johnno left.

Johnno came back a few months later for a failed attempt to reconcile with his family. He told his family that his girlfriend had left him for someone else and that he realised he missed his family. Craig then found out that Johnno was lying and that he had left his girlfriend and newborn son after he decided that he didn't want to be a father again at his age.

Johnno's family then told him they were disgusted by his behaviour and that he shouldn't leave his child without a father, or his girlfriend without financial support. Johnno then left his family and Hollyoaks behind. Although he did mail Craig a birthday card for his 18th birthday, but Craig didn't open to him and told his stepfather Jack Osborne that he was a better father than Johnno had ever been.
