John "Johnny" DiMarco is a fictional character on the show Degrassi: The Next Generation. He is a former student of Lakehurst High who is now enrolled in the Degrassi Community School. He is portrayed by Scott Paterson.
[edit] Season 6
Johnny was first introduced as a subordinate to Nic, a Lakehurst student and J. T. Yorke's rival. He helped to beat up Toby when J.T. failed to show up for a rumble.
In the episode Rock This Town, Johnny and his friend Drake showed up at Liberty's party, saying that they were "Lakehurst ambassadors". After being thrown out by Jay Hogart and Spinner Mason, they found J.T.'s car and while Johnny urinated on it, J.T. appeared, looking for Liberty. J.T. mouths off to them and while his back is turned, Drake pulls a small knife out of his pocket and runs up behind J.T. and stabs him in the back. Johnny is horrified by this, but he runs away after Drake. Later in the hospital, J.T. dies from a punctured aorta.
[edit] Season 7
After Lakehurst burns down, Johnny begins to attend Degrassi with a number of other students, including Damien Hayes, Holly J. Sinclair, Jane V., and Anya MacPherson. He will also become involved in a fierce rivalry with Spinner Mason.
Johnny and his friends begin to bother Toby. He starts off by calling him a "Digi-Wiener" after hearing Toby and Mr. Simpson talking about computers. At the end of the same day, he is stopped by Toby, who he recognizes as the kid he beat up with Nic. He offers a truce, which Toby does not take but rather says "You watched your friend stab my friend to death." Johnny then leaves. Later, Toby made a podcast for the school newspaper The Grapevine stating how much he hates Lakehurst. Johnny, as well as the rest of the Lakehurst student body, hears the podcast. Later, Toby goes to a pool bar where Johnny is and offers to take up on the truce. Johnny tells him the truce is off the table because of the podcast. Johnny is seen in later episodes trying to shove Toby's face into food and throwing around his scarf. This leads to the start of the Spinner/Johnny Rivalry.
Johnny is seen picking on Toby in the lunch room, where Spinner intervenes. He tells them to stop acting like a bunch of monkeys. Johnny tells him that they'll get right on that and turns around to walk away. He then turns back and throws a punch which is caught by Spinner. Spinner bends his hand back enough to show Johnny was in pain. Johnny then leaves angrily. Later, after Spinner finds out he has cancer, Johnny is seen picking on Toby again. Spinner goes and confronts Johnny who says, "What are you gonna do about it? Sing Kumbaya?" Spinner replies "Not this time." and hits Johnny with two punches. Johnny falls to the ground. As Spinner walks away, Johnny gets up to go after him. Sometime later, Spinner tries to make amends with Johnny, who doesn't accept stating that he is now famous because "When dudes square off people wanna watch." Later that evening Johnny is beaten mercilessly by Spinner in a back alley. He is later mentioned to have received detention with Spinner due to their filmed fights.
He attends a camp with Darcy and Peter over spring break in an attempt to work out his issues ("Bust a Move"). Although in general he appears to be selfish this is different in the episode Sweet O' Child of Mine. In this episode, when it is revealed that his best friend Lucas is the father of Mia's child Isabella, he confronts her on being too hard on Lucas and flirting with some surfer guy while Lucas is babysitting their kid.
