Literally one of the least interesting characters in the history of television.

Dude needs knee surgery and rather than accept a check from his rich friends to pay for it he fucking buys a gun to rob a liquor store. Holy shit, just the worst.

100% agree. It was like a network executive had been watching a episode of 24 and thought the Kim storylines were amazing and was like "wow, this is amazing writing!. She's getting attacked by stalkers, rapists and murderous baby sitters, cougars, all in the span of 24 for hours. How can we bottle that and make a character like that storyline?" and a writer went away and created Johnny based on their feedback.
