John left the ITV soap in 2018 when his character Lawrence was killed off.
Lawrence and his daughter Chrissie White were killed in a car crash, caused by Chrissie’s son Lachlan.

He went on to kill his friend Gerry, conman ‘Terry’, who pretended to be Gerry’s uncle. He also kidnapped his aunt Rebecca and attempted to kill her.
Eventually Lachlan’s crimes were discovered and he went to prison.
