Johnny Cooper is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Home and Away, played by Callan Mulvey.

His feuds with other characters result in him framing Brad Armstrong (Chris Sadrinna) with drugs and attempting to murder Sally Fletcher (Kate Ritchie) and Ric Dalby (Mark Furze).

[2] In one storyline, Ric is wrongly convicted of murdering Johnny's brother Rocco Cooper (Ian Meadows).

[3] Furze added that Ric's only "salvation" from Johnny's vendetta is a prison officer, Guard Jones (Warwick Young).

"[3] Johnny is first seen is his car outside Summer Bay High to warn his younger brother, Rocco that he has a commitment to his gang and cannot back out.

Johnny and the gang take Amanda and Peter Baker (Nicholas Bishop) hostage and rob the place.

He then begins playing mind games with Brad by leaving messages about his late wife Emily (Libby Richmond) on the blackboards at school.

Brad is hell bent on bringing Johnny down and sneaks back into his place and finds Amanda's stolen jewellery.

In early 2008, Johnny escapes prison and returns to the bay in order to gain revenge on Ric and Sally.

He makes his way to the caravan park and holds Colleen Smart (Lyn Collingwood) hostage with a knife and bursts into the house startling Miles Copeland (Josh Quong Tart) and Roman Harris (Conrad Coleby), leading to a tense standoff.

At the hospital, Johnny is left brain damaged but manages to utter the words "under the bed" to Jack, but before he can say any more, he goes into cardiac arrest.

[1] The character's murder disappointed a Daily Record critic who felt that Sam whacking Johnny with the cricket bat alone would have been "far more impressive".
