==History==
John Barton first came to Emmerdale in 2009 with his wife Moira and their son Adam along with two daughters: Holly and Hannah. From then onwards the family settled in the village, with John serving as their patriarch.
Over the next few years, John and Moira worked together at the farm as a beloved couple who found themselves getting entangled with many situations - namely with Holly's drug addiction, Hannah's awkwardness, and Adam's romantic endeavours. In 2011, John's marriage with Moira went into trouble when she was seduced by local hardman Cain Dingle and the two embarked on a tryst until John eventually learned about their secret. This in turn led to John and Cain becoming enemies that escalated when Cain got attacked by an unknown assailant and John was a suspect due to him having a fight with Cain moments before the attack took place.
In 2012, John was exonerated for Cain's attack and he reconciled with Moira. The couple soon planned to go on a holiday to mend their marriage, but tragedy struck when they had a car accident. John ensured that Moira was rescued before the car crashed down the cliff with him still inside the vehicle. John was brutally injured and rushed to hospital, where he died of his injuries after confessing his love for Moira.
