Johnny Zacchara

Brandon Barash as Johnny

Johnny is a member of the Zacchara mob family. He has recently been released from prison and returns to Port Charles to pick up where he left off.

## Paroled

After being released from Pentonville six months ago, he returned to Port Charles with the intention of finishing what he started: expanding the Zacchara mob territory throughout the city. At first, he moved slow, working to regain control of The Haunted Star and restarting Extreme Motors. It was during this quiet stage that he ran into a familiar face --- the newly returned Brook Lynn Ashton. The two caught up over a drink, discussing what had happened in their lives as of late. The two parted with hopes of seeing each other more often.

Someone he got to see more of right away was Isabella Sanchez. After a session of heavy flirting, the two fell into bed immediately and decided that they enjoyed one another enough to keep up a no strings attached relationship.

Once again, he ran into Brook Lynn, this time on the docks. He learned that she was well on her way to rebooting L&B Records. This got him thinking and he offered to help Brook Lynn scout talent onboard The Haunted Star. They were in business together.

## Personality

Johnny's life has not been easy despite thinking he was the son of prominent mobster. His treatment at the hands of Anthony Zacchara greatly influenced how he turned out. He is a bad boy but with a heart of gold, treating those he cares for kindly while going after the ones he does not. He can be volatile at times while also brooding at others. He is still working through what he wants out of life..

## Important Relationships

* Anthony Zacchara: The man he thought was his father. Their relationship was anything but positive leaving Anthony to cast a long shadow over Johnny's life.
* Claudia Zacchara: The woman he thought was his sister but turned out to be his mother. Another complicated relationship. Her death has left a hole in his life.
* Lulu Spencer: His ex-girlfriend. The co-owned The Haunted Star together and were pretty serious for a time. They are now friends.
