| Occupation | Chief Executive Officer of Scott Spear pharmaceuticals (until 2009) |
John Grainger was the slimy CEO of dodgy pharmaceutical company – Scott Spear. John realized company employee Ant Richards (Michael Morris) was stealing from the company and attempted to blackmail him. The company later tried to murder Ant but accidentally killed Huia Samuels (Nicola Kawana) in a car bomb. John returned in 2008 when he sought out Craig Valentine (Renato Bartolomei) for a job at Scott Spear. However Craig discovered Scott Spear was dealing in dodgy drugs and Justine Jones (Lucy Wigmore) flirted with John and stole a ledger, detailing people Scott Spear had killed off. John returned in 2009 when he confronted both Justine's family before the trial of Scott Spear and showed optimism towards the charges. He later threatened Sophie (Kimberley Crossman) when he discovered Justine had faked her death. In 2010 Sarah Potts (Amanda Billing) stated that John had been imprisoned and was facing millions of dollars worth of penalties.

Famous quotes containing the word john:
“Oh for some honest lover’s ghost,
Some kind unbodied post
Sent from the shades below!
I strangely long to know
Whether the nobler chaplets wear
Those that their mistress’ scorn did bear,
Or those that were used kindly.”
—Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)
