John Robert Smith was introduced in the pilot episode, Wheel of Fortune (Part 1). Born in 1967, Johnny taught Biology at Cleaves Mills High School until a horrific car crash on 6 June 1995 put him into a six-year coma from which he awoke on 1 September 2001. Since that time, he has experienced psychic visions, triggered by physical contact, of the future and the past; he has repeatedly used these visions to aid Penobscot County Sheriff Walter T. Bannerman, the man who had married Johnny's own fiance, Sarah Bracknell, and subsequently helped her raise Johnny's son J.J. while Johnny was comatose.
