Michael 'Mick' Johnson is a fictional character in the defunct Channel 4 soap opera Brookside. He was portrayed by Louis Emerick from 1989 until 2001.

Storylines

Mick first appears as a friend of Terry Sullivan and they go into partnership as taxi drivers. Mick later moves into Number 6 Brookside Close as a Lodger of Harry Cross and the arrangement becomes more permanent when Harry moves out and Mick separates from his wife, Josie.

During Mick's first few months on the close he is beaten up by a customer in his cab and later is up in court for injuring a burglar. Terry supplies a glowing character reference and Mick is found not guilty.

In 1996 Mick befriends Ollie Simpson, and the two sit on the board of the local education authority with the aim of tackling bullying problems at their local school, where Mick's son Leo and Ollie's son Danny are being continually victimised by Tim O'Leary. Unfortunately, O'Leary's mother Carmel also holds a seat on the board, and refuses to believe that her son is th e culprit.

After reconciling with Josie, Mick's younger brother Ellis, moves into the house putting a strain on the couple, especially when Ellis costs Mick his Hackney Carriage license after being caught driving the cab. Mick and Ellis later go into partnership when they buy the local Pizza place from Terry but are met with opposition from local racist, George Webb, who goes as far as trying to petrol bomb the pizza parlour. In the end, Webb is forced to leave the area by Barry Grant and Max Farnham.

In 1997, Mick becomes addicted to steroids after taking up body building, and attacks Ollie Simpson while under the influence. After initially threatening to take him to court for assault, Ollie later reconciles with Mick on discovering that he is battling an addiction, and supports him through his ordeal; in return, Mick publicly defends Ollie in early 1997 when the rest of the close turn their back on him after it is revealed that Ollie's son Nat and daughter Georgia have been sleeping together.
