John Richards

John Richards was the lover of Ellen White and father of Chrissie White.

Due to their open marriage, Ellen White was allowed to sleep with other men. However, in John's case, Ellen became infatuated with him. Not loving her back, John soon got bored of Ellen and moved to America, breaking her heart.

Ellen soon discovered she was pregnant and the couple both knew that the father was John. It didn't matter to them though as they would act as if it was Lawrence's. A year after daughter Chrissie's birth, Lawrence came home to find John in his living room, holding his child.

Lawrence discovered that Ellen wanted a divorce, but never left him. Money starting disappearing out the company account. John was just using her for the money, so Lawrence confronted him and threatened him with the police. But when he too made a threat against his family and lifestyle, Lawrence had to back down.

Changing his mind, he sent Chrissie and Ellen up to visit her grandmother in Scotland and reported John to the police for fraud. Lawrence too had to go into hiding before the trial in fear. After a stint in prison, John was dejected. With no friends, family and no one willing to offer him a job, John killed himself.

In June 2017, John's brother Tim phoned in to a radio show that Lawrence had appeared on, stating that he had killed his brother.
