I don't recall who got rid of Johnny V.....But, I was under inpression it was a trade school in Detroit.....At any rate, he had to dump Lola when he left, probably tired of all her shit...
Bringing him back ? Might be possible later in the story, springtime prehaps...He would have to fight Peanut for the leadership of the clique, I suppose....My impression was that Peanut was his handpicked successor, however. May be noted that Lola quit school after Johnny left, but was hanging around New Coventry before she hooked up with Kurt.
Other old clique leaders who are gone are....Earnest, who was sent to the sex-addiction clinic before the start of the NES story. It is doubtful weather he will ever be back, and the Nerds really don't want him back as a clique leader. I suspect the Melvin, the new clique leader, would just squash him if he tried to come back.
And Russell, while still around, lost his leadership of the Bullies clique due to his deterorated mental condition, after Jimmy's arrest and subquent jailing. He is now not much more than a trained monkey. Trent assumed the leadership of that clique before the NES story began.
The clique leaders who remain are Derby (Preps) and Ted (Jocks).....We have also 'grown-up' a couple of the girls, Karen and Gloria. Remaining are Christy, Mandy, Pinky, and Zoe (who came back to school after having quit a second time)....Gone is Beatrice, who went off to a med-prep school. Not so sure about Angie and Eunice.
