John Barton (Emmerdale)
John Barton is a fictional character from the British soap opera ''Emmerdale'', played by James Thornton. The actor was asked to audition for the part and he called it the "most frightening audition" he had ever done. Thornton won the role of John, who was introduced to ''Emmerdale'' along with his family as part of an overhaul of the show by the series producer Gavin Blyth. The Barton family took over the running of Butler's Farm and they were described as being "sexy, modern and contemporary". Thornton made his debut screen appearance during the episode broadcast on 17 July 2009. The following year, he signed a one-year extension to his contract. In November 2011, Thornton revealed that he was to leave ''Emmerdale'' after three years and he departed on 16 February 2012.
Shortly before he arrived on-screen, Blyth described John as being "a very charismatic and modern farmer." He was a family man, who was honest and hard-working. Kate Woodward of ''Inside Soap'' called him "ruggedly handsome" and said he had a heart of gold. Thornton called his character a "proper bloke", who was quite moral. John and his family moved to the village to make Butler's Farm a success. John was good at business and employed a modern approach to farming. He and his wife, Moira (Natalie J. Robb), were childhood sweethearts and their marriage was initially solid. However, John shared a kiss with Eve Jenson (Suzanne Shaw) and two years later Moira had an affair with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley). John struggled to forgive Moira for her infidelity, but eventually realised that he could not be without her.
==Creation and casting==
On 22 May 2009, it was announced a new farming family called the Bartons would be introduced to ''Emmerdale'' in July. Kris Green of Digital Spy reported the show's series producer, Gavin Blyth was introducing the new family as part of an ongoing reinvention of the soap. The family, which consisted of five members - a mother, father, two daughters and a son - took over the running of Butler's Farm.〔 Of the family, Blyth said "I don't want to make ''Emmerdale'' a show about teenagers and young people, it's about family values. The Bartons are sexy, modern and contemporary. They're almost happy - and in soapland that's quite strange!" Natalie J. Robb was cast in the role of Moira Barton and Adam Thomas, Sophie Powles and Grace Cassidy were cast as teenagers Adam, Holly and Hannah respectively.〔
Former ''HolbyBlue'' actor James Thornton was cast in the role of Moira's husband, John. Thornton was asked to audition for ''Emmerdale'' when the role came through to his agent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=James Thornton (Emmerdale) Interview )〕 He auditioned alongside Robb and they read scenes together.〔 Thornton said "I thought I was just coming up for a chat so when we went on set it was mental. It's the most frightening audition I've ever done, but it must have gone well!"〔 The actor said he had grown up with the show and was brought up twenty minutes from where it is filmed.〔 He said his character appealed to him as he believed he would be fun to play, and there would be opportunities for him to film comedy and drama storylines.〔 In September 2010, it was announced Thornton had signed a one-year extension to his contract.
