Why does Johnny not appear during Regina's gigs?

[725ken]

I saved all but one of Regina's gigs for act 2 when Johnny appears and right now I've done 6 of them. Not a single time has Johnny appeared or made a comment. Does he just not do that for any of Regina's gigs or just her early ones?

You meet Regina before you're stuck with Johnny. So technically speaking, you would've completed all of her gigs before completing the heist, technically. Of course, every player is different, however that's how the game treats it.

You can complete her gigs in act 1 so instead of creating a check on every single regina gig for whether or not you have johnny, they just didn't include him.

I recall him showing up for a couple of her gigs depending on choices. For instance, if you check the video file before downloading it for Aaron McCarlson in the gig "Scrolls before swine", Johnny will comment on it. That's what I can think of on top of my head.

he also pops up to comment at the dockside cyberpsycho, tho its just a single line lol
i heard he used to have some comments if you were doing the Monster Hunt gig (jotaro) but those were removed (i'd love them back. infact, i'd love all his cut lines back, even if its just via a mod. the more Johnny the better for me. i can wait till after the heist to do Regina's gigs then, and just clear out the NCPD spots)
he has comments for the gig where you have to get back 'stolen' meds.
think someone on reddit was making a list of every time he pops up to comment in a gig, location or mission.
(usefull for those who want to know which jobs to avoid till after the heist, or which jobs to ignore if you DON'T want to see him, if you hate him that much)

true that you meet her before.
but a lot of us skip out to roam and do the NCPD points before we go do the heist ( some go do them after meeting Dex, but many of us do so after getting our cyberware from Vik, leaving Jackie with Misty till we have cleared Watson. well, he did say 'I have a date with Misty' so, i let him have that time, even if it's just him sitting in that chair)
if you don't talk to Jackie and leave Misty's place, you wont get the call from Regina about the psycho's. so you don't have to worry about bumping into them untill you are ready.

You're missing one thing. You get a call from Regina as soon as you leave your apartment, long before you drive over to the ripperdoc.

The order is: wake up after first gig, call from Jackie telling V to meet him, call from Regina, talk to the trainer about street fights, talk to Wilson about picking up the iconic gun, meet Jackie at the vendor, drive over to the ripperdoc. All of those encounters are forced (you can avoid the trainer and Wilson I think), and then it's up to the player from there.

It's quite possible to skip meeting Jackie and going to see Vik for a while...I usually do this in order to have some extra money to spend on cyberware when I finally do see Vik. The game does guide you pretty heavily in the sequence you detail, but you can get around outside it as soon as you step out of H10. Maybe someday I'll see how far I can get before meeting Jackie and Vik.
