A

Danny Andrade

Rupert Ravens (July 30, 1984–November 28, 1986)

Danny, Santana's younger brother, was part of the very first teen set on the show. Danny and his friends sought fame in Hollywood and even opened a hotel. He was involved with Jade Perkins, but their relationship was eventually phased out. By 1985 Danny was almost forgotten. He returned briefly on a couple occasions (as Danny was revealed to have gotten into trouble thanks to drugs) only to exit the show permanently in 1986.

Rosa and Ruben Andrade

Margarita Cordova (July 30, 1984–February 24, 1987, February 21, 1991–January 15, 1993)
Ismael 'East' Carlo (August 3, 1984–February 6, 1985)

The Andrade family had a prominent role in the early months of the show, but their significance waned quickly. Rosa, a maid to the wealthy Capwell family, was always there for the Capwell kids as a surrogate mother, their real mother (Sophia) presumed to be dead. Ruben worked at the Capwell mansion as well as a gardener; he didn't have much of a role during his short stay on the show. They had four children: daughters Gabriela, Olivia, Santana, and son Danny. Ruben's last appearance on-screen was in 1985; Rosa continued to mention Ruben, apparently still working on the Capwell grounds, until she stopped appearing as well, in 1987, having remained around as long as daughter Santana was involved in the storyline. Rosa finally reappeared in 1991 (as did Santana), as a love interest for Rafael Castillo; Ruben was not mentioned at that time other than her brief explanation that he had abandoned her.

Marcello Armonti

Wolf Muser (January 7, 1985–June 4, 1985)

Marcello Armonti followed his stepmother, Countess Armonti (aka Dominick, actually Sophia Wayne Capwell), to Santa Barbara in 1985. Marcello was a psychiatrist who had treated Sophia. He also helped Kelly to grieve for her husband Joe, who had been murdered by Peter Flint.

Not much was known about Marcello's past at first, but it was obvious he had an ulterior motive. He was actually seeking revenge against C.C. Capwell for the murder of his parents. (Of course, the truth was very different from Marcello's belief.) His plans were ruined by his sympathy for Kelly, whom he nearly killed during his attempt on C.C.'s life. Marcello stuck around in town until it was revealed that Sophia was Channing's (inadvertent) murderer. He was later imprisoned for killing Hank Judson.

Ethan Asher

Leigh McCloskey (March 7, 1989–July 18, 1990)

Ethan Asher was Santa Barbara's District Attorney following Keith Timmons's departure; he was later revealed to be one of the Four Orphans scarred by Cassie Benedict's apparent death. When he arrived in Santa Barbara, he brought his mentally disturbed wife Laura with him. Laura cheated on Ethan with her former lover Michael Donnelly, which prompted Ethan to seek comfort in the arms of Laura's girlhood friend, Gina.

A jealous Laura ran over Ethan. He ended up in a hospital, where he found a possible link to the death of Cassie Benedict. Ethan continued researching the case and didn't stop at anything—-he was eventually incarcerated for going too far in his pursuit of Cassie's supposed killers.

B

Andrea Bedford

Ally Walker (January 7, 1988–October 31, 1988)

Andrea made her first appearance in town followed the oil rig explosion—she was involved in the animal rescue effort. Cain Garver, an investigator in Cruz Castillo's agency, suspected that Andrea might be a criminal named Fox. It was later revealed that Andrea was actually a secret agent also investigating the mysterious Fox, who had killed her father. Andrea's mission was complete when she learned that "Fox" was actually a nurse, Kathleen McDougall.

She decided to stay in Santa Barbara, and she started a relationship with Cain. Major Phillip Hamilton asked for Andrea's assistance in reuniting Vietnamese families. Hamilton was actually Cain's former commanding officer and wanted revenge against Cain. He hired an actress named Ming Li to pose as Cain's daughter, in order to drive a wedge between Andrea and Cain. Phillip tried to seduce Andrea, but later realized that she only loved Cain. Cain started acting weird, so Andrea left town for a little time. When she returned, she realized that things hadn't changed. One day, Andrea was found raped and murdered on the beach. The prime suspects were Phillip and Cain, but it was later revealed that it was in fact Dr. Zach Kelton.

Cassandra Benedict

Karen Moncrieff (June 20, 1990–April 9, 1992)

Cassandra Benedict was a foster child of the Capwells, believed to have been killed in a cave-in in the tunnel between the Capwell and Lockridge estates—an accident witnessed by four orphan boys who had been Cassie's friends. The boys made a pact to avenge her death. Years later, in 1990, they arrived in Santa Barbara as grown men - Ethan Asher, Stephen Slade, Craig Hunt and Derek Griffin, still haunted by the childhood tragedy. Derek in particular was obsessed with revenge—he blamed Mason, who had tormented his foster sister. Just as Derek was preparing to execute Mason, Cassandra revealed herself to be alive. Cassie was welcomed back into the Capwell fold and made an honorary member of the family, quickly establishing herself as a force with which to be reckoned. Cassie managed to break up Mason's relationship with Julia.

Her life was turned upside down when she discovered her long-lost mother was actually town matriarch Minx Lockridge. Minx sought her illegitimate daughter's forgiveness for abandoning her. Embarrassed and hurt, Cassie rejected Minx and kept her origins a secret to protect her place in the Capwell family. Eventually, Mason's mother, Pamela, revealed the secret, out of spite. C.C. still accepted her as his child. Cassie's relationship with the Lockridges remained strained, especially with the return of her nephew, Lionel's son Warren. Years before, offscreen, Cassie and Warren had had a love affair in Singapore.

Mason and Cassie became engaged while Cassie and Warren fought their attraction. Warren was blamed when Mason was shot. Augusta later revealed the truth: that Warren was not Lionel's biological son. This should have paved the way for a Cassie-Warren reunion. It was too late, however, since Warren was now in love with Angela Cassidy. Obsessed with Warren, Cassie tried to destroy Angela by uncovering Angela's role in her sister Marilyn's mysterious death. When she tried to poison Angela, Lionel was the unintended victim. Heart-broken, Minx shipped her unbalanced daughter off to a mental hospital.

Hayley Benson

Stacy Edwards (February 7, 1986–January 12, 1988)

Hayley Benson arrived in Santa Barbara in 1986 after running away from her parents. She came to live with her aunt, Gina. Hayley soon won the sympathy of Ted Capwell, who gave her a job at the Capwell mansion. As time passed, Hayley got involved in a group that protested the casino in town. During one of their activities, Hayley threw a projectile that ended up exploding and killing Amy Perkins Wallace. Ted married Hayley so he wouldn't have to testify against her.

Things got more complicated when Ted's ex-girlfriend Laken Lockridge returned to town. At the same time, Hayley was raped by an unknown attacker. She sought comfort in Ted, who couldn't be around her anymore. Hayley then ended up with Jake Morton. They started a relationship and Ted eventually divorced Hayley so the happy couple could enjoy their lives. Unfortunately, early in 1988, Hayley was run over by Carmen Castillo's drunk boyfriend.

Mack Blake

Steve Bond (September 4, 1989–September 21, 1990)

Mack Blake, Gina's brother, came to town in 1989: somewhat of a surprise, as Gina had never mentioned a brother. Trouble tended to follow Mack during his brief stay in Santa Barbara: upon arrival, he was immediately accused of stealing a Porsche from his former lover, Yvonne Bartelo. Later, Ilsa, a colleague at the Capwell fitness center (where Mack was a trainer), accused him of stealing jewels. In both cases, Mack proved his innocence. Finally, another lover of Mack's, Gretchen Richards, attempted to talk him into murdering her wealthy husband, Harland. When Mack refused, Gretchen accused him anyway. After he was exonerated, Mack left town.

Gina was suspicious of Mack throughout his stay in Santa Barbara and believed him to be a bad influence on Brandon. However, the truth was that Mack spent a lot of time with Brandon, giving him pointers in life and acting as a role model.

Like Gina, Mack was a close friend to Laura Asher; he was surprised to find out that his sister Gina was having an affair with Laura's husband Ethan.

Phyllis Blake

??? (? - ?)
Stella Stevens (November 27, 1989–December 27, 1990)

The mother of Gina DeMott made her first appearance in a flashback of Gina when she remembered the birth of her daughter Lily whom her mother declared dead.
The first appearance in town was at the end of 1989, when she joined her daughter at the Lockridge mansion, hoping that Gina had forgiven her their shared past. Phyllis immediately decided to take control of Gina's life. After learning of Gina's affair with Ethan Asher, Phyllis managed to get hired as Ethan's secretary in order to investigate Ethan's wife Laura. She learned that Laura had committed a murder and blackmailed her, until Gina convinced her to stop. Phyllis's gambling became a problem as well, as it led Phyllis to neglect to pay Gina's insurance premium: when the Lockridge mansion burned down, the two women became homeless. Gina then started pretending to be blind, and Phyllis helped her smuggle paintings out of the Capwell mansion, until they were both stopped by C.C. Capwell. Phyllis left town shortly thereafter, having come to the conclusion that she brought nothing but trouble to her daughter.

Summer Blake

Jonna Leigh Stack (September 27, 1984–January 14, 1985

Summer first appeared in town shortly after her sister Gina's arrival. They moved in together; Summer moved to her own apartment weeks later and started working at the city art museum as a curator. Summer's burgeoning relationship with Warren Lockridge took a big hit when Warren tried to get physical and she seemed to have been distancing herself from him. Summer left to get therapy in L.A.; Warren learned from Gina that Summer had been raped by her former lover, Hank Judson. Upon her return to town, Summer was relieved when Warren offered understanding and comfort; in return, she offered him help in many troubled moments he had with the law. While being interviewed at the police station by Mason regarding Warren and the stolen Capewell gold coins Summer accidentally viewed a photograph of the murdered Barbara Anderson, the first victim of the Carnation Killer. Hours later Summer tragically became the second victim: At the State Street Bistro Peter Flint convinced her to leave and get in a car with him by telling her that Warren had been hospitalized and later raped and murdered her. Warren was the person who discovered her body lying in an abandoned warehouse not long after her murder. She had been raped and strangled and was holding a white carnation flower in one hand. Warren broke the tragic news of her murder to her elder sister Gina.

Pearl Bradford

Robert Thaler (October 31, 1985–April 1988)

Pearl was introduced as a wacky oddball waiter at Buzz's Place who occasionally helped Cruz Castillo in his investigations. In 1986, Pearl met Courtney Capwell in the course of a scavenger hunt and the two fell in love. He eventually revealed to her that he was actually Michael Baldwin Bradford III, the son of a wealthy Boston family and a brilliant scholar. He had turned his back on his family and developed a new identity out of devastation when his brother Brian killed himself after their parents had institutionalized him for embarrassing the family name. When Pearl heard that the same corrupt Dr. Rawlings who had run the institution where Brian had died was now treating Kelly Capwell after she was locked up for going insane from killing Dylan Hartley in self-defense, he posed as a patient and had himself committed in order to investigate the matter undercover. In the process, he fell in love with Kelly (to Courtney's chagrin) and helped her escape the institution; the Capwells sent Kelly off to stay with family friends in Switzerland until they could convince Gina to hand over the videotape proving that she had killed Dylan in self-defense. Pearl and Courtney eventually discovered that Dr. Rawlings was practicing medicine without a doctor's degree and he was jailed after he tried to kill them; in the process, they discovered that Brian was actually alive. They eventually tracked down Brian, who at first was angry with Pearl due to a misheard conversation between his parents and Pearl; he had thought Pearl hated him when in fact Pearl was sticking up for Brian. They reconciled and Brian eventually figured out that Courtney had killed her sister Madeline; Courtney revealed that it was in self-defense and fled town, and Brian left town shortly thereafter.

In early 1987, Pearl was supposed to go to Switzerland to secretly bring Kelly back home, but a tail from Gina and Keith's PI forced a last-minute change of plans and Jeffrey Conrad went in Pearl's place. When Kelly and Jeffrey eventually returned to Santa Barbara, Pearl was devastated to find out they had fallen in love. Aside from helping Cruz open a detective agency, Pearl had no more major storylines of his own and eventually disappeared from the canvas without an explanation in April 1988.

Courtney Capwell

Julia Campbell (March 12, 1986–December 18, 1986)

C.C.'s niece Courtney arrived in town from Boston in March 1986 with her sister Madeline; she was as kind and sweet as Madeline was snobbish and vain. She and Pearl Bradford met during the course of a scavenger hunt and fell in love. Madeline was murdered shortly thereafter and Courtney was intent on finding her sister's killer. The leading suspect was Madeline's husband David Laurent, who had been having an affair with his business colleague Sheila Carlisle, but he was acquitted and left town. Later, Courtney was devastated when Pearl fell in love with Kelly Capwell while he was undercover as a patient where Kelly was institutionalized to save her from the corrupt doctor in charge, Dr. Rawlings. Still, she helped Pearl put Dr. Rawlings away and track down his brother Brian, who had been presumed dead after being in Dr. Rawlings' care back in Boston.

While the storyline of Madeline's murder had been dropped for months, suddenly in late fall 1986 Courtney began waking up screaming from nightmares and seeing blood on her hands. She became more and more unraveled and unsuccessfully tried to pin her sister's murder on Keith Timmons, who had secretly been having an affair with Madeline. Brian Bradford, who claimed never to have encountered a murder mystery that he couldn't solve, came to the conclusion that Courtney must have been the one who killed Madeline. He talked a reluctant Pearl into forcing Courtney to watch a staged re-enactment of the murder at the bungalow where it had happened to force the truth to the surface. Courtney told them that it was true that she killed Madeline, but it wasn't murder; Madeline had devised an elaborate plot to kill Courtney so she could have their inheritance all to herself, and Courtney was forced to kill her in self-defense. She let David stand trial for the murder because she had seen him come in and find Madeline and know she still had a pulse, and flee without calling for help, so it was clear that he had hoped she'd die. Pearl found a bullet in the wall that corroborated her story. None of them said anything further about the matter and Courtney left town.

Cruz, Eden and Ric Castillo found him working as a prisoner of a magician in Mexico, and set out to save him. Ric killed the evil magician in order to save his father. Keen on making things right with Cruz and Ric, Rafael started a completely different life in Santa Barbara. Rafael left town after less than a year.

Filled with anger, Ric moved to Santa Barbara to seek revenge against his brother. He started dating Sandra Mills, the psychic who had led Cruz and Eden to Paris—Sandra was now obsessed with Cruz. Ric quickly realized that hate would get him nowhere and pursued a relationship with Kelly.

Ric, Eden and Cruz found Ric and Cruz's father Rafael being held prisoner by a magician. In order to rescue his father, Ric was forced to shoot the magician. Ric's relationship with Kelly was short-lived as the wealthy Robert Barr drove a wedge between the couple.

Jeffrey was driving Pearl to the airport to bring Kelly back from Switzerland, where she was hiding while Gina refused to release the videotape proving Kelly killed Dylan Hartley in self-defense, but a tail on their vehicle from Gina and Keith's PI forced them to make a last minute switch and Jeffrey went to Switzerland in Pearl's place. Jeffrey saved Kelly and brought her back to Santa Barbara, where she was eventually cleared of charges in Dylan's death once Gina finally gave up the tape. Along the way, Jeffrey and Kelly had fallen in love. Jeffrey was then revealed to be the son of Pamela Pepperidge, C.C.'s first wife and Mason's mother. Jeffrey joined Alex Nikolas and his half-brother Mason in attempting to destroy C.C.'s life, but he changed his mind when he realized he would hurt Kelly. Kelly and Jeffrey moved in together and he admitted to her his connection to Pamela and Mason. Kelly chose to trust Jeffrey, even after C.C. revealed that Jeffrey had been suspected of murdering his wife, back in England. Jeffrey and Kelly married in a lavish ceremony.

Jeffrey was overjoyed when Pamela returned to Santa Barbara; gradually, his mother took over his life. Kelly suffered a miscarriage, contributing to stress in their marriage, already introduced by Pamela's interference. Kelly sought comfort in the arms of T.J. Daniels, while Jeffrey was briefly infatuated with a singer named Iliana. Jeffrey joined forces with T.J., who had been rejected by Kelly, to kill Kelly and get her fortune. When Jeffrey had a change of heart, T.J. blackmailed him; this eventually led to a fight between the two men, which left Jeffrey paralyzed. Eventually, Jeffrey recovered but continued to be blackmailed. The situation finally ended when Jeffrey threw T.J. off a train. Soon thereafter, he divorced Kelly and returned to England.

Kirk Cranston

Joseph Bottoms (September 23, 1985–April 21, 1986, December 9–17, 1987; March 24, 1989–April 7, 1989)
Robert Newman (April 22, 1986–May 30, 1986)

First arriving in Santa Barbara during a period of difficulty between Cruz and Eden, Kirk immediately took advantage and split the pair up. Eden married Kirk. Kirk kept many secrets from Eden, the most serious being the knowledge that she was not the one who had disconnected her father from life support. He used this information to blackmail both Eden and the actual culprit, Gina. Kirk Cranston's manipulation of his roles as a stress inducer and stress reliever played a vital part in his ability to become a reproductive coercer. Here's an incredibly detailed breakdown of how these roles intersected and contributed to his overall scheme: Stress inducer: Kirk began by posing as Eden's blackmailer, using the false claim that he had evidence of her disconnecting her father's life support system. This put Eden under immense emotional strain, burdened with guilt, and led her to seek support and comfort, which Kirk cleverly provided, paving the way for his role as a stress reliever. It's important to emphasize that Eden didn't know that Kirk was the blackmailer. Stress reliever: As Eden's supposed confidant and source of solace, Kirk managed to build trust and cultivate intimacy between them. He was consistently present, offering a shoulder to cry on and providing emotional support during her darkest moments. This bond led to frequent, passionate lovemaking sessions, where Kirk acted as a stress reliever, further deepening their connection. The connection between the two roles: By masterfully juggling his roles as both a stress inducer and a stress reliever, Kirk created a self-perpetuating cycle that revolved around him. The more stress he caused Eden, the more she relied on him for comfort and relief. This dynamic enabled him to maintain control over her emotions and their relationship, ultimately creating the perfect environment for him to become a reproductive coercer. Reproductive coercer: With Eden emotionally dependent and physically intimate with him, Kirk spotted an opportunity to secure a permanent place in her life and the Capwell family. He covertly replaced her birth control pills with fakes, ensuring that their passionate encounters would likely result in pregnancy. This deceitful act allowed him to manipulate Eden's reproductive choices without her knowledge or consent, all while hiding his true identity as her blackmailer. The culmination of the roles: As Eden's pregnancy progressed, Kirk's plan appeared to be successful. His roles as a stress inducer and stress reliever had laid the groundwork for him to become a reproductive coercer, solidifying his connection to the Capwell family and its fortune. In summary, Kirk Cranston's dual roles as a stress inducer and stress reliever were instrumental in allowing him to assume the role of a reproductive coercer. By expertly manipulating Eden's emotions and exploiting her vulnerability, he managed to control her reproductive choices and further his own agenda, all while maintaining the façade of a loving, supportive partner, despite being her blackmailer. Eden lost her baby in an accident. Kirk blamed Gina, whom he attempted to murder by drowning her in the Capwell fountain. (He was surprised when Gina turned out to be alive weeks later.) Kirk suffered a heart attack, but survived by getting a transplant. He was deeply disturbed to discover that Eden knew about all of his crimes and decided to divorce him. Kirk next tried to kill Cruz and Eden, but Gina stopped him in time. Following a second attempt, he was arrested. Kirk returned months later when it was revealed that he was behind Elena's suicide. He returned to prison, but resurfaced several years as the culprit behind the kidnapping of Eden and Cruz's daughter Adriana. A year later, Kirk returned once again, this time involved in drug trafficking. He attacked Eden again, but was stopped and eventually stopped by Cruz. Kirk went overboard the boat during a fight with Cruz and was never heard from again.

When first introduced, Sister Mary was living in a convent; later she left the order and began working as a trained nurse. After she left the convent she was hired to take care of C.C. Capwell, who was in a coma. C.C's son Mason was immediately attracted to Mary and before long the two began a relationship, even though Mary was very cautious from the beginning due to her inexperience. Mary's innocence and gentleness brought out a vulnerability and tenderness in Mason, who, for the first time in his life felt loved. Feeling jealous and spurned, Gina orchestrated a seemingly romantic moment between Mason and herself in a way that Mary was sure to witness. Hurt, Mary ended her relationship with Mason and became involved with an old friend, Dr. Mark McCormick.

After an accident nearly killed Mark, he used his life-threatening condition to get Mary to agree to marry him. Ever so kind-hearted Mary agreed despite her love for Mason, because she wanted to give Mark a reason to live. Mason was devastated, but arranged Mary and Mark's wedding at the hospital. To everyone's surprise Mark survived. Mason and Mary remained dear friends after Mary's wedding, although Mason never kept it a secret that he was still very much in love with her, so much so that he wanted Mary's happiness more than his own.

It soon became clear, though, that Mark wasn't making Mary happy. He was aggressive, abusive and unfaithful. In Mason, Mary found a true friend who would listen to her and comfort her. During her whole marriage, Mary had fought the deep love she felt for Mason, because she really wanted her marriage to work. Although Mary was able to resist him for a while, her unhappy and abusive marriage to Mark and her deep feelings for Mason made it impossible for her to remain with a man she didn't love.

Mary finally confessed her true feelings to Mason and the two spent a beautiful holiday in the mountains. Right then and there, Mason who had been afraid of commitment his entire life, asked Mary to marry him and she agreed. When Mary tried to end her unconsummated marriage, Mark raped her. Mary became pregnant and did not know which man had fathered her child. Mason believed the baby was his until he learned about the rape, which filled him with a thirst for revenge. He told Mary that even if the baby wasn't his, he would love him and raise him as his own because the child was Mary's and he loved Mary more than life. Mason urged Mary to press charges against Mark. During a tragic confrontation between Mary, Mark and Mark's attorney Julia Wainwright on a windy night on the roof of the Capwell Hotel, Mary was seriously injured when the letter "C" from the hotel sign was blown over and fell on her. Mason arrived to the roof just in time to see the sign falling on Mary. He rushed to Mary's side, but there was nothing to be done. Mary and their unborn baby died in Mason's arms. Losing Mary and the child she was carrying devastated Mason. His grief sent him headlong into a bottle, and he eventually left town. Mason eventually was able to get his life back together, but he never fully recovered from losing the greatest love of his life and their unborn baby.

Cain took Eden back to his cabin in the Utah mountains and nursed her back to health. While Eden was recovering, Cain fell for her and refused to let her leave his cabin. When Eden managed to escape, he followed her to Santa Barbara and took her hostage again, before being shot by Cruz. Cain lost his memory after the shooting, but got flashbacks to a woman (Elena, in fact) asking him to get rid of Eden. Elena attempted to kill Cain to conceal her secret—and failed.

Despite all of this, Cruz and Eden befriended Cain. Cain joined Cruz's detective agency, the Last Resort, where he investigated the Fox, a dangerous criminal. He fell in love with Andrea Bedford, a woman he initially suspected to be the Fox.

Jack's confusion was understandable: he was actually Jerry Cooper, Jack's look-alike cousin: he had imprisoned his cousin, whom he was impersonating.

Jerry killed his accomplice Dr. Renfro so his crimes wouldn't be revealed. He kidnapped his child and left town, while Jack was released from his imprisonment.

Minx Lockridge

Minx Lockridge
Santa Barbara character
Portrayed by	Judith Anderson (July 30, 1984–March 24, 1987) Janis Paige (October 10, 1990–January 15, 1993)
First appearance	Episode 1 July 30, 1984
Last appearance	Episode 2137 January 15, 1993
Created by	Bridget and Jerome Dobson
In-universe information Occupation Socialite Spouse T. MacDonald Lockridge (dissolved) Children Lionel Lockridge Cassandra Benedict Grandchildren Brick Wallace Warren Lockridge (legal) Laken Lockrige Channing Creighton Capwell-Lockridge (adoptive)

Minx, widow of T. Macdonald Lockridge ('T' for Tiger) was the matriarch of the Lockridge family, a woman with a strong personality and a mysterious past that kept coming back to haunt her. The strong-willed Minx seemed to dislike her daughter-in-law, Augusta Wainwright because of her often frivolous ways, but often it was clear that Minx was somewhat amused by Augusta's silliness. A lifelong hater of anything Capwell, Minx initially did not like her granddaughter Laken's relationship with Ted Capwell, either. As she began to realize that Ted was nothing like his father, she began to like him, and even helped Laken and Ted sneak around behind Augusta's back simply to aggravate her vain daughter-in-law. During the show's early days, she was seen protesting C.C.'s off-shore oil drilling, claiming it was a threat to the environment and the coastline.

Later on when Sophia Wayne Capwell, C.C.'s supposed late wife and Lionel's former lover, was revealed to be alive, Minx had a dramatic confrontation with her, but Sophia made it clear that she was in town to stay and would not allow Minx to intimidate her or cause any problems for her children. When Augusta became suspicious that Lionel was cheating on her, she arranged for Minx to find Lionel with several scantily clad blondes, but they were merely playing cards. Minx lectured Lionel about his responsibilities as a Lockridge, and Augusta's scheme backfired on her when Minx ended up giving Lionel control over some of their assets, hoping that it would make him more serious.

The family found it strange when Minx employed Brick Wallace to work at her mansion, even aiding him in helping his girlfriend Amy Perkins find out information on the child she had given up for adoption. Brick began to investigate Minx's interest in him, only to have it revealed later that he was actually the son of Sophia and Lionel, whom Minx had switched with another child (the one raised as Channing Capwell Jr.) so she wouldn't have to watch the Capwells raise him. When a vengeful C.C. arranged to take the Lockridge mansion away from her, Minx retaliated by shooting him in the rear-end with an antique gun owned by her late husband filled with buckshot.

Minx disappeared from town in 1987 and reappeared surprisingly in 1990 with a brand new outlook on life. She found a good business strategy involving spring water on the old Lockridge estate that started another war between the Capwells and the Lockridges, as Minx worked to buy back her property from C.C. Capwell. The truth behind her return, however, was much different from what others presumed. Minx was actually looking for the illegitimate child she had given away at birth. She hired Michael Donnelly, who discovered the newly returned Capwell foster child Cassandra Benedict was Minx's long-lost daughter. Cassandra and Minx didn't get along at first, but Cassandra eventually forgave her mother for what she had done. Around the same time, it was revealed that Minx's supposed grandson, Warren, was fathered by an unknown man, not her son, Lionel. This left Warren and Cassandra free to become involved as they had been years before while Warren was roaming around Europe. Minx was devastated when Cassandra began to show signs of insanity after Warren fell in love with another woman, and was forced to have her committed. Later on, Minx begrudgingly accepted Gina DeMott as Lionel's new wife, even though she had once been married to C.C.

Meanwhile, Ken had an affair with Andie Klein, but she eventually resisted his charms and sought attention in other places. Sophia's ex-husband C.C.

A day later, Julia regretted making love to Dash, but he, thinking she didn't really believe it, forced her to make love to him again.

Julia, shaken up by Dash's actions, accused him of rape and the matter was taken to court, where Dash was forced to re-live the events of the death of his former patient. Dash was set free, and Julia took the matter in her own hands by kidnapping him and forcing him to admit what he did to her. Even though he finally admitted what he did, Dash wasn't aware of his behavior until he saved a woman from rape one day. Keen on making things right, Dash decided to help out Katrina Ruyker, and they began a love story constantly interrupted by C.C.'s belief that Dash was a dangerous person.
