Minx Lockridge was a fictional character on the soap opera Santa Barbara.

Brief character background
Minx, the 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 sour Minx disliked her daughter-in-law, Augusta. A life-long hater of anything Capwell, Minx did not like her granddaughter Laken's relationship with Ted Capwell, either.

The family found it strange when Minx employed Brick Wallace to work at her mansion, only to have it revealed later that Brick was actually the son of Sophia and Lionel whom Minx has switched with another child so she wouldn't have to watch the Capwells raising him.

Minx disappeared from town in 1987 and reappeared surprisingly in 1990 with a brand new outlook on life. She found a good business strategy that started another war between the Capwells and the Lockridges, as Minx worked to buy back her property from C.C. 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.
