Character history

Warren Lockridge, the son of Augusta Wainwright and Lionel Lockridge, was a young man, a seducer, wasting no time in his life. Realizing that he won't get far with Jade Perkins, Warren took an interest in Summer Blake, Gina DeMott's sister, but their love story was cut off when Summer was brutally murdered by the carnation killer, later known as Peter Flint. But Warren wasted no time grieving because he was one of the suspects in the murder of Channing Capwell Jr., but was eventually cleared of all suspicion.

After a short fling with Elizabeth Peale, Warren met Maggie Gillis, a promising young cop, and they fell in love. Even that so-called relationship was ruined when Warren learned Maggie was taking care of an invalid husband at home and that she would never leave him. Warren then started gambling and losing high amount of money that even resulted in robbery. Realizing that he took things too far, Warren decided to leave town. He returned shortly after that but found out that most of the people he was close to were also gone, so he decided to depart once again.

Four years later, Warren returned to Santa Barbara a much wiser man. He received a shock when he learned that Minx Lockridge's long-lost daughter is actually Cassandra Benedict, a woman Warren had a fling with. Warren ended up with Angela Raymond, but Cassandra constantly tried to break up the couple. Warren was also, at the time, accused of murdering Amado Gonzales, but it was him who alter learned that the real murderer was Craig Hunt.

Cassandra stopped at nothing to break up Warren and Angela, even trying to poison Angela, which resulted in Lionel Lockridge ending up in a hospital. Warren received the show of his life when his mother Augusta revealed to him that Lionel wasn't his biological father. Augusta left town before she could reveal who was his father, and Warren had a hard time dealing with the truth.

Warren and Lionel remained friends, and Angela had shown her support to Warren. Warren took a career in journalism, where he met a young boy named Troy with a big talent, only to reveal later that it was actually B.J. Walker in a disguise. While B.J. was battling a court case, Warren had shown his support for her and the couple fell in love. Angela had left Warren to be with Ted Capwell, so the road was clear for Warren and B.J. Warren asked B.J. to marry him, and they did, in the final episode. [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ctc3anVIh08 The Finale] ]
