[4] Minnie arrived to Ferndale with her mother Ellen Crozier (Robyn Malcolm) and stepfather Johnny Marinovich (Stelio Yiakmis) and was devastated when the two separated.
Minnie met her real father Ryan Birch (Robert Harte) and was shocked when she learned she was the product of rape.
She grew close to Harry Martin (Dean O'Gorman) and soon lost her virginity to her streetkid stepbrother Fergus Kearney (Paul Ellis).
Minnie was disgusted in Johnny when he didn't get back together with Ellen and she briefly dated a Neo Nazi leader in retaliation.
Following the death of her sister Rose (Georgia Bishop), Minnie dated Oscar Henry (Christopher Brown) but the two broke up when he started to control all aspects of her life.
