Walter Barber was the father of Olivia Winters and Drucilla Winters. Lillie Belle Barber and her husband, Walter, favored their older daughter, Olivia, because Dru was an unwanted child--the result of husband Walter's drunken lust. The favortism of Olivia over Drucilla caused Dru to run away from home to Genoa City as a teenager and spend years on the streets racking up a criminal record. In 1991, Lillie Belle and Walter stopped visiting for a while. In 1994, Walter arrived and took Lillie Belle back home.
