BARBARA RYAN STENBECK MUNSON DIXON MUNSON'S HISTORY
Barbara grew up in a house with a loving mother, Jennifer, and stepfather, Bob Hughes. She went off to college after high school and received a degree in art. While she was away, she fell in love for the first time, but broke it off before returning to Oakdale. Later, she set her sights on Tom Hughes, her former stepbrother. Tom and Barbara's relationship was getting very serious until the rich James Stenbeck came back with a secret! Barbara had an affair with James, and as a result, she got pregnant! Although James had no idea at the time that he was the father, he still wanted to cause trouble for Barbara. She had no desire to raise a child while she was still young herself, so she gave her son to her best friend to raise. When she found out that her best friend's husband was abusive, she wanted Paul to get out of that situation. Tom helped her regain custody of her son. Once James realized that Paul was his son, he made Barbara leave Tom at the alter to pursue a life with him.
She eventually found a way out of her marriage with James, but she hadn't seen the last of him. Barbara found herself in and out of love throughout the years. Besides James, she married Gunnar St. Claire, Hal Munson, Dr. John Dixon and Craig Montgomery. When she married Hal, she settled down, raised her children, took good care of Hal, and even welcomed Hal's son (from his affair with Carly).
Craig Montgomery was able to persuade Barbara to leave Hal and marry him. She left her secure life with Hal and the children to marry Craig, only to find out that Craig didn't love her but wanted her money. One day, Barbara was the victim of a terrible explosion, which changed her looks physically. She secluded herself from everyone, including her children. She was mad at the way things had turned out and vowed to seek revenge. She started with three women: Rose D'Angelo, who was taking all of Paul's attention, Carly Tenney, who Paul had hired to design for BRO while Barbara was in the hospital, and Emily Stewart, who had found her way into Hal's life when Barbara left him for Craig. She worked with James to have the women removed from the country, but they were eventually found and brought back.
Barbara disliked Rose D'Angelo so much that when she found out Paul was marrying her, she enlisted the help of her youngest son, Will, to help her prevent Paul from marrying her and leaving town. On one occasion, she painted graffiti on Paul's walls and blamed Will for it. To stop Paul from leaving town on his wedding night, Will put poison in Rose's drink to make her ill. Unfortunately, it killed her. Barbara couldn't bear watching Will go to jail so she convinced him to run away with her. While on the run, Paul stopped them as they were boarding the helicopter.
Barbara soon learned there was a price for everything when her children turned their backs on her. She has tried to win over their trust, but they refused to allow it. They acknowledge her and tried to be civil, but they wouldn't allow her to become as close as they once were.
Later, in 2006, Barbara lost her daughter, Jennifer, from Viral Pneumonia. A few months later Hal was killed in the line of duty and struggles to keep her two sons, Will and Paul, in her life.
In 2007, Barbara finally accepted the role of Gwen in Will's life and wished them well. When Gwen miscarried their child, Babs was heartbroken for them and decided to make things right. Unfortunately because of having Will committed, she couldn't help them adopt through an agency and so she hired a lawyer for a private adoption. Barbara was connected with Cole and Iris who demanded money for Sofie's baby. Desperate for her children, Babs agrees to pay them off. When everything came out, Sofie refused to hand over the baby and Will and Gwen were crushed. They blamed Barbara. Sofie realized she couldn't care for the baby and did give her to Will and Gwen. Slowly, Barbara was able to make things up to her children, but they decided they needed a fresh start and left Oakdale.
At the same time, Barbara found out she had Oral Cancer. She kept the truth from everyone but Sofie found out and began playing nurse to her. She eventually told Paul the truth, too, and he convinced Meg to be Babs' nurse. Sofie began to act strangely so Barbara cut her off; Sofie accused Paul of raping her. Barbara used her illness to hurry up the wedding of Paul and Meg. Barbara was certain Sofie was lying and threatened Sofie, who turned up dead! It was finally revealed that Cole killed her when he took Barbara as his hostage. Paul and Meg rescued her in the nick of time.
Soon after, Rick Decker arrived in town. The necklace he intended for Barbara actually made it to Meg, who was haunted by Sofie. Chris Hughes found an antidote and saved Meg's life. As soon as this drama ended, another erupted - in the form of James! He returned to town bent on raising Meg and Paul's child as his own. He stole Barbara's money so Paul would be forced to work with him and then kidnapped Meg.
Barbara's cancer treatments are going well.

Tuesday, March 16 2010: A Real Courtship.
Barbara is in her room. She looks in the mirror and wonders what she was thinking running after Henry.
Chris goes back into Al's and joins his parents and Barbara. Katie and Reid walk in. Katie shows Bob the check. He's excited and he's even more excited to have Reid stay. Reid demands a lot in return. Bob says he'll consider his requests and teasingly offers to hire someone else. That outrages Reid who then agrees to look at whatever he draws up. As Katie explains that Vienna convinced Henry to support this, Barbara looks annoyed. Kim takes her aside and asks her if she's told Henry how she really feels.
Barbara meets Henry at WOAK as everyone gathers for the press conference. They whisper together and she asks him if he's glad Vienna's back. They're interrupted before he can answer. The press conference begins. Kim tells Barbara that she better tell Henry exactly what she wants, many times if she has to. She stares at him, as the broadcast begins. Henry presents the check and talks about Brad. When the commercial break comes, Katie gets called away after her babysitter calls.
They all go over to the Lakeview to toast to Henry. Kim sends Vienna off with Bob and Henry slips away to catch Barbara in the elevator. She thinks he should be with Vienna. He doesn't want her anymore, not when Barbara wants him for who he really is, not for a fantasy. She tells him she's fine with who he is and she likes him more than she should. He likes who he is with her. They wonder what's next. The doors open. She tells him they can't be together until he resolves things with Vienna. She goes into her room and Vienna comes up. He hides.
Monday, March 15 2010: Kind Of Cool.
Barbara walks into the Lakeview and catches Henry making out with Vienna. She loudly welcomes the other woman back. They sit down and Vienna talks about how much she's missed Henry and worried she'd lost him. Now that he's making up for his freak out over his paternity, she can let go of her anger and forgive him for sleeping with Barbara. "It wasn't your fault Henry had sex with you," Vienna tells Barbara, who doesn't appreciate the snide comment. Vienna is sure Henry's mother forced him into. He's desperate to escape but the women won't budge. Vienna rants about how everything James touched is old, sick and corrupt. She wants to settle back into their room. Barbara asks her if she's curious about who has been spending time in that room while she was gone. She doesn't say any more, however, and leaves them alone.
Henry chases Barbara down outside of Fashions. He thanks her for being classy and not telling Vienna about them. She tells him to enjoy the life he just got back. Henry tries to tell her this isn't what he thinks. She insists it's okay and they don't need to pretend that there was more between them than there was.
Barbara goes into Fashions and returns the dress Henry bought for her. Lisa digs into why she's returning it and Barbara blurts out that she's been sleeping with Henry. Lisa gasps and stutters before telling her that she's seen a real spring in her step. Barbara admits it was fun and sadly walks off.
