DR. OLIVIA BARBER WINTERS'S HISTORY
In 1990, Olivia Barber was the girlfriend of Nathan Hastings, a detective with Paul William's Investigations. She was reunited with her sister Drucilla after Nathan caught her shoplifting at Fenmore's department store. Being as Olivia was always considered the smart daughter, with a medical degree, it took many years before she and Drucilla mended their broken relationship.
Dru resented Olivia further after Neil Winters expressed his interest in her. However, Olivia went on to marry Nathan, leaving Neil to fall in love with Dru. After she became pregnant, Olivia was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She ended up delivering a healthy boy, then had a hysterectomy. Olivia and Nathan's marriage came to a devastating halt when Nathan took up with HIV positive Keesha Monroe. After Olivia kicked him out, Nathan kidnapped their son Nate and took off on the run. When Nathan finally agreed to return Nate, he was tragically hit by a car and killed right before Olivia's eyes.
With her son safe, Olivia fell for Neil's brother Malcolm Winters and the two married. Malcolm and her son had a strong bond and Olivia thought she was finally going to be happy. However, after Malcolm's old girlfriend Callie came to town, Olivia became enraged with jealousy and she ended up pushing Malcolm into Callie's arms. The two divorced and Olivia set her sights on Drucilla's ex-husband and Malcolm's brother Neil! Although they had a brief affair, nothing ever came from their relationship.
Olivia's life was again in danger when she almost died from aplastic anemia, but Dru came to her rescue and donated her bone marrow to save Olivia from a close death. Still bitter from their divorce, Olivia refused to let Malcolm see Nate. Malcolm later took her to court and won visitation. However, soon after, while away on a business trip to Kenya, Malcolm was presumed dead after his car had gone over a bridge and plunged into the river below.
Olivia did the unthinkable when she had an affair with her best friend Ashley's husband Brad Carlton! When it turned out that Ashley was pregnant with Brad's baby, Olivia and Brad's affair ended and he went back to his wife. For a few years, Olivia threw herself into her job and spent many hours on duty at Genoa City Memorial. When Dru returned to GC, along with her Paris boyfriend Wesley Carter, Olivia was there to take Dru's place after reuniting with her ex-husband Neil. Although Olivia and Wesley were briefly engaged, he went back to Paris and the two ended things.
Three years later, Malcolm shocked GC when he showed up in town alive! Although grateful for his life, Olivia was furious that Malcolm hadn't made contact with Nate who had been grieving over his death. Olivia ended up forgiving Malcolm and even allowed him to stay at the apartment until he got on his feet.
Since then, Olivia has moved to Africa to join Doctors Without Borders, but returned briefly when Drucilla was killed.

Wednesday, November 05 2008: All For a Few Lousy Bucks!
Devon, Tyra, Ana and Neil joke around at Indigo as they raid Ana's Hallowe'en candy. Olivia and Karen come in and watch as they all shout and arm wrestle over the loot! As the melee breaks up, Karen and Neil sit down together. He tells her he has thought about his life, and how he has a wonderful girlfriend who he loves, and if they ever decide they want kids they can adopt. Devon sits at another table with Ana, and when he leaves, Tyra sits down. Ana asks her mother if she likes Neil the same way Karen does. Tyra gently reminds Ana that he has been good to them but he is with Karen. Olivia overhears and she comes over to talk to Tyra. They agree that Karen is lucky to have Neil, but that he is also very lucky to have Karen! Olivia and Karen talk next, and Karen tells her that she told Neil about her hysterectomy. Olivia says that if Neil told her he's committed he would mean it with his whole heart. Karen asks about Dru, and Olivia says the air around the two of them crackled. Karen looks past her to where Neil and Tyra are joking around closely. Soon the good looking police officer comes into Indigo seeking a date with Tyra. Olivia steps up to offer to sit with Ana, and Tyra accepts his invitation! Across the room with Karen, Neil watches and doesn't look pleased!
Thursday, October 30 2008: Ghosts and Goofballs!
Karen meets Olivia at Crimson Lights. Karen tells her how much it meant to her that Neil mentioned wanting to have kids with her. Olivia points out that Neil loved her enough to ask about it, then says, "How much do you love him?" They turn and look as, just then, Neil comes in and greets Ana, who is across the room dressed as a cheerleader. Tyra is there too, dressed in a blue wig. The handsome police officer that brought Ana back from the train station arrives. He flirts shamelessly with Tyra. She leaves with Ana and her friends, and Olivia also goes, saying she has work to do. Neil turns his attention to Karen. She tells him that she needs to talk to him about something - something that he deserves to know! She describes her mother's death and how difficult it was for her to go through the chemo and loss while she was in middle school. She then explains that if you are a carrier, you are 15 times more likely to get the disease. She admits that she is a carrier! She tells him that she could not bear to risk putting a child through what she went through as a girl! As Neil says they'll do more research, Karen stops him by saying that she had a hysterectomy! She cries as she says she never wanted to have cancer, or pass on the gene, but she would have loved to have had kids with him! Neil is floored! He compliments her on how strong she is, though, and assures her that he has already made a decision to be with her, and he stands by that! Karen won't accept it, however, she says he is just so nice, but he needs to really think about what he'd be giving up - she grieved already when she made her decision - now he has to make his decision. She kisses him and leaves. Neil grimaces.
