Billy Parker is the biological father of Leah Barnes. Amy met Billy in a park whilst celebrating her birthday with Michaela McQueen in June 2006. Billy flirted with Amy and the pair shared a kiss before sleeping together in the woods. After being involved in a car accident in October 2006, Amy discovered that she was pregnant. Amy initially let Ste Hay believe that he was Leah's father as Billy refused to play any part in Leah's life, but Ste eventually learned the truth.
In December 2012, Billy arrived at Carter & Hay Delicatessen, telling Ste that he had recently married and he and his wife wanted Leah in their lives. Billy was stunned to learn that Ste was married to Doug Carter and said that it was "unnatural" for Leah to have two fathers. Ste ordered Billy to leave.
Billy returned again in May 2018, threatening to apply for custody of Leah if Ste did not give him money. Ste's boyfriend Harry Thompson met with Billy and punched him, warning him to stay away. Billy blackmailed Harry, but James Nightingale told Billy that if he did not sign a contract making Ste the legal guardian of Leah, James would report Billy for refusing to pay child support. Billy reluctantly signed the contract and left.
