Days Of Our Lives' Banks Siblings Explained

"Days of Our Lives" fans learned to love the character of Susan Banks, a kindhearted and eccentric person with a soft spot for Elvis Presley. She even named her son EJ DiMera after the singer (via Soaps in Depth). Over the years, fans of the soap opera have learned more about Susan, including the fact that she had psychic abilities — and that she had three siblings with big personalities as well.

In addition to playing the roles of Kristen DiMera and Susan Banks on "Days of Our Lives" over the years, Eileen Davidson also portrayed all three of Susan's quadruplet siblings. They are an interesting group — and almost make Susan look normal (via Soaps.com).

One sister is Penelope, who was given up for adoption at birth and met Susan as an adult, revealing that she was an actress dying of an incurable disease. Susan first mistook Penelope for Kristen but soon learned the truth about her sister. Sadly, Penelope ended up dying in a swimming pool before she got to spend any significant amount of time with Susan. 

Penelope may have been a short-lived character, but she brought plenty of drama and entertainment to Salem during her time on the soap opera.
