Steven Banks was the husband of Linda Banks and the father to Justin Banks and Steven Banks Jr. In 1999, Steven was fatally struck by a car, driven by Dan Sanders and Nikki Sullivan. Dan was sent to prison for dangerous driving, and was released later that year.
In March 2000, Dan and Nikki went to apologise to the Banks family. Linda told the pair how Linda only discovered that she was pregnant following Steven's death and she gave birth to a son, whom she named after her late husband.
