Fictional character biography

Elaine Banner is the sister of Susan Banner and Brian Banner. During their childhood, all three of them including their Mother were physically and mentally abused by their alcoholic father, Bruce Banner. For years they suffered but eventually they pulled through until he died. Even though Elaine and Susan learned to put it behind them' their brother Brian was not so fortunate.

Susan, Elaine and Brian all wanted to move on with their lives but Brian was still suffering from the trauma of their childhood together and would do everything he could to spend as little time with his siblings as possible because he didn't want to relive anymore bad memories, straining the relationship between them. Susan married a man by the name of Drake, and Brian ended up marrying a woman named Rebecca.

Elaine married Morris Walters, becoming Elaine Walters, and soon after gave birth to their daughter, Jennifer. Morris hoped that Jennifer would become a police officer like him, but Elaine supported her daughter's ambitions to become a professional dancer growing up instead.

Since Morris was the Sheriff of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department, he came across many enemies, the biggest one being the mobster Nicholas Trask. Trask planned to murder Morris by making his death look like a drunk driving accident, but his plan backfired when Elaine had been the one driving to see Jennifer’s dance recital with two of her friends.
