March 12, 2003 was a dark day for Gus Aitoro and Eden August. The two found out that, after everything they've been through together (she killed a guy who's been bad-mouthing their dad; Gus took the rap), they weren't actually genetically brother and sister!
And, as the Augustino kids deal with the fall-out of their discovery, SoapCity thought we would take a look back at some of the other Springfield Siblings (some biological, some not) we've come to know and love over the years, like:
Mike and Ed Bauer
