Character Information

In one episode it is revealed that their father is Homer's supervisor at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. He fires Homer for causing an accident while waving to Bart from a cart during a school tour of the plant. Homer, however, had the last laugh when he was promoted above the twins' father to safety inspector. Their mother is shown in Bart Sells His Soul and looks just like her daughters.
Relationships With Other Characters
Bart
They are quite stuck up, and never miss an opportunity to berate Bart. Bart appears to have a crush on one of them, as admitted in Hungry Hungry Homer. Sherri referred to Bart as an ugly, smelly dork, but was convinced by Homer to go on a date with Bart after he told her that neither she or Bart could do much better. One of the twins stated that her sister had a crush on Bart in Bart Star. Another time Homer openly addressed Terri as "the one Bart has a crush on". However, Bart seems to have forgotten about his crush (as he has many other loves not long after) and most likely ended the relationship altogether.
Lisa
The two can also be seen as friends of Lisa and at other times rivals. In Sleeping with the Enemy, the duo taunt Lisa over her big butt; in Bart of Darkness, they mention that "the same day Lisa got a pool" was the day they realized they like her.
Future
In the episode Future-Drama set "eight years in the future", it is revealed that Nelson Muntz simultaneously dated and impregnated both of the twins, who bore him four children (two sets of twins, naturally) shortly before Nelson's high school graduation. He abandoned them during Bart's graduation party.
Creation
They have similarities to the ghost girls Danny sees in Stanley Kubrick's adaptation, The Shining, of Stephen King's The Shining (novel)|novel of the same name. In a deleted scene of the parody of the Shining called Treehouse of Horror V they are ghost twins seen by Bart.
