Since Staci Greason is now an accomplished author, if Days of Our Lives resurrects John’s lost love and Brady’s mother, the show will need a new actress to play Victor’s daughter. Our picks to play Isabella are below…

Kim Johnston Ulrich
The Passions vet is the only actress on this list who has actual experience playing Eric Martsolf’s mom: She did so when she and Brady’s portrayer were Ivy and Ethan on the wacky NBC soap.
Jessica Leccia
Not only does the Guiding Light alum look the part of Victor’s daughter, but if Crystal Chappell reprised her role of Carly, fans of the much-missed daytime drama could get a repeat of “Otalia.”
Kathleen Gati
Since the General Hospital scene stealer is only recurring as Liesl, Days of Our Lives could snatch her up to make Isabella especially stiff competition for Marlena in John’s eyes.
Anna Holbrook
The Another World leading lady won an Emmy for playing Sharlene and her alter egos. So just tackling the one role of Isabella would be a piece of cake for the MVP.
Madeleine Stowe
The veteran actress was the ultimate bad girl on Revenge. But she’s more than versatile enough to perfectly embody John’s good-hearted former wife.
Fiona Hutchison
How appropriate would it be for a One Life to Live star — she was Gabrielle, you recall — to be the one to get Isabella out of her all-white wardrobe and back among the living.
Jane Badler
Primetime viewers will never forget her turn as V villainess Diana. But the TV icon actually got her start in soaps on As the World Turns and One Life to Live.
Alice Barrett
She may never get to resurrect Another World casualty Frankie — and yes, we’re still steamed about her murder — but she could certainly give Isabella a new lease on life.
Kim Zimmer
The Emmy winner who brought Guiding Light’s wild and crazy Reva to life might not be the first person you’d think of to bring Isabella back to life. But you bet your ass Zimmer has the chops to get the job done right.
Terri Garber
Fondly remembered for her stints on Dynasty and As the World Turns, the North and South actress would fit right in among Salem’s lot.
